Summit Minerals Limited announced that it has commenced flying a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey over the Phillips River Project located near Ravensthorpe, WA. MagSpec is collecting aeromagnetic and radiometric data over similar rocks to Allkem's nearby Mt Cattlin lithium operations. The survey will provide Summit with detailed aeromagnetic data over the Annabelle Volcanics and the Manyutup Tonalite, refining potential for Li, REE, and copper-gold targets and future drilling programs. The program involves flying 50m spaced lines at a flying height of 30m for 1,387 total line kilometres.

The acquisition phase of the survey has already commenced and will take approximately three days to complete. The survey will cover an area measuring about 11km north-south and 6km east-west. Summit anticipates receiving the collected data in mid- February 2023.
