en.Wedoany.com Reported, Recent reverse circulation drilling at the Mount Edon Rubidium-Lithium Project in Western Australia has been completed, with the Morella-Elevra joint venture reporting strong pegmatite intercept results, laying the groundwork for the project's maiden mineral resource estimate. The project, advanced by Elevra Limited and Morella Corporation, included a 20-hole, 1700-meter drilling program, confirming the presence of extensive and continuous pegmatite mineralization at the Sophie prospect.

Drilling data shows that 11 holes intercepted pegmatite zones exceeding 30 meters in thickness. Hole MER046 intercepted 84 meters of pegmatite starting from a depth of 18 meters, remaining open at depth. Other significant intercepts of 69 meters, 53 meters, and 51 meters further demonstrate the scale and consistency of the mineralization. The drill hole layout reveals a continuous pegmatite corridor, supporting the interpretation of a laterally extensive system.

James Brown, Managing Director of Morella, stated: "Multiple broad pegmatite intercepts confirm the scale and continuity of the system at the Sophie area. Importantly, the consistent thickness and open nature at depth provide a solid foundation for resource modeling. The program was completed safely and efficiently, and we look forward to the assay results and advancing towards the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate."

Geological interpretation has identified two main pegmatite bodies at the Sophie area, both open along strike and at depth. The drilling aimed to increase density, test extensions, and collect data to support modeling. Although assay results are pending, the average intercept thickness of 40-45 meters enhances confidence in the resource potential. The Mount Edon project hosts rubidium-bearing pegmatites with lithium potential, positioning it in the critical minerals sector.

Assay results are expected to be released in the coming weeks. The partners plan to integrate the findings into an updated geological model, advance the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, and plan further drilling to expand the resource base.
