Also the geology under the ground is being revealed by drilling and it now gives some strong clues that the the conditions for lithium minerilisation exists in the area IMO.
It is said on anns; "
A foliated hornblende granite with pegmatite stringers throughout was intersected from 32m to the end of the drill hole." (pegmatites are going up inside these granites)
The key here is; foliated granites have a layered or banded appearance that is
produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure which is necessary condition for spodumene cristallisation.
The lithium pegmatites in Pilbara are also in the foliated granites (Greenstones). See the map wıth the ovelied company tenements)

The other key factor is Morabisi is in between two shear zones and greenstones like Pilabara again. That increases the chance of finding lithium bearing pegmatites.
"It has been shown that the majority of pegmatites and pegmatitic granites are concentrated within large shear zones, suggesting that these zones act as pathways for ascending magma" (Kremer, 2005).
The below graphics is from the first Morabisi project anns of GPP. You can see that the Turesi prospect (actually the whole Morabisi batholith is between two main shear zones. There huge gold prospects in this zone as well.

However each pegmatite has its own features and needs to be explored extensively. Therefore GPP will drill and analyse until they have enough information to define the geology and pegmatites. So we need time and more patience to see what is underground.
"... several factors that can influence the emplacement of a pegmatitic body: fluid pressure of the melt, rheological state of the host rocks, lithostatic stress, direct stress, anisotropies, and particularly dilational vectors. These factors can combine and give rise to a variety of pegmatitic bodies, in terms of shapes, sizes and orientations" (Brisbin, 1986).
We may also find tin or REEs (Rare Earth elements) during this exploration because they are also associated with the pegmatites. I would actually prefer both of them over lithium. A good size of tin or REE deposit would be much more valuable than a lithium deposit. (I have extensive research on both of these minerals and I beleive they will be the next big thing in the market) (We don't have the gold rights there, so let's not dream about it)
It is very exciting to see what the time and drilling will bring up.
