(SMM2, March 14): Liontown Resources (ASX:LTR) has updated its resources for the Kathleen Valley lithium project in Western Australia, with new exploration resources up 86 per cent from previous estimates.

The new resources in Catherine Valley currently total 139 million tons, with 1.3 per cent lithium and 140 ppm tantalum. 1.8Mt lithium or 4.5Mt equivalent lithium carbonate and 43 million pounds of tantalum are expected.

David Richards (David Richards), managing director, said: "based on the latest results of extended drilling, it is clear that it is expected to greatly exceed the amount of exploration announced."

He added: "this release of the resource update, which clearly shows that the Catherine Valley is a first-class lithium-tantalum deposit."
