Galan Lithium Limited announced that its maiden drilling programme at Candelas is due to commence this week. The Company has engaged Canadian based international drilling company Major Drilling to perform its diamond drilling campaign at Candelas. Major Drilling has significant experience in drilling salt flats for brine in Argentina. Additionally, Galan has contracted the services of SRK Australia to oversee resource definition, QA/QC and review work over the Candelas Project with a view to potentially generating a JORC compliant resource estimation. The maiden drilling campaign aims to test the geophysical model developed by the Company and its consultants and is also planned to provide detailed data on the stratigraphy within the Candelas channel. The results from the initial hole will also assist in the planning of subsequent drilling. This maiden drill programme is planned to comprise five holes to be drilled along the 1215 km extent of the Candelas channel.
