what happened
Savannah Resources has reported that it finished the planned geotechnical and hydrogeological investigation at the Eastern Block of its Barroso lithium project in Portugal, according to Completion of Geotechnical Works. The programme ran for about five months and included 276 investigation points, among them 189 test pits.
The work also covered 32 boreholes for piezometers, which will track groundwater levels, and 30 geotechnical boreholes. Around 30 external personnel and more than 40 of the company's employees took part. The company estimates that more than €500,000 was spent on direct services in the local economy.
CEO Emanuel Proença said the next steps include the RECAPE submission, expected next week, and FEED work with Sedgman.
why it matters
The company describes the project as Europe's largest spodumene lithium deposit and a Strategic Project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. For investors, this is mainly an operational milestone on the way to construction rather than news likely to shift the wider lithium market.
