Arcadia Lithium Project
The Arcadia Lithium Project represents Prospect’s flagship Project. Since acquiring the project in mid 2016, Prospect has completed an aggressive drilling and evaluation program that culminated in declaration of several JORC 2012 Compliant Mineral Resource estimates, with the most recent being on 31 July 2017. Prospect now has over 14km2 of granted Mining Claims over the Arcadia Pegmatite swarm that has an identified strike of 4.5km, making it the largest code compliant hard rock lithium deposit in Africa.
Following completion of a Scoping Study in late 2016, Prospect completed its Pre Feasibility Study in June 2017 that included declaration of Maiden Ore Reserves.
