Drilling Permits Application For The Maiden Drill Program On Alkali Flat Lithium Brine Project

VANCOUVER - Lancaster Resources Inc. has submitted applications to the State of New Mexico Energy, Mines, and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to drill up to three wells targeting both shallow and deep conductive layers on its Alkali Flat Lithium Brine Project near Lordsburg, New Mexico.

The targets were identified by Lancaster's geological team following the success of Lancaster's recent MT (Magneto-Telluric) Geophysics program, which highlighted multiple highly conductive subsurface aquifers and zones of interest.

The application to the EMNRD includes the maiden drilling program and a parallel, but separate, application to the BLM covers both drilling access and a subsequent MT geophysics program over the entire claim.

"We are very excited about moving forward with drilling both the shallow and deep targets after our MT Survey showed very clear subsurface zones of interest with high conductivity. The identified targets show clear opportunities for large aquifers containing concentrated lithium brine," said Andrew Watson, VP of Operations and Engineering. "We are expecting our first drill hole to allow us to collect brine samples, along with rock cuttings or core, from targeted intervals, allowing us to determine the concentration of lithium and other minerals."
