(\n \n For Viewfield Drilled Wells and Future Locations Map refer to Figure 1\n \n )\n \n\n The wells will provide critical pressure, flow rate and fluid composition data, which will be used for future engineering studies and reservoir modeling, including a Front-End Engineering Design (\"FEED\") study that is currently underway.\n \n\n Program will build on the highest lithium concentrations recorded in a Canadian brine to-date, up to 237 mg/l at the Viewfield 2-22 well, and is intended to determine brine parameters in the area.\n \n\n\n The initial well is a vertical well (\"8-24\") with drilling anticipated to take approximately one week, and completion and testing of brine concentration and flow rates expected to take an additional three weeks. The second well (\"4-23\") is a one mile horizontal well to confirm pressures, deliverability and depletion of various target reservoir zones for the ongoing FEED study in the project area.\n \n\n \"We're very excited to be resuming drilling operations and about the prospects identified within the program,\" said\n \n Rob Gamley\n \n , CEO of EMP Metals. \"It's a significant step forward in our exploration efforts and understanding the basin. Through drilling a horizontal and vertical well, we aim to garner a better understanding of the lithium potential within our project area, further enhancing our already robust resource and project FEED study. We look forward to reporting as results are known.\"\n \n\n\n ...
