Stockhead’s Sarah Hughan sits down with Torque Metals (ASX:TOR) managing director Cristian Moreno to close the books on 2023 and gain a sneak peek into what’s around the corner.

Maiden drilling at Torque Metals’ New Dawn lithium project in WA’s Goldfields has confirmed the presence of spodumene-bearing pegmatites with a peak grade of 3.99% Li2O.

Torque Metals has followed up on high-grade lithium assays from diamond drilling at its New Dawn project in WA’s Goldfields region with the observation of abundant spodumene in RC drilling.

Torque Metals’ inaugural drill program at New Dawn – a stone’s throw from the Bald Hill mine — is intersecting high grade lithium with visible spodumene.

Torque Metals has accelerated its inaugural reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its New Dawn lithium project in WA, mobilising a second rig to site.

Assays from all four diamond drill holes have confirmed spodumene, grading up to 2.79% Li2O, at shallow depths of less than 90m at the central lode area of Torque Metals’ New Dawn lithium-tantalum project in WA’s Goldfields region.

In September the explorer announced plans to buy a collection of gold, nickel and lithium-rich tenements near its Paris gold camp in the Goldfields.

In this episode Barry chats to Cristian Moreno, managing director at Torque Metals (ASX:TOR).

The quality of Torque’s Paris project is on full display after metallurgical test work demonstrated 40% of the gold is amenable to low cost gravity recovery, with overall gold recoveries of 96.7% achieved with low cyanide consumption.

Torque Metals (ASX:TOR) has commenced drilling at the New Dawn lithium project in the Eastern Goldfields of WA.
