Lithium Australia's CEO, Adrian Griffin, said «For Lithium Australia shareholders, the new partnership with MetalsTech represents an outstanding opportunity to gain direct equity leverage to new
pegmatite projects in an established hard - rock lithium jurisdiction located in the province of Quebec, Canada.
Lithium ore (spodumene) at Greenbushes is mined from the fresh, unweathered zones in
the pegmatite that are exposed in the open pits.
The Greenbushes
pegmatites belong to the Lithium - Caesium - Tantalum family.
The Greenbushes
pegmatites are mineralogically zoned in a lenticular interfingering style along strike and down dip.
The Greenbushes
pegmatite deposit intrudes along a major northwest regional fault zone.
The pegmatite consists of a large main zone over 3 kms long and up to 300 m wide with numerous smaller pegmatite dykes and pods flanking the main body.
The Greenbushes
pegmatite has unique features that distinguish it from many other rare - metal pegmatites.
There are four known
pegmatites on the property with a total historical resource of 3.95 million tons at a grade of 1.28 % Li2O [1].
Historical exploration indicates that at least two of
the pegmatite dykes are the highly evolved LCT (lithium - cesium - tantalum) bearing type.
The division includes five

Pegmatite Field in southeast Manitoba.

pegmatite rock fragment.
The huge size of these crystals implies a type of magma called
pegmatite, a juicy water - rich melt that provides unusual conditions, allowing minerals to grow to enormous sizes.
Gems are usually found in igneous rocks (mainly
pegmatite dikes) and in contact metamorphic zones.

pegmatite, etc..
