About the Project

We are currently evaluating a promising lithium deposit located in Gilgit Baltistan, North of Pakistan. This project is being undertaken in partnership with Dr. Syed Fakhar Alam and his firm, Keez Consultancy. The site features an extensive homogeneous vein deposit, making it particularly attractive for efficient and scalable extraction.

Deposit Overview

The lithium-bearing material is hosted in a relatively uniform geological setting, which simplifies both the assessment and potential future mining operations. Surface mapping and initial visual assessments indicated the presence of a consistent and accessible vein structure, ideal for mechanized extraction with minimal overburden removal. The deposit is already providing Lithium to interested companies in East Asian Countries.

Sampling Procedure

To evaluate the grade and composition of the deposit, a systematic and methodical sampling campaign was carried out on an 800 metric ton (MT) surface stockpile. The material, which had an average particle size of 25 cm, was organized into 16 individual piles.

A grid sampling method was used, employing a spacing of approximately 50 cm to ensure uniform coverage and statistical reliability. This approach yielded a total of 320 individual samples, each weighing approximately 20 kg, resulting in a cumulative sample mass of 6.4 MT.

Sample Preparation and Reduction

The entire sampled lot underwent primary on-site crushing, reducing the particle size to approximately 50 mm. The crushed material was then thoroughly homogenized through systematic mixing. A 150 kg representative subsample was extracted via the quartering method.

This 150 kg subsample underwent the following preparation steps:

Secondary Crushing: Further size reduction and mixing to improve sample uniformity.

Quartering Reductions: Multiple stages of quartering to maintain representativeness while reducing volume.

Final Subsample: A final 3 kg subsample was obtained for detailed chemical and mineralogical testing.

Milling: Final milling to a particle size of 200 mesh for laboratory analysis.

Current Status

The processed samples are currently undergoing laboratory analysis to determine lithium concentration, mineral associations, and economic feasibility. These results will guide our next phase, which includes a broader geological survey, feasibility studies, and resource modeling.
