GTI Energy Managing Director Bruce Lane joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's progress in planning for the 2024 field season in Wyoming. Lane expressed satisfaction with the advancement of permitting efforts, ensuring that drilling activities are on track to commence during the third quarter of the year.
In his discussion with Proactive, Lane disclosed that while 42 drill holes remain permitted and undrilled at the Lo Herma site, a comprehensive review of the drilling conducted in December 2023 has informed the company's decision to refine and expand the planned 2024 drilling program. As a result, GTI Energy has identified 71 drill hole locations and intends to construct up to 5 groundwater monitoring wells. This strategic approach aims to expand the resource areas and, wherever possible, upgrade the current mineral resource classification.
Furthermore, Lane emphasized the importance of collecting crucial data during this phase of exploration, including hydrogeologic parameters of the mineralized aquifers and rock core samples for metallurgical testing. These efforts underscore GTI Energy's commitment to advancing its understanding of the Lo Herma project's potential and laying the groundwork for future development.
Anticipating the mobilization of drilling rigs to Lo Herma as soon as full permitting and environmental clearances are finalized, GTI Energy expects drilling activities to commence in July 2024. Following the completion of the 2024 drill program, the company plans to publish an updated mineral resource estimate and exploration target range for the project. This updated estimate will serve as a foundation for the near-term development of a Scoping Study, demonstrating the economic potential of the Lo Herma project.
With these strategic initiatives in place, GTI Energy remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing exploration efforts, enhancing resource delineation, and unlocking the economic value of the Lo Herma project. As the company continues to execute its exploration and development strategy, stakeholders can anticipate further updates on progress and milestones achieved in the coming months.
