Burley Minerals Limited (ASX: BUR) has announced that following the lifting of machinery restrictions in the Val-d’Or area, it has resumed diamond drilling at the Chubb Lithium Project in the Québec Province of Canada.
Burley Minerals’ managing director and CEO, Stewart McCallion commented: “Burley is thrilled to resume drilling at the Chubb Central following the end of fire-related machinery movement bans, and the reopening of the Val d’Or region to mechanical exploration. Burley had made significant progress prior to the emplacement of the bans at Chubb Central with very encouraging drill results extending the known lithium mineralization.”
Burley’s drilling programme commenced in April 2023, and 14 holes for 2,789m were completed at the Chubb Central Main Dyke prior to nearby wildfires and the implementation of machinery operation bans.
Subsequently, Burley announced assay results for the first seven of the 14 completed drill holes from this programme, confirming strong continuity of spodumene mineralization with significant lithium grades in pegmatite.
“The new drilling intersections continue to build on high-grade spodumene zones identified in mapping and drilling undertaken in 2021 and 2022. We are excited as the team successfully continues to progress this highly prospective project having only completed the acquisition of the Chubb Lithium Project in February this year. The project is strategically located in the Tier 1 lithium province of Québec, Canada.” Stewart added.
