Liontown Resources Limited (LTRN:AU) is an Australian mineral exploration company with a portfolio of exploration assets including lithium and gold projects in Australia and Tanzania. The Mohanga Project comprises three contiguous tenements covering a total combined area of approximately 177km2 located in central Tanzania approximately 40km NNE of the capital Dodoma and 400km WNW of Dar es Salaam. The Project is in the south eastern part of the Archaean Tanzanian Craton where it comprises a WNW-NW trending sequence of metasediments (quartzite, quartz-feldspar schist and graphitic schist), amphibolite schist and quartz-feldspar gneiss intruded by granite. A number of lithium-bearing pegmatites had been recorded by historic (1962) government mapping and reconnaissance rock chip sampling by Liontown geologists returned significant lithium (>1% Li2O) and tantalum (>0.05% Ta2O5) values. Exploration work by Liontown has identified high-grade spodumene-related lithium and tantalum mineralisation at the Tresor prospect where a mineralised pegmatite zone at least 500m long has been defined.
