Critical Resources (CRR) has launched its 2023 drilling campaign at the Mavis Lake lithium project in Ontario, Canada.

The company has set its sights on completing at least 20,000 metres of diamond core drilling to build on last year’s program, which involved 19,878 metres of drilling at the project.

“Following the success of the 2022 drilling program and the exceptional results we have delivered from Mavis Lake, including some of the highest grading assay results released in 2022, it is exciting to have commenced another significant drilling campaign in 2023,” Managing Director Alex Cheeseman said.

Initially, the program will focus on expanding the down-dip extension of multiple spodumene-bearing pegmatite stacks within the Mavis Lake Main Zone, along with a lower pegmatite stack which was identified late last year.

The drill program currently has two diamond rigs ready to spin on site, with the first to be focused on extension drilling of the Main Zone after arriving on Tuesday.

The second drill rig, which arrived on Monday, is scheduled to begin drilling within the next two days and will test known outcroppings of lithium-bearing pegmatite across the property.

“Our actions and efforts to invest in large-scale drilling, reflects our focus and commitment to advancing the Mavis Lake lithium project,” Alex Cheeseman said.

The company is still awaiting program assays from core of 29 drill holes drilled last year.

Critical Resources last traded at 4.6 cents on January 11.
