Atlantic Lithium, the funded African-focussed lithium exploration and development company targeting to deliver Ghana’s first lithium mine, has announced initial assay results from the resource and exploration drilling programme recently commenced at the Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana, West Africa.
Commenting on the company’s latest progress, Neil Herbert, Executive Chairman of Atlantic Lithium, said:
“We are pleased to kick off the 2023 drilling season with our first set of infill drilling assay results. These include some significant apparent widths and grades from relatively shallow depths.
“Results are from the Ewoyaa South-2 deposit where we are infill drilling to convert Inferred to Indicated category resources to provide optionality for future mine scheduling to more easily enable the relocation of the overhead powerlines.
“Initial infill results at the Ewoyaa South-2 deposit are encouraging and show good continuity of mineralization between drill sections.
“A total of 18,500 m of infill, extensional and exploration RC drilling has been planned for the 2023 season. We look forward to updating shareholders as results become available.
“We also await approval of the consolidation of the licence covering the proposed mine and processing plant site, which was undertaken to facilitate a smoother approvals process and simplified operational structure, as advised by Ghana’s Minerals Commission Technical Committee.
“Atlantic Lithium expects no further major amendments to the application, so believes that the Mining Lease will be granted for the Project in the coming months. “Meanwhile, the study team is working hard to deliver the DFS by the end of Q2 2023.”
