About this update from Bradda Head Lithium Limited
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n RNS Number : 5956S\n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd\n 17 November 2021\n \n \n \n 17 November 2021\n \n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd.\n (\"Bradda Head\", \"Bradda\", or the \"Company\")\n Completion Of Burro Creek East Drilling Programme\n \n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd. (AIM: BHL), the North America-focused lithium development group, is pleased to announce that it has completed its core drilling programme at its Burro Creek East asset in Arizona.\n \n \n Highlights:\n \n \n · The first of Bradda's fast-track drilling programmes at its 47km2 of sedimentary claims has been completed, all remaining core has now been logged, delivered to ALS in Tucson, and will shortly be assayed.\n \n · Bradda has drilled 10 holes (7 new locations and 3 twinned) for a total of 1,145m metres. Originally 5 twinned holes were planned, but the Company decided to focus on resource expansion after receiving positive assays from the first three twinned holes. The 7 new holes have allowed us to test more of the unknown areas of the asset and, combined with our recent geophysical data, have enabled our geologists to increase the knowledge of the deposit significantly.\n \n · Assay results received so far from the 3 twinned holes on this project (RNS 27/9/2021) have confirmed the 2018 programme's results and have indicated the presence of expected but previously unknown mineralised material in the Lower Clay zone as well as expanded Upper Clay zone material at the Burro Creek East asset.\n \n · Recent geophysical work at the Burro Creek East asset has added to Bradda's geological model and will be included in the updated resource calculation (due Q1 2022) which is expected to be a significantly larger than the current 185kt LCE JORC inferred resource.\n \n · Assay turnaround times have been slow in returning due to the very high volume of exploration in the US.\n \n Bradda Head Lithium announces the completion of its exploration drilling programme at its Burro Creek East asset in western Arizona. The programme has taken longer than anticipated due to mechanical rig issues, change of contractor, adverse weather, and occasional tough drilling conditions. Bradda has engaged Boart Longyear for its upcoming drilling programme at Wikieup, where it will use sonic drilling technology, which is the first choice for drilling in sedimen...
