Burley Minerals (BUR) has kicked off drilling at its Chubb lithium project in Quebec, Canada.
Around 5000 metres of diamond core drilling has been planned in the company’s maiden program to confirm and test lithium-bearing mineralisation in the central part of the project.
Burley said the project hosts an established 560-metre strike length of mineralisation which is open in all directions and at depth.
It is hoped the samples from this round of work will confirm historical geological data and further enhance the company’s databases and resource model for the central region of the deposit.
The company recently concluded the acquisition of the Chubb project and Managing Director Wayne Richards said Burley is excited to begin drilling.
“The drilling program is designed to confirm, expand and extend spodumene lithium mineralisation, confirmed over the last two years of initial diamond core drilling.
“With recent exploration success in Quebec by fellow ASX- listed lithium exploration and development companies… and the finalisation of commissioning at the Northern American Lithium project located 10 kilometres directly north-west of the Chubb project tenements, we look forward to progressing this drilling campaign,” he said.
Burley has secured metallurgical test work, core-cutting and analyses contracts which are awaiting receipt of the core samples.
BUR shares were down 4.1 per cent and trading at 23 cents at 12:36 pm AEST.
