Castillo Copper (LON: CCX) provided an update on its Picasso Lithium Project on Monday morning, stating that the project, from Australia, is prospective for lithium mineralisation.
A geology team who mapped and collected samples from the high-density corridor for the company confirmed a 10km zone of pegmatite occurrences in the north-eastern part of the tenure, which significantly exceeds government mapping.
“The observed pegmatites are potentially related to lithium mineralisation which enhances prospectivity of the tenure’s north-eastern quadrant,” stated Castillo.
