• Updated Notice of Intent for 10,000tpa LCE Green River Lithium Production Plant submitted
• Updated plant layout based on PFS engineering study
• Approval expected in next 90 days, final major approval required for planned production plant

Anson Resources Limited (ASX: ASN) has submitted an updated Notice of Intent for Small Mining Operations (SMO) for its planned 10,000 tonne per annum Green River Lithium Carbonate Production Project in south-eastern Utah, USA. The SMO is for mining operations with a ground disturbance area of less than 20 acres. A new design of the plant layout has been conducted as part of the Pre-feasibility Study (PFS), which estimates the disturbance at 19.6 acres. No additional mining operation permits are required as the extraction of raw brine and the disposal of waste brine have already been granted by the Government of Utah. The proposed project site is in Emery County, Utah on a 147-acre land parcel purchased by Anson, and is located close to the town of Green River, providing easy access to supporting infrastructure and a potential workforce. The SMO site is already classified as Industrial Land and is considered a brownfield site. The approval of this revised NOI for Small Mining Operations (SMO) is the last major government approval the company requires to commence construction of the planned 10,000tpa LCE production plant at the Green River Lithium Project. Other permits will be required during construction, but this final permit green lights the project for development from a regulatory standpoint.

The completion of the permitting phase derisks the project and makes it more attractive for financing. The revised layout has been determined through the Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) which is nearing completion as is the JORC Resource estimate review, which will further derisk the project, increasing shareholder value.
