Anson Resources Limited (Anson) has successfully extracted brine from Clastic Zone 31 during the re-entry drilling of the Gold Bar Unit 2 well at its Paradox Lithium Project, located in the "Lithium Four Corners" area in Utah. Three cement plugs, which sealed Gold Bar Unit 2 well following historical oil drilling, were drilled out to reach the target Clastic Zones. Sampling involves sealing the well casing below the target zone to prevent fluids mixing with the targeted brines to be extracted from the Clastic Zones before perforating the well casing for the target Clastic Zone to extract samples. This is repeated for each Clastic Zone being sampled on the way up the well casing. The removal of the plugs took longer than expected causing a small delay to the planned timeline, however, Anson has now successfully collected samples from the primary target, Clastic Zone 31. Clastic Zones 19 and 29 are being targeted because historical drilling has reported intersecting supersaturated brines in these intervals, and the current drilling program provides an opportunity to sample these zones. SRK's experienced technical team have been engaged in lithium-potassium brine projects in USA, Australia, Chile and Argentina since 2008. Following completion of the sampling program, the samples will be sent to a certified laboratory in Nevada for assaying. Results are expected 10 to 14 days later, with the expected reporting of results being in the second half of February 2018. A bulk sample has also collected from Clastic Zone 31. This sample will be processed in a bench top plant to validate earlier test work on a synthetic brine which showed that lithium carbonate and other products were expected to be able to be produced from the brine. Production of first lithium carbonate from the bench top plant is expected in April 2018. The results of the bench-top processing will be used in the design of an in-field pilot plant, to further validate that lithium and other minerals can be extracted from the brine.
