Bradda Head Lithium Limited (AIM:BHL, OTCQB:BHLIF, TSX-V:BHLI) said new assays from San Domingo, Arizona, support its view that the Central area is a near-surface potential spodumene lithium resource.
New shallow lithium mineralised intercepts were encountered at the Central target area, with 90% of significant intercepts at less than 100 metres (m) depth, said the statement.
Best assay results were pegmatites at White Ridge hosting 7.28m of 1.27% Li2O, starting at 27.43m, in one drill hole and 5.18m of 0.88% Li2O at 23.77m in another.
Ian Stalker, executive chairman, commented: ”The results complement and add to the previous reported results in the same area.
“We have known spodumene mineralisation at both Midnight Owl in the north of our SD property and have now added additional near-surface intercepts in the Central section.
"We are also confident that they will be a springboard to the next programme.
“Deeper drilling may indeed reveal less mobilisation of the lithium due to weathering and, as a result, broader zones of mineralisation.”
