Arcadia Minerals Ltd. announced the commencement of further drilling at its Bitterwasser Lithium-in-Clay Project and to report that similar lithology to that of the Eden Pan, where a Lithium JORC resource has previously been defined2, has been intersected in the first drill hole at the Madube Pan. The Company has continued its exploration activities on the clay deposits at the Bitterwasser Lithium Clay Project. Previously, drilling only took place over the Eden pan, which resulted in a JORC1 Mineral Resource being defined of 286,909-ton Lithium Carbonate wholly classified in the Inferred Category.

The Eden pan, which is 1,831 Hectares in size, is one of 14 exposed clay pans located within the Bitterwasser Lithium in Clay Project area and to date the only pan that has been entirely drilled by the Company. Auger drilling has now commenced on the Madube Pan (517 hectares in size), with a total of 15 holes planned as part of an exploratory third phase drilling program. If positive lithium mineralisation is intersected elsewhere on the Madube Pan, an extended drilling program would be implemented.

Based on the fact that the widest intercepts and highest lithium grades were intersected in the centre of the Eden pan, drillhole MDB01 was drilled in the middle of the Madube Pan. This hole intersected all the lithological "green clay" units observed during the Eden drilling campaign and which contained the highest Lithium grades. The width of the green clay unit intersected in borehole MDB01 is 13m wide compared to the maximum width of 9m intersected at the Eden Lithium Pan.
