Adelaide Resources has applied for exploration tenure over two further South Australian salt lakes which may have potential for lithium brines.
The Lake Florence and Lake Killamperpunna tenement applications add to existing lithium brine portfolio tenements over Lake Acraman and Lake Gilles.
Exploration licence application, 'Lake Florence' (751 sq kms) ELA 2016/00062 and 'Lake Killamperpunna' (361 sq kms) ELA 2016/00063 are located east of Lake Eyre.
There has been no known previous exploration for lithium brines at eitehr lake, however both were identified in a recently published research paper titled 'A review of Australian salt lakes and asociated mineral systems' as having potential to host lithium enriched brines due to the high concentration of lithium in the lake catchment areas.
A preliminary, low cost, sampling programme to investigate whether lithium is present at elevated concentrations in the lake brines and sediments is planned.
