Successful Drilling at Golden State Mining's 'Nomad' Prospect Delivers Advanced Lithium Targets at Yule South

Golden State Mining has raised the profile of its Nomad prospect with the highly encouraging drilling results at Yule South, Western Australia.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling of conceptual targets at Nomad, previously named Target 2A, commenced in late July as a follow-up to the identification of lithium and gold targets in air-core intercepts last year.

The drilling program successfully delivered highly anomalous caesium – an encouraging and proximal pathfinder element for lithium pegmatites – at significant grades as high as 6m at 440 ppm (parts per million).

The presence of pathfinder elements boosted Golden State's confidence in the Nomad prospect, so much so that the company renamed it as a reflection of increased priority.

Golden State's Managing Director, Michael Moore, commented: "The recent results from the RC drilling have been subject to a significant level of scrutiny by the company's own technical team in cooperation with our external consultants. The renaming of the Nomad prospect reflects a marked upgrade in priority, which has narrowed Golden State's focus on the interpreted hallmark of a pegmatite source in this prospect area. Each drill program at Yule delivers increasing encouragement and understanding of a vast and exciting project with battery metal and gold potential within a world-class jurisdiction."
