"Anson Resources kicks off geotechnical study for Green River lithium processing plant
20:34 Sun 28 May 2023The drilling rig carrying out engineering work.
Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN) has kicked off a geotechnical engineering study for a proposed lithium processing plant at its Green River Project in the Paradox Basin in southeastern Utah, USA.
The exploration company intends to purchase the privately-owned, industrial-use land, which is near its flagship Paradox Lithium Project.
Anson has completed the first phase of an environmental site assessment with no major issues identified.
Plan showing the locations of the proposed boreholes and test pits.
The study will consist of core drilling and shallow trenching plus geophysical surveys, to provide data and subsurface conditions for possible construction locations within the property.
Independent engineers and geologists will lead the work consisting of nine boreholes and five test pits, from which the following will be collected:
- Core samples to a minimum depth of 70 feet and soil samples;
- Field resistivity measurements; and
- Dynamic properties of subsurface materials.

The study follows Anson’s signing of a letter of intent (LOI) earlier this month to acquire the 0.568 square kilometres of land less than 1 kilometre from its Green River Lithium Project.
The Green River landholding comprises 1,265 placer claims over an area of 106.2 square kilometres.
This land purchase will include water rights, as well as the oil and gas and mineral rights underlying the new landholding, and comes with easy access to the national rail network, interstate road system and gas and power infrastructure.
Concurrent exploration
The exploration at Green River will run in parallel with Anson’s core asset, the Paradox Project, which has a JORC resource of 1.04 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent.The close proximity of the projects will enable the company to leverage its experience and expertise in the region to fast-track exploration and mineral delineation for Green River.
Anson estimates a conceptual exploration target of 2.0-2.6 billion tonnes of brine, grading 100-150 parts per million (ppm) lithium and 2,000-3,000 ppm bromine at the project."

Go AVZ!
Seems to be a bit of info floating around about possible changes/additions/reforms to legislation around the permitting process
This seems to be causing some hold ups
Also there is Fed Funding in the picture which is also delayed
Doesn't seem to be much to do except sit around and wait unfortunataly

ASX-listed mineral resources company Anson Resources has started construction on the demonstration plant at its Green River lithium project in the US.
This demonstration plant’s construction is considered to be the next major step in Anson’s plan to expedite the development of the Green River project.
The company also noted that it secured the relevant approvals for the demo site and has already started the groundwork. The site will begin production next January.
This follows the detailed geotechnical engineering study of the project, which began in May 2023.
The plant is being built on the company’s previously acquired industrial-use land.
Once completed, it is expected to produce lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃), which will be used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other potential offtake partners.
Anson stated that it will continue to concentrate on replicating the direct lithium extraction (DLE) process used at its lithium innovation centre (LIC) in Florida.
This site has started sample production for OEMs along with cathode active material (CAM) qualification test work.
DLE is the first step in the lithium carbonate production process. A small DLE pilot plant included testing both adsorption and desorption processes.
During the test, the amount of lithium adsorption over other elements in a resin was tested. The data was collected from each step of lithium extraction and purification through to the final product.
Once the demo plant is built, the information collected from the test will be used for refining the efficiency of the lithium carbonate production process.
The data from the LIC plant in Florida is also claimed to have helped in understanding the production process.
This information has been used for the demo plant’s design, which is expected to produce additional samples using the same process from fresh brine.
The company also plans to replicate the equipment in use at the LIC Florida plant.
Located 50km from Anson’s Paradox lithium project, the Green River project is a strategic addition to Anson’s lithium asset portfolio in Utah.
The project has a total of 1,251 placer claims spread over an area of about 106.2km². It claims to have a substantial exploration target of 2-2.6 billion tonnes of brine with a grading between 100ppm [parts per million] and 150ppm of lithium and between 2,000ppm and 3,000ppm of Bromine."
