Highlights:
- Four HQ core holes have been completed and show comparable results to neighboring properties in what is likely the same geologic unit.
- Hole No. Halo-003-23 intersected a true thickness of 62.2 meters (204 feet) at 994 ppm lithium.
- Hole No. Halo-004-23 intersected 19.8 meters (65 feet) of 1,368 ppm lithium where the hole was lost due to bad drilling conditions. The bottom 7 meters of the holes contained 1,698 ppm Li.

Table 1. Summary of POWR Lithium’s Phase 1 Drilling Campaign.
* Initial results from Hole No. Halo-001-23 were released on
The inaugural work program on the Halo property consisted of four drill holes, ranging from 503.8 to 804.9 feet (153.6 - 245.4m) in depth. The results for Phase 1 are shown above in Table 1 and the hole locations are given Figure 1. The Siebert Formation, which hosts the claystone sequence, thickens to the west toward the center of the Montezuma valley. Drill Hole No. Halo-001-23, shown in Figure 1, was positioned closest to the basin’s current margin and bottomed in lithic tuff with Li values <100ppm Li. Hole Nos. Halo-002 thru -004 are located further west revealing greater sediment thickness and, hence, hole depths, i.e. to 770.8 feet (235m).
Hole No. Halo-004-23, the furthest west hole, was lost in broken ground with the bottom 7 meters containing nearly 1,700 ppm Li. This hole is located about 1.8 km east of the American Battery Technology claim block and 0.9 km south of the American Lithium claim block. Since the hole was unable to enter the lower tuff unit and exit the lithium-bearing claystone, it will need to be re-drilled in 2024.
