Chariot Resources: High-Grade Lithium in Nigeria
About this episode
Chariot Resources Nigerian projects, Fonlo and Iganna, yield high-grade spodumene, a lithium mineral, in all six samples. Independent tests show spodumene making up 28.4% to 75.3% of the rock by weight, with lithium oxide grades hitting 2.66% to 5.96%. This discovery, coupled with the presence of pollucite, a caesium-rich mineral, positions Chariot strongly for their Nigerian push. The company plans to conduct more surface sampling, mapping, and drill targeting at the sites, while also exploring small-scale mining options. Chariot continues to advance U.S. projects, aiming to fast-track their West African lithium opportunity.

Chariot resources just drop some major news from Nigeria. They confirmed high-grade spotamine in all six samples from their FONLO and EGANA projects. Independent tests by the University of British Columbia showed this lithium mineral making up between 28.4% and 75.3% of the rock by weight. Lithium oxide grades hit between 2.66% and 5.96%. These results are a game changer because spotamine is straightforward to process. Unlike messier minerals like lapidolite, which didn't show up at all. They also found polucite, a cesium-rich mineral, up to 9.5% in 1 EGANA sample, backing up earlier high cesium readings. This puts Chariot in a strong spot for their Nigerian push. The projects are part of a four-site portfolio, covering 254 square kilometers with a history of artisanal mining. They're grabbing a 66.67% stake. And last month, the Nigerian government greenlit the license transfers to their joint.
Fincher. Now with the mineralogy locked in, Chariot's clearing hurdles for metallurgical work and ramping up plans. Expect more surface sampling, mapping and drill targeting at FONLO and EGANA plus scouting small-scale mining options. They're not stopping there. Keeping momentum on US projects like Black Mountain and Wyoming and resurgent in Nevada. With the risking underway, Chariot's gearing up to fast track this West African lithium opportunity.
