HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drilling commenced at the priority lithium pegmatite targets at the Abbotts North Project.
  • 2,000m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to be completed in February.
Richard Taylor, CEO of Premier1, commented:

“We are excited that the first drill program is now underway and we look forward to testing the compelling LCT pegmatite targets at Abbotts North. The team has worked hard to achieve all required milestones to commence drilling so soon after funds were received from the recent capital raise.”
