Jon Hill, VP Exploration, commented: "Spark recognized and capitalized on its early mover advantage by securing the largest contiguous greenfields tenement portfolio in Brazil's Lithium Valley. Our exploration thesis, developed in 2022, anticipated that lithium-prospective geology extended well to the east of the known major deposits. This potential has now been independently validated by both lithium and pathfinder element regional stream sediment anomalies, as well as the presence of spodumene particles in regional heavy mineral concentrate samples, as presented in the CPRM's 2016 and 2023 government publication1&2. Our team is actively conducting a multi-disciplinary target generation exercise and plans to initiate fieldwork on priority targets shortly."

勘探副总裁Jon Hill评论道:“spark通过在巴西锂矿谷获得最大的连片绿田权矿地组合,认识到并利用了其早期行动者的优势。我们在2022年制定的勘探方针预期,具有锂潜力的地质学在已知大型矿床的东面延伸得很好。这一潜力现已得到锂和探路元素区域溪流沉积异常以及区域重矿砂样品中闪锂石颗粒的独立验证。这些信息均发布在CPRM的2016年和2023年政府出版物中1、2。我们的团队正在积极进行综合性目标产生练习,并计划很快开始对重点目标进行野外工作。”

Brazil's Lithium Valley: A New Frontier for Hard Rock Lithium

巴西的锂矿谷:硬岩锂的新前沿

Brazil's Lithium Valley is part of the world-class Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province (EBPP), one of the most richly endowed hard rock lithium regions globally. The lithium mineralization in this area is primarily found in spodumene-rich pegmatites (SRP), which are known for forming large, economically viable deposits suitable for both open-pit and underground mining operations.

巴西的锂矿谷属于世界级的东部巴西电气辐射岩带(EBPP),是全球最富有硬岩锂资源的地区之一。该地区的锂矿化主要出现在富闪锂石的电气辐射岩中,这些岩石以形成大型、经济可行的矿床而闻名,适合于露天和地下采矿业务。

Historically, lithium production in this region has been modest, largely supplied by the Companhia Brasileira de Lítio (CBL) since the late 20th century. However, in the last 3-5 years, driven by surging global demand and increased public and private investment, the region has experienced a renaissance. Notably, Sigma Lithium began production in 2023, with three additional projects in the development phase: Lithium Ionic, Latin Resources (now owned by Pilbara Minerals), and Atlas Lithium. Additionally, Australian and Canadian junior explorers, including Si6 Metals and Perpetual Resources, have reported encouraging exploration results.

在过去的3-5年里,受全球需求激增和公私投资增加驱动,这个地区经历了一次复兴,历史上这个地区的锂矿生产一直很有限,主要由巴西锂公司(CBL)自20世纪末供应。值得注意的是,Sigma锂业公司于2023年开始生产,另外还有三个项目处于开发阶段:Lithium Ionic、拉丁资源(现已被Pilbara Minerals收购)和Atlas锂矿。此外,包括Si6 Metals和Perpetual Resources在内的澳大利亚和加拿大初级勘探公司报告了令人鼓舞的勘探结果。

Spark's Strategic Entry into Brazil's Lithium Valley

Spark能源进军巴西锂谷的战略布局

In 2022, Spark recognized the untapped potential of this region. Leveraging existing geological mapping and publicly available geophysical data, Spark's team identified substantial opportunities in underexplored areas east of known SRP deposits, which were largely available for staking.

2022年,Spark认识到了这个地区尚未开发的潜力。利用现有的地质制图和公开可获取的地球物理数据,Spark的团队确定了大量的机会,主要集中在已知SRP矿床以东尚未充分开发的地区,这些地区大多适合进行申请。

In early 2023, Spark successfully secured 64,359 hectares in this highly prospective zone. Their exploration targeting exercise indicated that shallow cover sequences in this area likely overlay fertile G4 granites—the presumed source of lithium-rich pegmatites. Moreover, the area contains structurally favorable host rocks, including basement gneiss, intrusives, and metasediments, further enhancing its potential for large-scale lithium deposits.

2023年初,Spark成功地获得了这个潜力巨大区域的64,359公顷土地。他们的勘探定位练习表明,这一区域的浅层覆盖层可能盖在富含锂的斑岩的源头富有生机的G4花岗岩上。此外,该地区包含结构有利的母岩,包括基底片麻岩、侵入岩和变质沉积岩,进一步增强了其具备大规模锂矿潜力。

Extensive Target Generation and Early Indications of Success

广泛目标生成和早期成功迹象

Following the successful staking of its tenements, Spark's geological team undertook comprehensive target generation. This involved a detailed review of public geophysical and geochemical data, along with the reprocessing of modern remote sensing and geochemical information.

在成功申请其土地后,Spark的地质团队进行了全面的目标生成工作。这包括对公共地球物理和地球化学数据的详细审查,以及对现代遥感和地球化学信息的重新处理。

The results have been highly encouraging. Not only has the prospectivity for SRP deposits been confirmed, but government reports highlight anomalous concentrations of lithium and key pathfinder elements—such as niobium (Nb), cerium (Ce), tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), beryllium (Be), and boron (B)—in regional stream sediment samples from Spark's tenements. Moreover, spodumene particles have been detected in heavy mineral concentrates panned from streams within Spark's holdings, indicating the strong potential for economically significant lithium mineralization.

结果令人鼓舞。不仅确认了SRP矿床的远景,而且政府报告突出显示了在Spark的土地上区域溪流沉积样品中异常高的锂和重要的指示元素浓度,如铌(Nb)、铈(Ce)、锡(Sn)、钽(Ta)、铍(Be)和硼(B)。此外,在Spark持有的地区的河流中经济矿物富集的重矿物浓缩物中已检测到锂辉石颗粒,表明在此地存在经济上重要的锂矿化潜力。
