Bradda Head Lithium Ltd. announced that a drill rig has been mobilised to site to commence immediate drilling at the Company's San Domingo lithium pegmatite project in Arizona. Bradda Head has now mobilised a drill rig to commence drilling this week at its c.13km2 San Domingo pegmatite project in Central Arizona, USA, following receipt of the bond adjudication. This is the first drill programme at this historic pegmatite district since the 1950s.

The permitted programme at San Domingo is for 30 holes, equivalent to approximately 7,000m of diamond core drilling, and is planned to test the thesis that San Domingo is similar in structure to other well-known zoned pegmatites, like Liontown's (Market Capitalisation AUD 2.1 billion) Kathleen Valley pegmatite project in Australia. This drilling programme continues the fieldwork at San Domingo, including mapping, geophysics, surface sampling, and a recent 3D mapping exercise conducted by SRK (results soon to be announced). Channel sample grades previously identified at named pegmatites were as high as 2.49%Li2O.

The 30-hole programme has been planned using a combination of data sources, including the ongoing 3D mapping being conducted by SRK, geophysics carried out by Terravision (See RNS dated 2nd November 2021), locations of historical lithium mining operations, previous channel sampling, and ground truthing by Bradda Head geologists. This programme is one of many that Bradda Head has planned for the remainder of 2022. Permits are also expected shortly from the Company's Basin East Extension claim block which is adjacent to Basin East where Bradda Head has a JORC-compliant resource containing 305kt of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE).

On receipt of the permit Bradda will also move to commence a drilling programme at its Basin project (sedimentary-hosted lithium) at the same time as drilling at the San Domingo pegmatite project.
