Aim-listed Bradda Head Lithium has secured an Arizona-licensed drilling contractor to start its 2026 infill exploration campaign at the Whistlejacket project in coming days.

Bradda Head plans to have 20 diamond drill holes drilled for about 3 657 m to expand known lithium mineralisation identified by Kennecott Exploration in 2023.

"This is another major milestone for Bradda Head as we continue to advance Whistlejacket toward its maiden mineral resource estimate. With permits in place, infrastructure preparations underway, and an experienced exploration team ready to mobilise, we are ready to commence drilling by the end of July.

"This programme is designed to improve our understanding of the scale and continuity of the mineralised system at Whistlejacket and represents another important step in unlocking the value of a highly prospective hard-rock lithium project in the US.

"Following our recent successful fundraise, we are well positioned to move quickly and advance our exploration programmes at both Whistlejacket and San Domingo," says executive chairperson Ian Stalker, referring to the company's second project in Arizona.
