Global Battery Metals expands drill program at Irish lithium project February 22, 2021 According to the Canadian miner, the new campaign will consist of six holes. “The target areas are along the same lithium pegmatite trend as the Avalonia project, where Ganfeng Lithium and International Lithium have previously drilled high-grade lithium pegmatite at Aclare and Moylisha,” Michael Murphy, Global Battery Metals CEO, said in a media statement. Murphy said that the NW Leinster property exhibits a comparable structural and stratigraphic setting to Avalonia, which lies between 20 km (Moylisha) and 30 km (Aclare) along strike to the southwest forming a semi-continuous zone of discrete lithium-bearing pegmatites and aplites.
