Wikieup project
Mohave County, Arizona
The Wikieup project is located half-way between Phoenix and Las Vegas, in Mohave County, Arizona, and is 18km north north-west of the Basin Project, covering a total area of 20.70km2.
Project highlights
Property identified in 2018 after collecting six grab samples, followed up by an addition 150 samples. The positive results spurred the widespread staking of lode and placer claim over prospective lands. The 156 samples average lithium grades of 642 ppm Li and 814 ppm Li from favourable geological units. The highest sample recorded was 1,750 ppm Li.
The Company controls 20.70 square kilometers of lode claims, parsed into 5 separate claim blocks along a 22km long corridor of lithium bearing clay-sediments, geologically known as the Big Sandy
Bradda Head conducted GPR geophysics in 2021 at Wikieup, detecting anomalies that resemble clay thicknesses of up to 90 metres, comparable to Arizona Lithium’s Big Sandy deposit (1,850 ppm Lithium grade), which is adjacent to Bradda Head’s Wikieup claims.
Exploration drilling was undertaken at Wikieup in December 2021 following reception of exploration drill permits from the Bureau of Land Management. Drilling was conducted using sonic drilling, which is more environmentally sensitive due to the minimal use of water compared to diamond core drilling or R/C. Results from the program are encouraging with intercepts of 55.47m @ 751ppm Li in hole W12-22-07 and 38.43m at 699 ppm Li from 52.43 with 7.32m at 990ppm Li from 81.69m depth in hole NNW-22-18.
The Company completed a land exchange with Arizona Lithium earlier in 2024, gaining 5.27 square kilometers of new claim while exchanging 4.60, thus a net gain of 0.67 square kilometers and within 900 meters from Arizona Lithium’s Big Sandy resource.
The Company has recently commenced surface exploration mapping and general sampling on the newly acquired lands where lithium-bearing clay horizons are known to occur. Results to be posted as data is received.
