BrightRock Gold Corp. disclosed the report on the interpretation of high-resolution satellite images carried out by Dirt Exploration at approximately 33 feet (10 meters) resolution for its Midnight Owl Project located in the White Picacho Pegmatite District near Wickenburg, Arizona. The Midnight Owl Lithium Project is a lithium pegmatite exploration project.

The project is situated in a favorable location due to its historic mining of lithium, numerous pegmatite dike outcrops, and proximity to three gigafactories, approximately 170 miles away. The project spans an area of 4000 acres, or 196 lode claims, all of which are under complete ownership and interest consolidation. DIRT Exploration, a remote sensing geoscience company headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, completed an analysis using publicly available satellite imagery.

The research combined Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR), Visible Near Infrared (VNIR), Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery into its analysis. LWIR analysis has the ability to map or identify mineral distribution over extensive areas through reflectance spectroscopy. Reflectance signatures captured on the satellite imagery are compared to databases of known mineral reflectance.

The LWIR analysis can view mineral spectra at shallow depths due to its ground-penetrating nature and utilization of the long-wave bands of infrared radiation.
