Litchfield Minerals has struck promising results at its Lucy Creek 2 project, about 250 kilometres northeast of Alice Springs, with laboratory assays from surface rock chip sampling revealing high-grade manganese and signs of a hydrothermal system.
The findings, confirmed by Bureau Veritas laboratories, point to a potentially large-scale manganese deposit, bolstered by barium and anomalous base metals such as lead, zinc, silver and cobalt.
Litchfield Minerals’ rock chip sample results from initial exploration of its Lucy Creek 2 project report high manganese concentrations with base metals geochemical signatures, indicating a possible large underlying hydrothermal system.
The rock chip sampling program targeted surface exposures of manganese, iron and kaolinite across the Lucy Creek 2 p
