Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM:BHL, OTC:BHLIF, TSX-V:BHLI) said it had received 'exceptional' lithium indications at its San Domingo prospect in Arizona from its latest channel samples programme.
Samples at the Midnight Owl target included a best intercept of 8.40 metres of 1.17% Lithium Oxide (Li2O) plus 623 ppm Cs (Caesium) and 625 Ta2O5 (Tantalum Pentoxide).
A new target, Ruby Soho, was also discovered as part of a follow-up on anomalous soil samples.
Bradda added that with the completion of the next drilling program, there will be sufficient data to develop a 43-101 compliant resource on not only one but several pegmatite bodies.
Ian Stalker, executive chair, commented: “The identification of exceptional lithium values on new and older targets illustrates the ever-present and shallow potential for discovery of lithium mineralization at San Domingo.
“We continue to discover excellent mineralization on the surface around the Midnight Owl prospect and these new channel samples demonstrate that the potential for shallow, open cut mining is possible.
“Furthermore, the highly elevated caesium values constitute a highly strategic opportunity at San Domingo as the element is a distinctly sought after by the DOE and is a critical metal as designated by the USA."
