QX Resources intersected brines in the first hole of a two-hole diamond drill program at the Liberty Lithium Brine Project in California, USA.
Brine sampling is in progress, and lithium assay results are expected within six weeks.
The first drill hole reached a depth of 369m, encountering brines at shallower levels than anticipated at 49m and 329m.
The second drill hole, located 4km south, targets a significant geophysical anomaly indicating conductive brine-bearing aquifers at depth.
