About this update from Bradda Head Lithium Limited
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n RNS Number : 3385T\n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd\n 24 November 2021\n \n \n \n 24 November 2021\n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd\n (\"Bradda Head\", \"Bradda\", or the \"Company\")\n Thickest Upper Clay Zone Identified so far from Bradda Head's Exploration Programme\n \n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM: BHL), the North America-focused lithium development group, is pleased to announce assay results from the next three holes at its 100%-owned Burro Creek East Project (\"BCE\") and the remaining portion of the last twinned hole BCE21-02 (RNS 25/08/2021), which emphasise the opportunity for resource growth at this target site.\n \n \n Highlights:\n \n · Bradda Head has now received assays from the first three new holes from its 10-hole 2021 Burro Creek East (BCE) core drilling programme, with thicker intersections of Upper Clay identified than anticipated, including a high-grade section of 21.1m at 1,506ppm at hole BCE21-06, where the total Upper Clay zone is 98.6m thick.\n \n · The thickest section of the Upper Clay zone previously intersected at BCE is 68.6m. The presence of this significantly thicker zone (98.6m), further south than previously thought, may lead to a larger resource increase in the higher-grade portion of the Upper Clay zone than originally estimated.\n \n · Combining these new drill results with the recent geophysical data (RNS 29/10/2021) will enable our geologists to understand with much greater clarity the structure and depth of the clay across our entire Burro Creek Project and will help with the planning and targeting of future drill programmes.\n \n · The work done to date at Burro Creek indicates that the Upper Clay zone, which is higher grade than the Lower Clay zone, thickens to the west and north-west, towards Bradda's other claims at Burro Creek. This may enable Bradda to focus on the Upper Clay zone and delineate a higher-grade resource than previously thought.\n \n · Assay results from the remaining portion of the twinned hole (BCE21-02) in the Lower Clay zone at Burro Creek East have also been received. Previously unknown, but anticipated, lithium mineralisation was discovered there, which again highlights that there is significant potential for an increase in the lithium mineral resource as a consequence. The Lower Clay zone was not tested previously at this location in 2018. (See m...
