Bradda Head reports solid surface sampling results from Whistlejacket

(Sharecast News) - Bradda Head Lithium reported surface sampling results of up to 3.03% lithium oxide at its Whistlejacket project in Arizona on Monday, with 18 of 60 rock samples returning grades above 0.59% lithium oxide and 12 exceeding 1.0%. The AIM-listed lithium developer said the results confirmed widespread lithium mineralisation associated with spodumene-bearing pegmatites and identified two highly prospective target areas that will help refine drill targeting.

The company plans to collect a further 290 chip samples and is also preparing a channel sampling programme following an upcoming drilling campaign.

Bradda said it had also formally established a technical committee with Rio Tinto subsidiary Kennecott Exploration Company to oversee exploration activities at Whistlejacket.

Executive chair Ian Stalker said the results had "refined and improved our exploration targeting and further reinforces the project's strong lithium potential", adding that the developments position the company to advance drilling across its Arizona spodumene projects during 2026.

At 1532 BST, shares in Bradda Head Lithium were up 8.18% at 2.98p.
