Trigg Mining Ltds (ASX:TMG) survey work has identified priority palaeovalley sulphate of potash (SOP) targets at the Lake Throssell SOP Project in Western Australia.
These positions which will be targeted in an upcoming maiden aircore drilling program as they have strong potential to enhance the high-grade Lake Throssell discovery.
The company believes these targets have strong potential for large-scale SOP mineralisation, particularly given that similar systems in the region are currently subject to mining studies.
“Further evidence of potential”[hhmc]
Trigg Minings managing director Keren Paterson said: “The results of the gravity survey provide further evidence of the potential of the Lake Throssell Sulphate of Potash Project to host a high-grade deposit of this essential natural mineral fertiliser for global food security.
“The data clearly indicates the presence of a large palaeovalley system beneath the lake surface, which we believe could host strong SOP mineralisation.
“This potential will be targeted by our upcoming maiden aircore drilling program as soon as the COVID-19 travel restrictions allow.”

Cornerstone of SOP hub plan[hhmc]
The Lake Throssell project forms the cornerstone of Trigg Minings plans to establish a significant SOP production hub in the Laverton District.
Results from previous hand-auger sampling indicated a high-grade project with samples across the playa area returning grades of up to 14,800mg/l SOP with an average grade of 11,800mg/l.
Survey work[hhmc]
An off-lake ground gravity survey undertaken in March 2020 identified several strong indicators of a palaeovalley underneath the lake surface and potentially extending into the new tenement applications to the north and south of the main playa area.
This interpreted aquifer system will be targeted with up to 30 off-lake aircore drill holes.
