New lithium discoveries at Bradda Head’s San Domingo Project

This is the second of three sets of assays to be released from the company’s 18 950 ft (5776 m) programme, and include very encouraging results across all the target pegmatites.

Results from the San Domingo Central Target Area are highlighted by the following intervals:

• 7.28 m at 1.27% Li2O in hole SD-DH23-069 from 27.43 m depth at White Ridge.
• 5.18 m of 0.88% Li2O in hole SD-DH23-072 at White Ridge.
• 5.06 m @ 0.49% Li2O in hole SD-DH23-083 at Joker.
• 2.17 m @ 0.58% Li2O with 92 ppm Sn at Jumbo.
• 26.52 m @ 0.27% BeO with 4.44 m @ 0.40% BeO and 0.02% Li2O in hole SD-DH23-075 at White Ridge.
• Jumbo drill hole SD-DH23-037encountered 9.54 m @ 1.85% Li2O from 46.24 m, highlighting the high grades and shallow nature of lithium mineralisation in a hole that is 400 m away to the southwest of hole SD-DH23-069.

Ian Stalker, Executive Chairman, commented:

“These results support our view of a near surface potential spodumene lithium resource in the Central section of our San Domingo (SD) property. The results complement and add to the previous reported results in the same area. We have known spodumene mineralisation at both Midnight Owl in the north of our SD property and have now added additional near surface intercepts in the Central section.

“Our team has been working diligently throughout the year to interpret the data, and the arrival of the results in December was something of a Christmas present to ourselves! We are also confident that they will be a springboard to the next programme. We are encouraged by this second phase of exploration drilling, continue to be excited for the future at SD, and look forward to the next and final set of results from this drilling programme.

“It also needs to be noted that the nature of the mineralisation encountered to date is simple and shallow; no deep drilling has been undertaken, although this will be considered at a later stage of our Company’s development. Deeper drilling may indeed reveal less mobilisation of the lithium due to weathering and, as a result, broader zones of mineralisation.

“We continue to ensure, via corporate cost reductions and in the field project work, that we are properly positioned to be ready for the next wave of lithium demand and subsequent commodity price increases.”
