United Lithium Corp. is pleased to announce a second rig will begin drilling next week at the Bergby lithium project in Sweden. Doubling the drilling production rate will accelerate the project and enable new target areas to be tested sooner. The Company is seeking to add a third drill to the project, with the capacity to maneuver across rough terrain while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.
“We are pleased with the progress we have made since drilling started last fall, and recognize that the best stage of the mining cycle to compress time is exploration," states the Company’s President and CEO Michael Dehn. “With a large under-explored property with surface showings that are kilometres apart in areas littered with boulders has presented a mobility challenge, but the ingenuity of the Swedish drillers has provided solutions for us."
Drilling is expected to continue through 2022. With two drills on the property, one will continue exploration test and step-out drilling, while the second drill infills and extends mineralization in known lithium-bearing pegmatites.
