Accelerate Resources Limited (ASX:AX8) CEO Luke Meter sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the company’s first drilling campaign at the Prinsep Lithium Project near Karratha in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. Drilling follows surface sampling indicating lithium mineralisation up to 1.68% Li2O. The maiden program will involve 48 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 3,500 metres, targeting pegmatite discoveries over a 1,500-metre strike and widths up to 60 metres. The drilling is expected to be completed by the end of June, with samples sent in batches for assaying, which will have a turnaround time of about six weeks. According to Meter, this marks a significant milestone for the company as it targets lithium mineralisation down dip of outcropping mineralisation and new pegmatite sets hidden by cover.

Lightning Minerals Ltd (ASX:L1M) has kicked off a 7,500-metre aircore drilling campaign at the E63/2000 tenement in the Dundas region of Western Australia, targeting multiple sample areas that returned greater than 100 parts per million (ppm) #lithium. The company will focus drilling on identified lithium, rubidium and caesium soil anomalies that graded up to 218 ppm lithium, trending northwest to southeast over a 2.6-kilometre by 1-kilometre area within the tenement. Encouragingly, the tenement sits just 8 kilometres east of Liontown Resources’ Buldania project, which already holds a mineral resource estimate of 14.9 million tonnes at 1% lithium oxide.

A first-of-its-kind frac sand logistics solution set to debut in the Permian Basin later this year may help transform the way proppant is delivered to support hydraulic fracturing operations there. If it works as advertised, it will represent another advance in the streamlining of oil and gas production in the U.S.’s most prolific shale play. In today’s RBN blog, we‘ll explore how Atlas Energy Solutions aims to mechanize the delivery of sand to crude-oil-focused well sites in the Permian. https://lnkd.in/gg4f5CES

A growing list of E&Ps are exploring and delineating drilling locations in the Permian Basin's deeper benches, like the Barnett Shale, Woodford and Wolfcamp D plays. Experts think there are specific parts of the basin where these deep zones can compete for capital.

Exciting news - yes. I have to add, that we all need to have confidence in the EU-driven process supported by the Norwegian Government, to establish a true growing industry around these critical minerals AND the critical products they enable the production of - making the world trade within these critical components more balanced and less prone to be used as geopolitical means of trade-pressure. We, at REE Minerals, certainly have the ambition to do our part - but we can not do it alone. #rareearthminerals #permanentmagnets #CRMA #supreemopartner

Worth a repost. Apparently more effective completion technology is resulting in higher production rates in new and older established basins for resource plays. It would be enlightening to see these data using normalized completion data - EURs; which should highlight basins (or better yet areas within basins) with better rock.

CNX Resources, headquartered in Pittsburgh, is the latest major Marcellus/Utica driller to announce a pullback in spending and production due to low-low prices that natural gas is fetching. Yesterday, CNX announced the company will “delay completions activities on three upcoming Marcellus Shale pads consisting of 11 wells to avoid bringing incremental volumes into the current oversupplied market.” The delay means CNX will spend $50 million less on drilling in 2024 and produce 30 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) less over the course of this year.

via Kalkine Media Australia Black Canyon Limited has identified considerable upside potential at the Balfour #Manganese Field (BMF) with the completion of two JORC 2012 Exploration Target Estimates (ETE) for the Pickering and Balfour East Targets. These targets can be evaluated and potentially upgraded to mineral resources with additional infill and exploration #drilling. The ETE across the BMF is in addition to the Global Mineral Resources totalling 314 Mt at 10.5% manganese containing 33.1 Mt of Mn at a cut-off of 7% Mn. Balfour East’s ETE expands on Balfour East’s Inferred MRE totalling 32 Mt @ 11.9% Mn. Learn more: https://loom.ly/xA6pQXc #BCA #BlackCanyon #ASX

Battery Age Minerals (ASX: BM8) is pleased to advise that drilling activities have re-commenced at its Falcon Lake Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada. Key highlights: 🔹Drilling program will aim to expand on the successful 2023 drilling programs, which returned significant high-grade intercepts including: • 31.75 metres @ 1.45% Li2O (23FL-031) • 27.6 metres @ 1.37% Li2O (23FL-001) • 21.9 metres @ 1.44% Li2O (23FL-004) • 20.65 metres @ 1.48% Li2O (23FL-081) • 18.95 metres @ 1.65% Li2O (23FL-076) 🔹Drill targets have been prioritised across the 5km mineralised corridor at the Falcon Lake Lithium Project, with the program designed to unlock the broader potential of the asset. 🔹Drilling will be undertaken by the Rodren Drilling – Whitesand First Nation JV, a joint venture between BM8’s incumbent drilling contractor and the local First Nation group.
