QX Resources Limited has secured a drill rig to commence a maiden 1,500 metre RC drilling programme at its fully-owned Turner River hard rock lithium project, located 15 kilometres south of the Wodgina lithium mine within the Pilbara lithium province, Western Australia.
Drilling will target three areas including the high grade lithium area located in and around the recently reported rock chip samples of 1.6% Li2O, 1.1% Li2O and 4.9% Li2O at the Carbonate Hill prospect at Turner River (E45/6042 & E45/6065). This prospect covers an area measuring 350 metres by 200 metres which now extends under cover.
A Programme of Works (PoW) has been submitted and approved for the drill programme with Topdrill to undertake the works. Two other areas will also be drill tested at Turner River.
Further surface sampling is about to commence together with a detailed geophysical survey which is also being planned.
Technical consultants, Resource have been engaged, led by Dr Jason Myers who has significant experience in the Pilbara lithium region to undertake a comprehensive geophysical database review and oversee the upcoming drill program.
Managing Director Steve Promnitz said: “QXR was fortunate to secure a drill rig for prompt initial testing at Turner over a significant area of lithium mineralisation which we interpret extends undercover.
“Results will be used to plan more detailed works with further surface sampling and detailed geophysics.”
