Arkle Resources PLC announced it has been granted a new lithium exploration block north of its Mine River Block in Wicklow/Wexford in Ireland. The new block consists of four prospecting licences for lithium, rare earth elements and other minerals, including gold and platinum. The licenses cost a total of EUR3,000 and Arkle is required to spend a minimum of EUR10,000 in exploration costs on each licence over the next 24 months.

The ground is contiguous with the International Lithium Corp. - Gangfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. joint venture to the west, where a large zone of lithium bearing pegmatites has been discovered associated with the Leinster Granite Pegmatite Belt.

The Directors believe this new ground is fertile for lithium deposits.
