Saby Trend pegmatite corridor
The Adzopé Project is a hard rock lithium exploration project on an 85.32 km² license in southern Côte d’Ivoire, roughly 100 km from the Port of Abidjan and accessible by paved road. It is built around the Saby Trend — a multi-kilometer corridor of spodumene-bearing LCT pegmatites identified in-house by Lithium Africa’s Côte d’Ivoire team through auger drilling, trenching, surface mapping, and pegmatite fractionation studies.
Adzopé is held within the 50/50 Ganfeng JV and forms part of a broader Côte d’Ivoire position — alongside the Agboville and Sikensi permits — advancing Lithium Africa’s disciplined, value-focused exploration model.
Adzopé (85.32 km²), Agboville (399.27 km²) and Sikensi (367.79 km², application in progress), near Abidjan. - 85.32 km² Adzopé license over the multi-kilometer Saby Trend pegmatite corridor.
- 2,000 m reverse-circulation drill program underway; results expected Q3 2026.
- 80-meter Trench 1 contains multiple spodumene-bearing pegmatite bodies, and includes 8.0 m at 1.10% Li₂O, with a peak value of 1.74% Li₂O in weathered saprolite.
- Saby Trend defined in-house via auger drilling, trenching, mapping and pegmatite fractionation studies.
- Current program tests one segment of the trend — wider discovery potential remains along the corridor.
- Held within the 50/50 Ganfeng JV; part of a broader CDI position (Adzopé · Agboville · Sikensi).
The Saby Trend is a >1 km corridor of lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites intruding the basement of the West African Craton. Spodumene occurs in multiple observed pegmatite bodies in weathered saprolite.
Surface trenching has already returned encouraging spodumene grades, with spodumene-bearing pegmatite bodies observed in the 80-meter Trench 1, including 8.0 m at 1.10% Li₂O with a peak of 1.74% Li₂O. A 2,000 m reverse-circulation drill program is now underway, with results expected in Q3 2026. Auger geochemistry maps a coherent lithium-in-soil halo along the corridor, and pegmatite fractionation indicators support spodumene-grade potential along strike and at depth. The current 2,000 m RC program is testing the highest-ranked segment; the wider trend remains open.
Trench 1 (80 m) lithological section — pegmatite veins within saprolite and granite; includes 8.0 m at 1.10% Li₂O. Exploration result, not a Mineral Resource Estimate.
