CALGARY, AB, June 24, 2022 – E3 Lithium (TSXV:ETMC) (OTCQX:EEMMF)(the “Company” or “E3 Lithium” or “E3“), Alberta’s leading lithium developer and Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology innovator is pleased to announce it has started drilling the first lithium evaluation well in Alberta. The well will be completed in E3’s Clearwater Project area, east of the Town of Olds, Alberta. Drilling operations are expected to be completed by mid-July. Following drilling, a service rig will be moved onsite to commence testing of the formation to verify brine chemistry and flow rates.
The lithium concentrations and production testing help validate E3’s geological model and supports the upgrade of its resource to Indicated and Measured. This work will support commercial development and the basis for the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
“We are very excited about drilling and completing the first well in Alberta specifically targeting lithium,” said Chris Doornbos, CEO of E3 Lithium (TSXV:ETMC) (OTCQX:EEMMF). “We are working with a local Alberta company, CWC Energy Services’ drilling division, Ironhand, using a conventional oil and gas drill rig. This is an example of the benefits of operating in Alberta; having the ability to mobilize local equipment operated by local Albertans.”
