Bradda Head Holdings Ltd. announced that it has received permission to drill on part of its Wikieup Project in Arizona, USA. Drilling is expected to commence in early fourth quarter 2021. Bradda Head has already commenced drilling at its Burro Creek East asset, and this programme at Wikieup plans to add further resources to the Company's existing JORC-compliant Inferred Mineral Resource at Burro Creek East. Bradda Head has received permission from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to commence a 10-hole drilling program at Section 12 on the Company's Wikieup Project in Western Arizona, pending the lodging of the reclamation bond totalling c.USD 16,000, which is currently in progress. As the programme is being drilled in clay, Bradda Head may use sonic drilling, which uses far less water than conventional drilling techniques and also produces less waste. A further benefit of sonic drilling is very good core recovery, which makes resource estimates more accurate. Geologically, the Wikieup Project area is almost entirely covered by alluvium on top of an underlying deposit of favourable lithium-rich clay. As shown on the map (link above), the areas of clay exposure in Section 12 show lithium values at surface ranging up to 1,130ppm. The area has good road access, being located in close proximity to Highway 93, and the planned drilling activity of this initial programme will have a minimal impact on the environment due to the Company using a NOI permit, which allows Bradda Head to get drilling quickly, has a minimal environmental impact and tests areas first before committing to larger programmes. The 10-hole drilling programme should provide sufficient data for an inferred resource due to the deposit style. It is expected a resource estimate at Wikieup will be issued in First Quarter 2022. Along with a resource estimate, Bradda Head will be conducting metallurgical testing on core recovered. Bradda Head has also recently doubled its landholding position (from 23km2 to 47km2) on the Burro Creek-Wikieup lithium district (PR 29/07/2021) and already has a JORC-compliant resource of 42.6 Mt of lithium bearing clays at an average grade of 818 ppm of lithium for 185kt of LCE at its Burro Creek East project. This permission to drill at the Company's Wikieup Project will enable Bradda Head to increase the size of its resource base and add optionality for multiple deposits across the Burro Creek-Wikieup district, increasing the size and scale potential of any future open pit mine on the Burro Creek-Wikieup trend.
