Jindali Resources, listed on the ASX, claimed that its McDermitt (McDermitt, latitude: 42.02°, longitude: -118.06°) lithium deposit in Oregon has become the largest lithium deposit in the United States.
At present, the lithium carbonate content of the project has exceeded 10.1 million tons.
The increase in resource volume is mainly due to the increase in drilling work and beneficiation efficiency in the second half of 2020, and the cut-off grade has dropped from 0.175% to 0.1%.
At present, McDermett has surpassed the Thacker Pass (Latitude: 41.71°, Longitude: -118.07°) deposit of Lithium Americas, which has a lithium carbonate equivalent of 8.3 million tons (cut-off grade). 0.2%).
McDermite ore resources are 1.43 billion tons, with an average lithium content of 0.132%. The ore body has not been penetrated. The company’s exploration target is 1.3 billion to 2.3 billion tons, and the lithium grade is 0.11%-0.15%.
The next drilling work is scheduled for the third quarter. (Yangtze River Nonferrous Metals Network)
