About this update from Bradda Head Lithium Limited
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n 21 June 2022\n \n \n \n \n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd\n \n \n \n (\"Bradda Head\", \"Bradda\", \"BHL\" or the \"Company\")\n \n \n \n San Domingo Pegmatite Project Drilling Permit Received\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM:BHL, OTCQB:BHLIF), the North America-focused lithium development group, announces that it has received conditional permission to begin a drilling programme (the \"Programme\") at its San Domingo pegmatite district in Arizona.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Highlights\n \n :\n \n \n ·\n Bradda Head has received permission to commence a 30-hole drilling programme at its San Domingo pegmatite project, pending a bond payment adjudication. Drilling is expected to commence as soon as the bond payment has been received, usually in no more than 30 days.\n \n \n ·\n Bradda's San Domingo pegmatite district was mined at surface previously in the 1940s and 1950s for lithium and other minerals. Claims were initially staked by BHL after grab samples taken by Bradda's geological team back in 2016 demonstrated the presence of lithium in spodumene in grades ranging up to 8% Li2O.\n \n \n ·\n Following on from Bradda's geological teams' fieldwork at San Domingo, including mapping, geophysics, surface sampling, and a recent 3D mapping exercise conducted by SRK (results soon to be announced), Bradda Head designed and has received permission to proceed with an initial 30-hole 7,000m drill programme at its San Domingo pegmatite district in Arizona\n \n \n ·\n Drilling will commence with a diamond drilling contractor that Bradda Head has had locked-in for some time. The drilling market in the US continues to be very tight, and having a committed drilling contractor early on is important.\n \n \n ·\n The 30-hole programme is being planned around the ongoing 3D mapping being conducted by SRK and the geophysics carried out by Terravision (See PR dated 2nd November 2021).\n \n \n ·\n A diamond drill programme will help Bradda investigate further the initial results and the potential for a large, mineralised pegmatite system.\n \n \n ·\n Previous surface sampling at named outcropping pegmatites in the San Domingo claim block returned grades of:\n \n \n o \n Midnight Owl: 1.44% Li2O\n \n \n o \n Joker: 0.35% Li\n \n 2\n \n O,\n \n \n o \n White Ridge: 2.49% Li\n \n 2\n \n O,\n \n \n o \n ...
