What Are Loyal Lithium's Results from Drilling at the Trieste Lithium Project?
Trieste Lithium Project: Unveiling High-Grade Potential in James Bay
Loyal Lithium Limited (ASX: LLI), a pioneering force in the lithium industry, has released exhilarating high-grade channel assay results from its Trieste Lithium Project in James Bay, Quebec, Canada. These results, emanating from the 2023 summer field program, have showcased significant lithium concentrations in three of the six spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes at the site.
Impressive Assay Results: A Deep Dive
The channel samples, taken to bolster the recently announced high-grade rock chip assay results, have revealed remarkable lithium oxide (Li2O) percentages. Notable results include:
Dyke #01 (TR23CH-002): A partial cross-section yielding 11. 5 meters at 1. 72% Li2O, including subsections of 2. 5 meters at 2.

31% Li2O and 3. 6 meters at 2. 03% Li2O.
Dyke #01 (TR23CH-001): Another section of Dyke #01 presented 7. 4 meters at 1. 99% Li2O, with parts containing up to 3. 63% Li2O over 1. 9 meters and 2. 25% Li2O over 2. 0 meters.
Dyke #01 (TR23CH-003): This segment recorded 5. 0 meters at 2. 39% Li2O, including a higher concentration of 3. 5 meters at 3. 16% Li2O.
Dyke #04 (TR23CH-004): A broader section of 21. 0 meters at 1. 01% Li2O, featuring peaks of 5. 44% Li2O and 4. 82% Li2O over 1. 0 meter each.
Dyke #05 (TR23CH-005): Yielded 12. 0 meters at 0. 62% Li2O, including 2. 0 meters at 2. 16% Li2O.
Financial Stability and Future Plans
Loyal Lithium, with a robust financial foundation of $9. 6 million in cash reserves, is well-prepared to advance its upcoming drilling program in the Canadian winter. This program aims to further explore and validate the mineralized potential of the pegmatite dykes.
Integrating Data for Enhanced Exploration
The channel and rock chip results are currently being integrated with LiDAR, aeromagnetic, and mapping data. This comprehensive approach aims to unlock the full potential of the fertile metasediment host zone, strategically located between the Trieste Greenstone Belt and the southern Tilly granitoid.
Strategic Location and Comparative Analysis
The Trieste Lithium Project, situated merely 10 km east of Winsome Resources’ Adina-Jamar project, benefits from its proximity to a site with a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 59 Mt at 1. 12% Li2O. This advantageous positioning enhances the project's potential and attractiveness in the lithium market.
Management's Perspective and Future Outlook
Adam Ritchie, Loyal Lithium’s Managing Director, expressed optimism about the project's future. He highlighted the unique features of the Trieste greenstone and its five distinct spodumene discoveries. Ritchie emphasized the potential of the metasediment host zone in positioning the Trieste Lithium Project as a low-cost producer in the James Bay Lithium Projects.
The Trieste Lithium Project, with its promising assay results and strategic location, stands as a testament to Loyal Lithium’s commitment to leading in the lithium sector. The company's focus on maximizing the metasediment host zone's advantages, coupled with its well-planned drilling programs, positions it favorably for future success and contributions to the green energy transition.
