Global Lithium Resources Limited announced that the resource expansion drilling program is progressing well at the now 100% owned Manna Lithium Project, located 100km east of Kalgoorlie. The RC rigs have completed 23,670 metres of drilling to date and are continuing to systematically drill out the Manna Deposit and collect sample data that will be used for the upgraded resource due in December. The second RC rig is specifically tasked to complete the infill drilling to allow a larger percentage of the deposit to be classified as indicated, a higher confidence category required for the upcoming feasibility studies.

The DD campaign has completed its program of collecting sufficient core samples for a full metallurgical test program. The core is being fast tracked through processing and assay to be available for sample selection and metallurgical testing beginning early 2023. An expanded exploration program is underway to map out the larger tenement area since acquiring 100% of the Manna Lithium Project.

This program will target prospective geological structures and host rocks for lithium deposits and follow known structural extensions of the current Manna deposit that previously lay outside the JV boundary. Up to 30,000 metres of RC and Diamond drilling is planned for this program.
