Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN) has kicked off an earthworks program ahead of an all-important drilling campaign at its Paradox Lithium Project in Utah.
The explorer has boots on the ground at the Mineral Canyon and Sunburst wells — assets that will go under the magnifying glass in Anson’s expansion-focused western strategy drill program.
As it turns the soil, Anson hopes to sample thick Mississippian units and Pennsylvanian clastic horizons to support a mineral resource update, boosting the 1.04 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent and 5.27 million tonnes of bromine on site.
Rounding out its expansion strategy, the explorer also plans to get the drill bit spinning at the Green River Lithium Project, 50 kilometres to Paradox’s north-west.
Examining ESG impact
Anson has designed its western strategy drill program to have as little impact as possible on environmental, social and recreational activities in the region.
For example, the campaign will use existing drill pads, meaning work will cause minimal new ground disturbance — part of Anson’s strategy to develop a sustainable project that minimises environmental impact.
Government officials and members of the Anson team have visited both paradox well sites, confirming that the drill pads required for re-entry can be brought back online.
What’s more, the Sunburst well shoulders critical road infrastructure, while the Mineral Canyon well also has easy access, located next to a graded county road.
