Global Lithium Resources Gets Drilling Underway at Manna Lithium Project
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Global Lithium Resources (ASX: GL1) is back doing what it does very well with the recommencement of drilling at the company’s Manna lithium project near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
Global Lithium Resources is undertaking a 50,000 metres combined RC and diamond drilling program with the aim to further expand the Manna lithium project resource that currently stands at 36 million tonnes at 1.13 per cent lithium oxide (Li20).
The company anticipates a con-current infill drilling campaign will also lead to considerable resources in the Measured classification to assist with mine planning.
Global lithium expects to update the Manna project Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) after the current drilling campaign is completed and all assay results have been received.
This final resource estimate will be added to the completed DFS program potentially enhancing the projects economics and life of mine.
“I am pleased to see the drill rigs spinning again at the Manna lithium project after completing a significant amount of development and planning work throughout the first half of 2023,” Global Lithium Resources head of geology Stuart Peterson said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“To complete the heritage surveys over the entire mining lease application area is a big step forward for the further development of the project and I am looking forward to seeing how large this resource can grow now we have a clear path for exploration and resource expansion.”
