ION Energy is updating drilling operations at Urgakh Naran in Mongolia following an initial assessment in September 2022.
Encouraging progress
ION Energy reports a total depth of 702 meters of lithological drilling. It also records the drilling of a well up to 300 meters. Finally, his report mentions a thickness of at least 80 meters of gravel zones from 184 meters.
The site visit was in September 2022 before a second visit this month. The calculation of the resources is thus in progress. Ali Haji is the CEO and director of ION Energ, says:
“The progress made on site at Urgakh Naran continues to be very encouraging. Being able to report on lithology that is indicative of permeability, further validates the low resistivity zones identified by the TEM conducted this summer. We continue to advance the asset at full speed.”
Increased demand for lithium
At Urgakh Naran, ION Energy’s drilling efforts are making steady progress. The objective is to complete the wells. Thus, these efforts allow the company to make progress in resource calculations.
ION Energy is committed to exploring and developing the lithium salars of Mongolia. His flagship project is Baavhai Uul Lithieum. Covering an area of more than 81,000 hectares, ION holds an exploration permit for the lithium brine site in Mongolia.
