Ultra Lithium Inc revealed that it has so far completed 31 holes for over 3,500 metres (m) of diamond drilling at its Forgan Lake and Georgia Lake Lithium properties in Ontario, Canada.
Updating on progress, the company said the core was being logged and marked, and samples will be shipped for assay over the next month.
At Georgia Lake, nine holes for 1,402m were sunk at the Camp and Trans pegmatite showings.
Seven were aimed at defining the geometry and the grades of the spodumene bearing pegmatite dyke along strike and dip, while two were to explore other pegmatites in the area.
Ultra Lithium said it will embark on a soils sampling program to identify additional pegmatites at Georgia Lake.

Meanwhile, at Forgan Lake, 17 NQ size and five HQ size holes were completed for 2,465m, the company said, adding that the holes had hit lithium pegmatites ranging from 0.5m to 15m.
"It was observed the Forgan Lake pegmatites are wider and more consistent than at Georgia Lake so the company expanded its drilling program at Forgan Lake," it told investors.
The company is now completing a further 400m of larger diameter HQ size drill holes to better define the lithium pegmatites and minimize the nugget effect of large spodumene crystals.
Some of the HQ core will be mixed with bulk surface samples collected for metallurgical testwork, it added.
Ultra Lithium Inc is focused on the acquisition and development of lithium, gold, and copper assets.
It holds a brine lithium property in Argentina, hard rock spodumene type lithium properties at the Georgia Lake / Forgan Lake area in northwestern Ontario, Canada, and a brine lithium property in the Big Smoky Valley, Nevada, USA.
It also holds other gold and base metals properties in Argentina.
