flag Chariot Corp. found high-grade lithium in Nigeria, with assays up to 5.96% Li₂O, signaling potential for commercial mining.

flag Chariot Corporation has confirmed high-grade lithium oxide assays up to 5.96% from rock chip sampling at its Fonlo and Iganna lithium projects in southwest Nigeria, indicating the presence of lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatite systems. flag Six samples showed lithium levels between 2.66% and 5.96%, with notable results including 5.96% Li₂O, 0.107% Ta₂O₅, and 1.66% Cs₂O at Iganna, and 5.14% Li₂O with 2.5% Cs₂O—pending re-assay. flag Spodumene and lepidolite were identified as key lithium minerals, supporting long-standing artisanal mining activity. flag The company is advancing a dual strategy: fast-tracking small-scale mechanized mining for early revenue and conducting exploration, including geophysics and a planned 2,000–4,000m diamond drilling program. flag Chariot is acquiring a 66.7% interest in the projects across 254 square kilometers in Oyo and Kwara States, with potential for by-products in tantalum and caesium.
