Si6 hits 3km pegmatite corridor in Brazilian lithium hunt
Si6 Metals has mapped a 3km by 800m pegmatite corridor at its Padre Paraiso project in Minas Gerais, sitting just 20km from Sigma Lithium's Grota do Cirilo operation. Scout auger drilling through the weathered saprolite above the pegmatite returned lithium oxide values up to 401ppm, while rock chips from interpreted Salinas Formation enclaves — the preferred host rock across Brazil's Lithium Valley — assayed up to 247ppm lithium and 695ppm rubidium. The southern portion of the tenement has also flagged clay-hosted rare earths potential, with auger drilling hitting 9m at 1,342ppm TREO including a metre at 1,915ppm, and magnet rare earths averaging more than 20% of the total. A soil sampling program is now underway to define drill targets at depth — read the full article for that work plus the company's recent ground expansions in Botswana and Brazil.
