Anson Resources Limited has reported the start of a Geotechnical Engineering Study at the Green River Lithium Project in Utah’s Paradox Basin.
The Engineering Study is part of the due diligence process for Anson’s intended acquisition of privately owned, industrial-use property at Green River, which is proposed as the future site of a lithium production facility at the Green River Lithium Project.
According to Anson, the progress of the prospective land acquisition’s due diligence is favourable. Independent engineers have concluded Phase 1, Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) procedures. During Phase 1 of the ESA investigation, no significant environmental impacts were identified.
Independent engineers and geologists are conducting the Engineering Study, which will comprise of:
- 9 boreholes and 5 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
- Geophysical surveys to determine dynamic properties of subsurface materials
The Engineering Study will produce a geotechnical report containing a summary of the analyses, findings, and recommendations for potential construction sites on the property, as well as the following factors:
- Field records of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions
- Geotechnical design criteria for shallow and deep foundations
- Corrosivity evaluation of soils
- Earth work recommendations
- Evaluation will provide foundation design recommendations
