With 70% of the tenement package still unexplored, Spark plans to follow up on anomalous analytical results from December 2024 and continue first-pass exploration across unexplored areas.
Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) (OTC: SPARF) has announced the discovery of a new 1.2km pegmatite corridor at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley, extending the total trend length to 28.4km. The project, spanning 64,359 hectares, is strategically located just 15km from Sigma Lithium, Brazil's largest lithium company.
The exploration team has identified multiple pegmatite bodies, some exceeding 5m in thickness, composed of quartz, feldspar, white mica, and variable concentrations of tourmaline. The project features 8 pegmatite trends supported by 78 individual pegmatite occurrences mapped in the central and north sections. Notably, 80% of the tenement package remains unexplored, suggesting significant potential for further discoveries.
The company has engaged Beau Nicholls of Sahara Mining Services for an independent NI 43-101 Exploration Report, while Q4 2024 exploration program samples are currently being analyzed at SGS Laboratory with results expected soon.
Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) (OTC: SPARF) has launched its 2025 exploration program at the 64,359-hectare Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company's Q4 2024 exploration identified 3 priority targets within 8 pegmatite trends, comprising 27.2km of prospective strike.
Key developments include:
- 144 samples submitted for analysis, with results expected in late January
- Exploration of remaining 80% of tenement package planned
- Retention of Sahara Mining Services for NI 43-101 Exploration Report
- Appointment of Richard Dan Hamer as consultant geologist
The company plans to continue first-pass exploration across the remainder of its tenement package through March 2025, while focusing on priority targets already identified. The program will be supported by analytical results from SGS laboratory and an independent field geological assessment for the NI 43-101 report.
Spark Energy Minerals (SPARF) has completed its first field exploration campaign at the 64,359-hectare Arapaima Lithium project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The exploration covered approximately 20% of the land package and identified 8 pegmatite trends with a combined strike of 27.2km. Key findings include:
- 78 individual pegmatite occurrences recorded
- 144 samples submitted to SGS laboratory
- Three priority target areas defined
- Target Area 1: ~13.3km combined pegmatite trend
- Target Area 5: ~5.6km combined strike length
- New Target Area 6: ~8.3km combined strike length
Results from laboratory analysis are expected by end of January 2025, and work will resume on January 6th with three geological teams.
Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) (OTC: SPARF) has announced significant progress at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company has extended its newly identified pegmatite corridor to 7.2km of strike, combining three target areas in the north. Exploration teams have identified two new pegmatite-bearing corridors through an erosional window in lateritic cover sequences.
The company has collected 89 samples across approximately 10-15% of its 64,359-hectare tenement package, with the first batch of nearly 100 samples being submitted to SGS laboratory in Belo Horizonte. Results are expected by mid-January. The area contains deeply weathered two-mica granites with pegmatite veins and dykes, showing potential for lithium-bearing minerals such as spodumene.
Spark Energy Minerals has identified a significant ~1.7km long pegmatite strike corridor at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The discovery was made through an erosional window in shallow laterite cover in the central northern portion of the 64,359-hectare tenement package.
The exploration team has identified 5 priority targets for follow-up outcrop rock chip sampling. The most promising area shows multiple pegmatite bodies up to 0.5m in thickness, with widespread evidence of weathered and kaolinized pegmatite intrusives hosted within granite. The pegmatite corridor remains open on both sides, with potential extension up to 8km based on geophysics.
The area was previously highlighted by CPRM as prospective for Lithium based on visible spodumene in heavy mineral concentrates and anomalous stream sediment sampling results.
Spark Energy Minerals has initiated its maiden exploration program at the Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company has deployed three field geology stream sampling teams across its 64,359-hectare tenement. Two teams are focusing on areas with previously identified spodumene concentrations from CPRM surveys, while the third team is conducting systematic reconnaissance. The first day of exploration revealed promising results, including the discovery of a pegmatite occurrence with potentially lithium-bearing minerals at surface, along with two additional pegmatite outcrops.
Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) has initiated exploration at its 64,359-hectare Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley.
