Nevada Lithium Resources Inc. announceD the commencement of a sonic drilling program across portions of its 100% owned Bonnie Claire lithium project (the ?Project? or ?Bonnie Claire?). The drilling is part of the current work program that commenced in the summer of 2023 (?2023 Exploration and Development Plan?), advancing the Project towards an expected Pre-Feasibility Study in 2024.

The overall work program is designed to investigate geotechnical rock properties and basin fluid flow within strata at Bonnie Claire. The primary focus of the work is aquifer testing and geotechnical characterisation from drill logging and borehole geophysical procedures to identify suitable intervals for straddle-packer pumping testing. Pumping tests will in turn measure hydraulic connections within strata and measure production rates of groundwater for chosen intervals.

This geotechnical engineering work will build on a 2022 study and is expected to advance understanding relating to open pit stability evaluation, underground stability for borehole mining, and surface infrastructure foundation on the Property. Geotechnical Engineering: A geotechnical investigation completed in 2022 (?the 2022 Program?) evaluated borehole mining at depths of up to 2,000 feet and found that materials less than 500 feet deep were less consolidated than those at greater depth. The supplemental investigation currently being undertaken is intended to evaluate the suitability of upper materials for a potential open pit mine, support of a mill & other operational equipment, and tailings storage.

Site hydrology/hydrogeology: The assessment of site hydrogeology in the 2023 Exploration and Development Plan will also build on the 2022 Program. Data from 2022 Program with respect to drilling, geophysical logging, and packer-testing provided estimates of hydraulic connectivity at one location. The additional sonic drilling work being completed as part of the 2023 Exploration and Development Plan will provide a broader understanding of groundwater flow and hydraulic conductivity across the Property.

Initial holes will address aquifer testing down to 700 feet in depth to support potential open pit design. Later holes will investigate deeper water related to the borehole mining method.
