Andrada Mining (AIM:ATM), the tin producer with a portfolio of critical minerals assets in Namibia, confirmed high‑grade lithium mineralisation in the third batch of diamond drill results from its Lithium Ridge project.
The results include LRD027: 9.05m @ 2.28% Li2O from 50.82m to 59.87m including 3.97m @ 3.46% Li2O; LRD023: 9.64m @ 1.24% Li2O including 5.11m @ 1.89% Li2O; LRD024: 13.27m @ 1.42% Li2O including 6.79m @ 1.90% Li2O; and LRD037: 3.97m @ 0.95% Li2O including 1.51m @ 1.51% Li2O.
"Intersection grades up to 3.46% Li2O near‑surface demonstrate exceptional quality and scale and reaffirm our conviction in the potential of the asset," Anthony Viljoen, Chief Executive Officer, said.
The company also highlighted consistent associated tin and tantalum across the holes, including LRD029: 4.97m @ 0.21% Sn and 130ppm Ta, and said the extended Stage 1 campaign delivered 143 holes totalling 16,525 metres and was completed in May.
Andrada said the exploration team will continue to prioritise logging and sampling to expedite sample delivery and will provide regular updates as further significant results are received.
