Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN) is making progress with its application for a re-entry program at the Sunburst #1 and Mineral Canyon Fed 1-3 wells within the company’s flagship Paradox Brine Project in Utah, USA.
The company recently hosted a site visit by representatives of the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
This visit is a key step in the process of consideration of the Plan of Operations to drill with a goal of increasing and upgrading the JORC resource at the Paradox Project.
Proposed re-entry programs
Anson has applied to re-enter these wells to test the grades of lithium, bromine, boron and iodine contained in the Paradox Formation.
A revised plan was submitted to the BLM in April 2021 to extend the sampling program to enable testing of the deeper Leadville Formation, which ranges in thickness from 60 to 250 metres, for lithium, bromine and other minerals.
Discussions between the BLM and Anson representatives during the site visit were focused on the resources present, the resource determinations and surface management of the proposed re-entry programs.
If successful, the program will result in the conversion of a large area of the inferred resource to an indicated resource surrounding the two wells.
