Anson Resources has been granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Green River City Planning & Zoning Commission for exploration drilling and operation of its Sample Demonstration Plant at the Green River Lithium Project in Utah. This permit marks a significant step forward in the company’s exploration and development plans in the region.
Key Developments and Approvals
– The receipt of the CUP follows the recent re-zoning approval by the Green River City Council, allowing the site to be used for mineral processing and exploration activities.
– The company anticipates receiving approval for its exploration drilling program from the Government of Utah in the coming weeks.
– The exploration drilling is set to take place adjacent to the site of the Sample Demonstration Plant. The brines extracted from the drilled well will be directly utilized in the plant.
Objectives of the Demonstration Plant
– The Sample Demonstration Plant aims to replicate the operating conditions of Anson’s proposed future full-scale production plant. This initiative is designed to showcase the project’s potential to off-take partners and funders.
– Production at the Demonstration Plant is expected to commence in January 2024.
Strategic Importance of the Permit
– The approval of the CUP is a pivotal development in Anson’s strategy to develop the Green River Project alongside its lead project, the Paradox Lithium Project.
– With the re-zoning of Anson’s privately-owned ground at the Green River Project, the company is now positioned to conduct exploration drilling and advance its lithium extraction and processing capabilities.
