Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSXV: IXI) has unveiled exploration plans for its Alberta-based lithium brine projects for 2023.
The exploration programme which will initially focus on the Fox Creek and Leduc projects, will include well sampling and aquifer modelling, and result in the tabling of two National Instrument NI 43-101 resource estimates by fall and the commencement of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for each project before the end of the year.
These projects are located adjacent to active exploration and development work being undertaken by Lithium Bank and E3 Lithium.
The company also plans to evaluate and test various direct lithium extraction (DLE) options, utilizing actual brines collected from the sampling program, under the supervision of its metallurgical advisors Dr David Dreisinger, P.Eng. and Dr Gary Kordosky.
“Having only recently accumulated our strategic land position late last year, we are excited to fast-track the development of these highly prospective projects this year,” CEO, Paul Cowley, said.
“Our projects are located in the heart of the most prospective areas for lithium brine development in central Alberta and are surrounded by claims being actively explored and developed by the most advanced companies in the space.
“What makes petro-lithium brine projects unique is the extensive amount of government data available through decades of oil and gas production, which not only significantly reduces geologic risk, but also allows for the ability to advance the project quickly through to a maiden resource and economic evaluation on a much shorter timeline and at significantly lower cost than conventional hard rock or evaporative brine projects.”
