OREAS 750 has been prepared from a blend of RC drill chip samples supplied
from Core Lithium’s Finniss Lithium Project located in the Northern Territory,
Australia, barren granodiorite and quartz. The project area contains the Grants
lithium pegmatite deposit, within the Bynoe Pegmatite Field.
Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) Type pegmatites in the Finniss area intrude
Palaeoproterozoic metasediments of the Burrell Creek Formation. Lithium
mineralisation typically occurs as coarse spodumene and accessory amblygonite
with muscovite, quartz, albite and k-feldspar gangue. The barren granodiorite
was sourced from the mafic, S-Type, Late Devonian Bulla Granodiorite complex
located in northern Melbourne, Australia.
Seventeen commercial analytical
laboratories participated in the program:
• Sodium peroxide fusion with full suite elemental package by ICP-OES
and/or MS finish
• Lithium borate fusion whole rock analysis package by
X-ray fluorescence
• Thermogravimetry: Loss on Ignition (LOI) at
1000°C
• 4-acid digestion for full suite elemental package by ICP-OES
and MS finish
