Oneiro Energy PLC ( (GB:SWT) ) just unveiled an update.

Switch Metals has reported a new spodumene-bearing pegmatite discovery, named Kabore, at its Issia project in Côte d’Ivoire, with portable LIBS analysis on multiple grab samples indicating lithium oxide grades between 1.00% and 2.58%. The find, located within the Issia pegmatite corridor and close to tantalum-rich anomalies, also yielded coltan samples containing high-tantalum tantalite, underscoring the district’s potential for both lithium and tantalum and enhancing the strategic value of Issia, which lies within trucking distance of San Pedro mineral port used for regional lithium exports; the company plans to accelerate work on this new lithium prospect in parallel with its near-term tantalum resource estimate and broader exploration programme across its Ivorian portfolio.
