Iconic Minerals Ltd. announced the company has initiated environmental permitting of an expanded drilling program at the Bonnie Claire Project located in southern Nevada. The expanded permit will allow drilling of a 450-600 meter (1,500-2,000 foot) deep hole to sample lithium bearing sediments. Using this deep target drill hole, including the two deep target holes previously drilled on the Property, approximately 2.4 kilometers (1.5 miles) apart, will allow Iconic to produce a NI 43- 101 compliant resource estimate on the lithium-rich sediments of the basin. It will also provide additional bulk samples for further metallurgical testing through St- Georges Eco Mining (SX) independent labs to test the commercial viability of SX's technology for recovery of lithium and additional by-products on the Property. Further testing through SX's test program initiative will be incorporated into a Preliminary Economic Assessment report. In addition to the planned deep drill hole, several shallow (less than 100 meters or 325 feet) drill holes are planned to test shallow lithium brine targets.
