AJN Resources Inc Initiates Lithium Exploration in DRC’s Manono Nord-est Project
On Friday, May 31, 2024, Canadian junior exploration company, AJN Resources Inc, announced the commencement of lithium exploration on its Manono Nord-est project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The project is located in the Tanganyika province under permit PR15282.
A South African drilling company has been engaged to closely monitor the percussion drilling program and analyze drilling data. The program has already identified three zones of alluvial sediments adjacent to granite contact zones.
These targeted areas span approximately 7 kilometers within the permit area, as illustrated in Figure 1. Anomalous lithium and tin samples have been discovered, particularly in the southern part of PR 15232.
CEO Klaus Eckhof emphasized the importance of this work in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the geological and mineral landscape.
“RC drilling will allow us to better understand the geological structures and potential mineralization at deeper levels within our license area,” commented Eckhof.
AJN Resources Inc has previously conducted numerous sampling programs of sediments from pits and watercourses, resulting in the identification of tin mineralization and lithium grades of up to 400 ppm.
This initiative marks a significant step in the exploration and potential development of lithium resources in the DRC, contributing to the global demand for raw materials essential for battery and electric vehicle manufacturing.
