Standard Lithium (TSX.V: SLI) (NYSE American: SLI) (FRA: S5L), a leading near-commercial lithium company, has started a drilling program at its South West Arkansas Lithium project. The drilling is supporting the upcoming preliminary feasibility study and will be used in relation to the resource definition as well as de-risking the resource estimate; the program will also provide key porosity and permeability data through the entire thickness of the productive zones in the Smackover Formation as well as optimize production-wellfield design. According to the company, the program will include two new locations along with three re-entries of preexisting plugged or abandoned oil and gas wells, which will likely be deepened in order to gather more data. “Since beginning the PFS work at our South West Arkansas Lithium Project last year, the team has been advancing numerous engineering and process studies, while simultaneously completing all the leases and permits required to start the drilling program,” said Standard Lithium president and COO Dr. Andy Robinson. “This systematic drilling program for both new wells and re-entries into pre-existing, plugged and abandoned wells will collect all necessary resource data for the forthcoming PFS as well as the majority of resource data for the subsequent Definitive Feasibility Study. Our ongoing engineering and costing work at phase 1A of our nearby LANXESS Property Project will also help inform the PFS. When complete, the PFS will provide an updated view of project feasibility and economics.”
