Jindalee Resources Ltd (ASX:JRL) has fielded several shallow intercepts of high-grade lithium mineralisation, generated in an infill drilling program designed to improve confidence in the McDermitt Lithium Project’s resource estimate.

Situated in Oregon, US, McDermitt already holds a JORC-compliant resource estimate of 1.82 billion tonnes at 1,370 parts per million lithium for 13.3 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent.

The company has now completed 10 diamond-drilled holes and 11 reverse circulation (RC) holes, with assays received for MDD020 to MDD023 so far.
