Key points

  • The Winsome Resources share price is up 4% in early afternoon trade
  • The ASX lithium share reported another round of high-grade assay results at its Adina lithium project, in Canada
  • Winsome is progressing towards a resource estimate at the project

ASX lithium share Winsome Resources Ltd (ASX: WR1) is marching higher on Tuesday.

Again.

The lithium explorer was up more than 8% in earlier trading and remains up 4% at $2.08 per share, at the time of writing. That puts the Winsome Resources share price up an eye-popping 428% since this time last year.

Here's what's spurring investor interest today.

What did the ASX lithium share report?

The Winsome Resources share price is marching higher after the ASX lithium share announced another round of promising assay results from drilling at its Adina project in Quebec, Canada.

The company highlighted some of the impressive lithium mineralisation results including 1.28% lithium oxide (Li2O) over 93.5 metres from 3.0m, and 1.52% Li2O over 23.9m from 4.6m.

Amongst the exceptionally high-grade zones, one hole returned results of 4.19% Li2O over 4.1m from 73.1m.

Winsome has now received assays from six of the 32 drill holes completed to date. Results from the remaining 26 drill holes are pending. The miner said its expanded exploration program at Adina is well-funded following the capital raising earlier this month.

Commenting on the results sending the ASX lithium share higher today, managing director Chris Evans said:

These results are just as impressive as our initial assays from drill hole AD-22-005 and confirm the high-grade nature of the lithium mineralisation at the Adina Main Zone. They also give us encouragement for the numerous other intersections which are currently being logged, sampled, assayed and interpreted.

Winsome is also progressing towards a resource estimate at Adina.

"We look forward to further results delineating the high-grade zones of lithium mineralisation at Adina as well as building up the geological interpretation with the aim of starting resource estimation work later in the year," Evans said.
