Delta Lithium Updates Yinnetharra Lithium-Tantalum Ore Resources
Delta Lithium announced an update to the mineral resources of the Yinnetharra project in Western Australia. The assessment was supported by infill drilling at the Malinda mine and exploration drilling at the Jameson mine. The indicated lithium ore resources at Malinda increased by 140%, reaching 16.1 mt, with 74% of the Yinnetharra lithium ore being indicated resources. The updated lithium ore resources totaled 21.9 mt, with an additional 17.5 mt of tantalum ore. The Jameson mine delineated 0.8 mt of high-grade lithium ore. General Manager James Croser stated that this update lays the foundation for processing operations, with M1 meeting sales standards. The potential of tantalum resources will be further explored, and the Jameson mine also presents growth opportunities.
