Global Lithium Resources Limited (ASX: GL1) has sent additional RC drilling rig to its Manna Lithium Project located 100km east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
Experienced contractor K-Drill was commissioned to undertake the infill RC drilling programme, which will complement the ongoing 20,000m drilling programme at Manna which commenced in May and has already returned significant lithium intervals.
K-Drill is a Western Australian-based drilling services company which specialises in RC mineral exploration drilling and other mining services.
The addition of the second RC rig will greatly increase the drilling information available to Global Lithium ahead of the updated Mineral Resource, expected to be announced in December 2022.
The Manna Lithium Project hosts a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource of 9.9Mt @ 1.14% Li2O (100% basis).
The company anticipates a Mineral Resource update to follow the drilling program along with additional metallurgical test work in Q4 2022.
“Drilling at the Manna Lithium Project has now surpassed the amount of historic drilling performed previously,” Global’s Head of Geology, Stuart Peterson, said.
“With the addition of the second RC rig from K-Drill, along with the double shifting Diamond rig, the geological information flow from the Manna Lithium Project is the highest it’s ever been. This will allow the xompany to pull from a large database of drilling information to build the upgraded resource from in December.
“K-Drill is a highly experienced drilling contractor and we are confident they will be a valued addition to the Manna Lithium Project. We look forward to updating the market and shareholders of progress at Manna during drilling and as further results from this program become available.” For further information please visit: https://globallithium.com.au/
