Core Insights - Spark Energy Minerals Inc. has reported new assay results from its Arapaima Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley, highlighting significant lithium and gallium-rare earth element (REE) anomalies [1][4] Group 1: Lithium Anomalies - Three lithium anomalies exceeding 1,000 ppm Li have been defined from surface rock samples at the Cruzeta target [8] - The ongoing exploration work includes mapping, geochemical analysis, and sampling to support the definition of high-priority critical-mineral drill targets [1][3] Group 2: Gallium and REE Expansion - The total rare earth oxide (TREO) values from stream-sediment samples at the Caladão target returned above 10,000 ppm (1%), extending the anomalous footprint southward [8] - The company is finalizing logistics and permitting for drilling at the gallium-REE Caladão target, adjacent to recent ionic-clay gallium and REE discoveries [3] Group 3: Drilling Plans - Initial drilling will test the subsurface continuity of lithium-bearing pegmatites and gallium-REE mineralization zones identified through surface sampling and mapping [3] - The exploration team is preparing to advance its first subsurface testing program within the district, guided by ongoing geochemical interpretation and field mapping [3][4]
