Anson Completes Resource Definition Drilling at Long Canyon No.2
Confirms High Pressures in the Targeted Mississippian Unit
Anson Resources Limited (Anson or the Company) is pleased to announce consistent high pressures within the targeted, priority Mississippian Unit (Leadville and Madison Formations) in its recently completed Resource definition-focused drilling at the Long Canyon No. 2 well, at the Company’s Paradox Lithium Project (“the Project”) in Utah, USA.
Highlights:
- Anson has completed the latest phase of its Resource expansion drilling campaign, at the Long Canyon No. 2 well at the Paradox Lithium Project
- Drilling into the targeted Mississippian Unit has successfully confirmed consistent high-pressures
- 3,785psi recorded at the Long Canyon Unit 2 well
- The high pressure, porosity and permeability is expected to deliver continual flow at the extraction well location over the proposed life of mine at Paradox
- Similar high-pressure results recorded in the Mississippian Unit, in a radius of up to 10 km from Long Canyon No. 2
- Drilling has now progressed to the high-priority Cane Creek 32-1 well
- Anson’s drilling campaign aims to convert the Project’s existing Exploration Target into an Indicated and Inferred Resource
Anson has completed the latest phase of its ongoing Resource expansion drilling program, at the Long Canyon No. 2 well, recording a pressure of 3,785psi. Drilling successfully targeted the large Mississippian supersaturated brine aquifer which hosts a substantial lithium-rich zone of ~70m- 250m thickness. Drilling aims to convert the existing Exploration Target into an Indicated and Inferred Resource (see ASX Announcement 17 January 2022).
The consistently high pressures delivered from the Mississippian Unit in the Long Canyon drilling correlates with historically recorded high pressures across the project area and represents a highly positive outcome from this phase of drilling, which is of significant importance.
These results, combined with Drill Stem Tests (DST) data from historic wells within the project area, indicate that the Mississippian strata has a high permeability across a large area.
The combination of permeability, high pressure as well as porosity is expected to;
- Deliver continual strong flow at the extraction well location, over the life-of-mine of any future lithium producing operation; and
- Indicates that the pressure will remain constant over the life of a proposed future lithium project.
Executive Chairman and CEO, Bruce Richardson commented:
“Our drilling at Long Canyon No. 2 has established that the pressures in both the Paradox and the deeper Mississippian Unit (see Figure 1) are very high. This is expected to allow the brine to flow from an area with a radius of 10km and is why the Company is confident that the pressure will not drop or the flow will slow down over distance and time, as is known to occur with oil wells.”
The first brine samples from the Long Canyon Unit 2 well from the Mississippian Unit (see ASX Announcement 2 June 2022) and Clastic Zones 33, 29,19 and 17 have been sent to certified laboratories to assay for lithium, bromine and other minerals.
The Company’s resource expansion drilling program has now progressed to high-priority Cane Creek 32-1 well, where drilling aims to convert a large portion of the Paradox Exploration Target into Indicated and Inferred Resources.

Commentary - High-Pressure and Permeability at Shallower Depth
The Mississippian Unit consist of layers of limestone and dolomite. These units have been altered by hydrothermal events which have enhanced the reservoir potential. These events have increased the porosity by:
- Leaching
- Developing microporosity
- Fracturing
These rock units form an excellent reservoir for supersaturated brines. When brine is removed at the extraction point, salt will flow into the voids (from where the brine has been removed), throughout the period of production. This will help maintain high reservoir pressure and assist in a high ultimate recovery of brine.
Anson’s research has confirmed that the pressure in the Mississippian Unit extends for more than 10km from the Long Canyon No. 2 well and will take many years to exhaust when extraction begins.
Drill stem test data on the historical wells show that consistent higher pressures (see Table 1) with high porosities and permeabilities of the Mississippian Unit will result in the recovery of brine from this Unit.
Table 1: Table showing the depths and pressures of the Mississippian Units in or near the Project area (*finished in the Mississippian Unit).
Anson is in a unique, and ideal, location for brine extraction at the intersection of Robert’s Rupture and the Cane Creek Anticline (raised area, at the Paradox Project). Robert’s Rupture provides vertical porosity, and the Cane Creek Anticline provides a shallower depth to the target extraction horizon.
These factors, high pressure and shallower depth are key attributes of the Paradox Lithium Project area and are not present anywhere else in the area. In combination, they provide strong indicators of low extraction costs and beneficial ESG outcomes.

Anson Resources: Developing a Near-Term Clean Energy Project in Utah
Anson Resources (ASX:ASN) focuses on the resources necessary to meet the energy demands of the future. The company’s flagship project, the Paradox Lithium Project, has the potential to become a world-class lithium producer and is located near Tesla’s massively productive gigafactory in the United States. Additional projects target nickel, copper, and uranium.
The company's flagship Paradox Project is located in Utah, a mining-friendly and politically stable jurisdiction. The asset holds significant lithium brine deposits, and the company has identified an extraction method that has delivered an extraction rate of 91.5 percent. This technique calls for passing the lithium through the resin, which captures the resin, and can then be separated from the resin with water. From that state, it can be processed into lithium carbonate. The company is currently undertaking a major JORC resource expansion drilling program, the results of which will feed into a Detailed Feasibility Study being carried out by global engineering firm, Worley.
Company Highlights
- Anson Resources is focused on developing its flagship project, the Paradox Lithium Project, into a significant lithium producing operation.
- The company is currently undertaking a major JORC Resource expansion program at Paradox, which will form part of a Detailed Feasibility Study which is being undertaken by leading global engineering consultants, Worley.
- The Paradox Project contains multiple lithium brine targets, and the company has identified an extraction method that produces an impressive return rate of 91.5 percent. Also, the project’s Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) method is expected to deliver significant ESG benefits
- In addition, the project’s brine also contains bromine, creating a valuable second potential revenue stream for the asset.
- Anson Resources’ other projects target nickel, copper, vanadium and uranium. The company aims to supply energy markets with the mineral resources necessary to power the future.
- The company has an experienced management team with a mix of technical, corporate and commercial skills driving the project towards its ambitious goals.
This Anson Resources company profile is part of a paid investor education campaign.*

Can Mining Finally Go Millennial? Experts Talk Strategies for Attracting Young Investors
One of the largest intergenerational wealth transfers in history is coming in the next two decades, with an estimated US$84 trillion globally expected to be passed down from Baby Boomers to Millennials.
Compared to their older counterparts, Millennials and Gen Z have a higher risk tolerance, as is reflected in their love of tech stocks and cryptocurrencies. Millennials and Gen Z are also keen on aligning their investments with their values when it comes to the environment and sustainability — a fact that can make them uneasy about mining stocks.
Overcoming these negative sentiments is essential if the mining industry is to position itself to capture that US$84 trillion wealth transfer. But how? That was the main question posed at one panel at this year’s Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, which the Investing News Network had the opportunity to attend.
Led by Anthony Vaccaro, president of the Northern Miner Group, the panelists were Matthew Geiger, managing partner at MJG Capital Fund; Luc ten Have, founder of GoldDiscovery.com; and Nicholas Tartaglia and Dan Kozel, co-founders of NewGen Mindset. Here's what they had to say about getting Millennials interested in the mining sector.
Young investors wary of mining stocks
In addition to the sustainability challenges associated with mining, the industry's volatility over the past decade hasn’t helped younger investors' perception of resource sector stocks.
Geiger said in recent years the mining sector has experienced short periods of “nirvana” for precious metals, battery metals and, more recently, uranium. “But as a whole, there’s been a lot of money lost in the sector, and a lot of value destruction in the past 12 years,” he said, acknowledging that given those circumstances it's unrealistic to expect young investors to be excited about the space. “These are reactionary investors, they are not contrarian at the end of the day,” Geiger added. “But the industry can still prepare for the influx and not give up on this generation of investors.”
Appealing to Bitcoin investors
Kozel advised precious metals companies to look at how successful Bitcoin companies have been in attracting young investors. “There is a common theme here at play. And that common theme is the fact that if you own gold and silver, you probably don't trust the fiat system,” he explained. “And guess what? Those same investors are buying Bitcoin for that exact reason.” Kozel added that he owns both Bitcoin and precious metals.
Crypto-mining technology itself involves a large amount of energy and metals, which Kozel said the mining industry can use to further connect with this young investor class.
Social media engagement
What else should the mining industry to do win over Millennial and Gen Z investors?
The consensus among the panelists was that mining companies should establish a stronger social media presence and take advantage of platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter).
“Gen Z isn't coming to these conferences,” said ten Have. “The only way for them to get introduced is through those social media channels. I think the only way to reach them is through a coordinated social media campaign.”
Geiger agreed, saying it's inexcusable to not be on social media today. "It's not hard to do content at least on a weekly basis,” he said, recommending that companies tweet news releases with additional context, or share educational videos about the metal they are focusing on or the jurisdiction they are operating in.
Kozel spoke about the need for clearly communicated information about complex topics like 43-101 reports and drill results, sharing his experience as a young investor who had to learn about these topics. He sees an opportunity for companies that can take that information and simplify it for Millennial and Gen Z investors.
His NewGen Mindset co-founder Tartaglia said one of the problems is that there is very little information on mining in school and in the media. “There’s really a gap in the marketplace to inform and educate the next generation,” he noted.
Tartaglia also said that to learn more about mining companies he typically visits YouTube to see management interviews. With that in mind, he suggested field vlogs as a way for companies to highlight their value proposition.
“The younger generation wants a story,” he emphasized.

Highly Encouraging REE & Gallium Results at Larins Lane Project only ~25% of Samples Assayed to Date
Terrain Minerals Limited (ASX: TMX) (‘Terrain’ or the ‘Company’) advises that the first batch of 537 assays, have been received back from the December 2023 air-core drill campaign undertaken at the Company’s 100% owned Larin’s Lane project, located at the Smokebush project and approximately 350 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia.
The Larin’s Lane REE + Gallium Project is located within the newly Emerging Midwest clay-hosted rare earth elements (REE) district of Western Australia, which is quickly earning a reputation as Australia’s premier destination for REE mineralisation. The Company notes that Venture Minerals Ltd (ASX: VMS) recently reported the highest-grade clay hosted REE intersection at their Jupiter project, which is located approximately 80 kilometres north of Terrain’s Larin’s Lane prospect (see VMS announcements dated 9 February 2024 and 8 March 2024) which further supports Terrain’s assertion of the enormous clay hosted REE potential of the mid-west region of WA.
Only ~25% of Samples Assayed and 4 of 101 holes Fully Assayed
A total of 27 holes have so far retuned REE above the 1,000ppm TREO lower cut-off
Selected holes include:
- 13m @ 1,069 ppm TREO from 80m - 23SBAC019
- 18m @ 1,004 ppm TREO from 84m - 23SBAC036 - sample zones above not assayed
- 3m @ 2,101 ppm TREO from 28m - 23SBAC067
- 4m @ 2,516 ppm TREO from 72m - 23SBAC078 - sample zones above not assayed
A total of 17 holes have so far retuned Gallium oxide grading above the 38 grams per tonne
Selected holes include:
- 6m @ 45.83 g/t - Ga2O3 from 96m - 23SBAC011 – sample zones above not assayed
- 20m @ 48.33 g/t - Ga2O3 from 4m - 23SBAC045
- 8m @ 46.77 g/t - Ga2O3 from 24m - 23SBAC071
The 537 assays received to date, largely represent samples taken at the regolith - bedrock interface, which corresponds approximately with the bottom 10 to 15 metres of each hole. Out of the 101 holes drilled, 20 holes have been fully sampled (but not for all elements), either because an individual drill hole being less than 16 metres or as part of a selected program to gain an understanding of the area’s broader regolith profile. Only about half of the currently tested samples have been submitted for a full suite of REE’s and Gallium, and so many sections of holes are incomplete with most intersections remaining open and untested, these samples have now been submitted for assay. Subject to their results the remaining ~1,252 samples bagged in 4m composites (~5,008 individual meters) may also be submitted for testing.
Note: A table of the assay results received to date can be seen in Appendix 1, also refer to Tables 4 & 5.
The practise of interface sampling is widely used across the industry as a cost-effective method for detecting mineralisation haloes around potential gold and base metal deposits which was being targeted. Whilst no gold or base metal anomalism has been detected, on closer examination Terrain identified significant elevated clay rare earth element (REE) and gallium (Ga) assays across the Larin’s Lane prospect, which will now be the primary focus of any future exploration across the Smokebush project.

Earn In and Joint Venture Agreement Executed with Delta Lithium
Reach Resources Limited (ASX: RR1 & RR1O) (“Reach” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the signing of an ‘Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement, Morrissey Hill and Camel Hill Lithium Project’ (the “Agreement”), with Electrostate Malinda Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Lithium (ASX: DLI) (“Delta”).
The Agreement was executed on 9 March 2024 (the “Commencement Date”), between Reach Resources Limited and Critical Elements Pty Ltd (wholly owned subsidiary of Reach), and Electrostate Malinda Pty Ltd (ACN 610 194 977) (‘Electrostate”).
Key Material Terms
The material, key terms of the Agreement are as follows:
- Delta agrees to pay to Reach a non-refundable cash payment of $3,200,000, within 5 days of the Commencement Date (9 March 2024).
- Delta (via its subsidiary Electrostate) can earn an initial 51% joint venture interest (“Joint Venture Interest”) in the tenements comprising the Morrissey Hill and Camel Hill Lithium Projects (“Tenements”) by spending $3,000,000 on exploration over an initial 2-year period from the Commencement Date.
- If Delta earns an initial 51% Joint Venture Interest (Stage 1 Earn In), the parties agree to form an unincorporated joint venture (the “Joint Venture”), to explore for minerals in the area of the Tenements, on the standard terms and conditions, as set out in the Agreement.
- Delta can earn a further 29% Joint Venture Interest (Stage 2 Earn In), taking its total Joint Venture Interest to 80%, upon further expenditure of $6,000,000 over the next 2 years from Stage 1 completion.
- On completion of the Stage 2 Earn In, Reach can elect to either maintain its 20% Joint Venture Interest by co-contributing to further expenditures pro rata to its Joint Venture Interest or dilute its 20% Joint Venture Interest in accordance with a standard dilution formula.
- The parties have also agreed to negotiate in good faith the terms pursuant to which Delta may purchase Reach’s 20% Joint Venture Interest (assuming that Delta has either earned its 80% Joint Venture Interest or Reach has diluted its Joint Venture Interest to 20%) for a fair market value which may be determined by an independent expert.
- In the event that Delta delineates a mineral resource estimate (as that term is defined in the JORC Code) of equal to or greater than 7.5Mt at 0.8% Li2O (at a 0.5% cut off grade) at any time within 8 years of the Commencement Date, on the Tenements, Delta agrees to pay Reach $10,000,000 in either in cash, Delta ordinary fully paid shares or a combination of both.
- The Agreement contains standard terms and conditions for documents of this nature, including standard contractual joint venture terms, warranties, representations, dilution provisions, default provisions as well as assignment and pre-emptive rights.
Tenements the subject of earn in by Delta:
The Agreement includes the below listed granted exploration tenements, mining lease tenement, and tenement ballot applications (the “Tenements”), for the purposes of earn in by Delta:
- Reach Granted Tenements:
exploration licenses 09/2375 and 09/2388 held by RR1;
exploration license 09/2354 held by Critical Elements; and
M09/101 (completion to occur following this announcement upon the issue of shares in accordance with agreement (ASX Announcement 25 October 2023). - Reach Ballot Applications (applied for by Critical Elements):
09/2805; 09/2807; 09/2897; 09/2902; 09/2906; and 09/2909.
Conditions Precedent
There are no outstanding conditions precedent on the Commencement Date.
Termination
If Delta does not incur the full amount of the Stage 1 Earn-in expenditure within the 2-year period, Delta will not have earned the Stage 1 Joint Venture Interest and Reach may terminate this agreement by giving notice in writing to Delta.
Otherwise, standard termination clauses exist.
Delta may withdraw from the Agreement prior to earning the initial 51% joint venture interest.
Confidentiality
Standard confidentiality clauses, consistent with an agreement of this nature have been included.
CEO Jeremy Bower commented:
“To receive $3.2M cash up front, and a further $10M cash/script if a successful JORC mineral resource delineation of equal to or greater than 7.5Mt at 0.8% Li2O (at a 0.5% cut off grade) is achieved, is a great result during these difficult market conditions. Importantly, we have ensured the final 20% has uncapped upside, with this portion to be negotiated in good faith between Reach and Delta.
Combined with our recently announced Rights Issue to raise up to ~$2M, and further subject to shareholder approval being obtained to consolidate the capital of the Company, Reach will re-emerge with a tight capital structure and over $6M cash.
We are working with the Traditional Owners at our Wabli Creek Niobium project to get on the ground and complete the necessary heritage requirements so we can validate the large target areas identified by independent geochemist Sugden Geoscience late last year and we look forward to updating shareholders on our various work streams as we progress.”
