Spark Energy Minerals (SPARF) has announced significant lithium findings at its newly identified 'Cruzeta' target within the Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. Rock-chip sampling revealed the company's highest lithium anomalism to date, with values up to 1,397 ppm, along with notable pathfinder elements including Tantalum, Niobium, Tin, Cesium, and Gallium.
The discovery features low Potassium/Rubidium (K/Rb) ratios as low as 23.84, indicating highly evolved and fractionated LCT pegmatites. The company has identified 123 pegmatite occurrences within 13 pegmatite trends over a 31km strike across their 64,359 Ha tenement package. Three high-priority lithium targets (Agua Branca, Grota do Maquém, and Cruzeta) and one rare earth elements target (Caladão) have been mapped for detailed exploration.
Spark Energy Minerals (SPARF) has announced significant exploration results from its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company's stream sediment sampling program revealed 17 out of 24 sub-drainages showing anomalous lithium (80-191 ppm) and pathfinder elements.
Key findings include:
- 122 individual pegmatite occurrences mapped within 13 pegmatite trends over 31km strike
- Two priority lithium targets identified: Grota do Maquém and Água Branca
- New REE target (Caladão Target) discovered with peak values of 2,458ppm TREO in stream sediment and 3,041ppm TREO in soil samples
- 66 old artisanal mine workings identified for follow-up
The company has completed 397 samples collected to date, with 263 results reported and 71 samples awaiting laboratory analysis. Exploration continues across the 64,359-hectare tenement package, with 61 sub-drainage basins remaining to be sampled.
Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) (OTC: SPARF) has announced new results from 16 samples at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company has mapped 109 individual pegmatite occurrences within 11 pegmatite trends spanning over 31km strike.
