All of your ASX lithium information for Tuesday, January 17.
 
Recharge Industries has engaged international IT consultancy firm Accenture as its engineering supplier to construct a A$300m lithium-ion battery plant in Geelong, Victoria as business gamers start to hunt options outdoors of China.
On Monday, Recharge stated it was shifting the challenge into the detailed engineering part, which is able to lay the muse for the ability’s building – earmarked to start within the second half of 2023 after tools arrives in Could.
At full capability, the large-scale lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing facility will generate as much as 30 gigawatt hours (GWh) of storage capability per yr for electrical automobiles and stationary vitality storage markets.

Recharge has a objective to provide batteries equal to 2GWh yearly within the second half of 2024, reaching 6GWh by 2026.
The 2 corporations will collaborate carefully with Cost CCCV (C4V), a know-how companion of Recharge IndustriesTM, to help the bold timing.
C4V supplies confirmed Mental Property (IP), a professional provide chain, blueprints and know-how ideas for battery manufacturing, which speed up planning, engineering, and building.
Accenture will work carefully with Recharge IndustriesTM to adapt C4V’s IP to the situations and necessities of the Geelong manufacturing plant.
 
A complete of 41 shares completed within the inexperienced, 49 fell flat, and one other 49 tumbled into the pink zone.
 
Latin has launched into an intensive 65,000m useful resource growth drill program at its flagship Salinas lithium challenge in Brazil.
Highlighting the size of this endeavour, six small footprint diamond drill rigs have arrived on website and commenced drilling whereas two extra bigger, truck mounted rigs are scheduled to reach on website in February.
The useful resource infill and growth program will give attention to fast-tracking the expansion of Indicated and Inferred Sources on the Colina deposit and useful resource definition for the Colina West prospect.
 
Assays returned from rock samples of not too long ago found pegmatite outcrops have returned excessive concentrations of weathered spodumene at Corazon Mining’s Miriam challenge.
Laboratory evaluation has confirmed the presence of lithium and validated preliminary findings, together with excessive grade values of between 1.01% and 1.85% Li2O.
 
Oar has utilized for 5 extra tenements surrounding its three already granted tenements on the Denchi Lithium Undertaking close to Wiluna in Western Australia’s Northern Goldfields.
These new tenements cowl 784.3km2 throughout 253 blocks, increasing the present challenge space to a complete 1004.4km2.
 
Leo Lithium has elevated its mineral useful resource estimate on the Goulamina lithium challenge by 31% to 142.3Mt at 1.38% Li2O.
The end result confirms the prevalence of a high-grade useful resource at Danaya and helps attainable extension of the present 23-year Goulamina challenge mine life.
 
Larvotto has kicked off a maiden drill program on the Eyre Undertaking following the completion of Native Title Heritage Surveys and Environmental Evaluation on the Merivale and Merivale South prospects.
Aircore drilling of the lithium and uncommon earth aspect (TREO) anomalies recognized at Merivale and Merivale South commenced on January 16 and can comprise 4,000m of drilling.
 
A 3,414m drill program has wrapped up on the Aurora Power Metals Undertaking in south-east Oregon, testing each uranium and lithium targets.
Huge zone lithium bearing clays have been recognized, returning 19.8m at 1,206ppm Li from 51.8m, 24.4m at 1,138ppm Li from 39.6m, and 19.8m at 1,298ppm Li from 27.4m.
All of the RC samples and diamond core from the drill program have been delivered to the laboratory in Reno earlier than Christmas and it’s anticipated that chemical assays will probably be accomplished, and outcomes made obtainable on the finish of January 2023.
 
Widgie has continued to overview all obtainable datasets demonstrating potential for lithium bearing pegmatites, following the lithium potential demonstrated on the not too long ago found Faraday prospect.
The preliminary overview of drill information highlighted historic assay outcomes of as much as 14m at 0.95% Li2O from 13m on the Voyager prospect on the southernmost drill line.
While drilling 50m on to the north did not intersect pegmatite, reinterpretation and confirmatory floor mapping suggests a special orientation – which means earlier drilling on the Voyager prospect was ineffective.
Widgie now intends, upon completion of the present reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Faraday, to right away conduct an preliminary eight (8) gap drill program to check the lithium potential at Voyager.
Following this, the corporate will look to increase drilling alongside strike and at depth.
 
Soil sampling at Morella’s North Huge Smoky Lithium Undertaking in Nevada, USA has recognized a big zone of elevated lithium grades throughout the central a part of the challenge space.
Ends in the central a part of the NBS deposit present elevated lithium assays as much as 499 ppm with over 40% of the assays with grades of 200 ppm lithium or extra.
Almost 90% of the deposit reveals lithium grades larger than 100 ppm.
“These outcomes are extraordinarily encouraging given the proximity to floor, coupled with recognized targets at depth the NBS challenge is shaping up effectively for the subsequent part of Passive Seismic (PSS) and
Magnetotelluric exploration with the intention to present a platform for a future drilling program,” 1MC managing director James Brown says.
