In a groundbreaking move, Charger Metals NL (ASX: CHR) has entered into a binding farm-in agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd (RTX), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Limited (ASX: RIO), for the Lake Johnston Lithium Project. Concurrently, Charger has also reached an agreement with Lithium Australia Limited (ASX: LIT) to acquire their minority interest in the project.

the first 12 months. This bold move by RTX demonstrates the company's confidence in the project's potential. In return, RTX has the opportunity to earn a 51% interest by solely funding $10 million in exploration expenditure and paying Charger a minimum of $1.5 million in cash. If they choose to further invest, RTX could secure a 75% interest by solely funding $40 million in exploration expenditure or completing a Definitive Feasibility Study.
The Significance of the Lake Johnston Lithium Project
The farm-in agreement solidifies the prospectivity of the Lake Johnston Lithium Project and underscores its potential to host a large-scale lithium deposit. Charger's Managing Director, Aidan Platel, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "The planned significant investment by RTX will allow thorough systematic exploration over all of the project tenure, with initial exploration focused on fast-tracking the Medcalf Spodumene Prospect as well as progressing the Mt Day and Mt Gordon lithium prospects."
Potential for a Prominent Lithium Province
Charger's Chairman, Adrian Griffin, highlights the transformative potential of the Lake Johnston Lithium Project, stating, "The largely unexplored Lake Johnston Greenstone belt now hosts multiple spodumene discoveries and with the recent focus and increasing exploration activity could evolve into a prominent lithium province." The agreement with RTX positions the project for extensive exploration and development, laying the foundation for potential future success.
The signing of this farm-in agreement between Charger Metals and Rio Tinto Exploration paves the way for exciting developments in the Lake Johnston Lithium Project. With Charger's acquisition of a 100% beneficial ownership and RTX's substantial investment, the project's potential is being fully realized. As exploration efforts intensify in the largely unexplored Lake Johnston Greenstone belt, the dream of a prominent lithium province may become a reality. The future is bright for the Lake Johnston Lithium Project, and industry stakeholders eagerly anticipate the results of this groundbreaking partnership.

rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.
