Bradda Head Lithium secures key permit for Arizona exploration program

Bradda Head Lithium Executive Chairman Ian Stalker joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major regulatory milestone for the company after receiving approval from the Arizona State Land Department for its Plan of Operations covering the Whistlejacket and San Domingo pegmatite projects in Arizona. Stalker explained that the permit represents a significant advancement for Bradda Head’s exploration strategy and provides the company with the ability to move forward with expanded exploration activities across two of its important lithium assets. The authorization follows the company’s joint venture arrangement with KMX Exploration Inc. for the Whistlejacket project and provides a pathway for more extensive drilling and development work. Under the terms of the approved Plan of Operations, the permit allows for up to 24 drill pads and associated rock sampling activities at the Whistlejacket project, as well as 24 drill pads at the nearby San Domingo project. Initial work at Whistlejacket will focus on defining high-priority drill targets designed to support future exploration and resource expansion efforts. Stalker noted that field activities are expected to begin with drilling and related exploration programs aimed at increasing geological understanding of the project areas. Development work is expected to include road construction where required, drill pad preparation, and ongoing field programs intended to support the broader exploration strategy. Contractor selection activities for the 2026 drilling campaign are currently underway, with the company moving ahead with detailed planning and logistical preparations. The permit approval also confirms that environmental and cultural requirements associated with the projects have been addressed. Bradda Head stated that all necessary supporting studies, including cultural and native plant inventory surveys previously completed by KMX, have been incorporated into the approval process. Stalker described the milestone as a meaningful step forward in advancing Bradda Head’s Arizona lithium portfolio. With all required permits now secured, Bradda Head believes it is well-positioned to continue advancing exploration efforts and creating value across its expanding lithium asset base through 2026. #proactiveinvestors #braddaheadlithium #aim #bhll #mining #lithium #ianstalker #BraddaHeadLithium #Lithium #MiningNews #ArizonaMining #BatteryMetals #CriticalMinerals #Exploration #Drilling #ResourceDevelopment #EVMaterials
