O ttawa , ON - TheNewswire - January 13, 2023 - Stria Lithium Inc. (TSXV:SRA) (“Stria” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the helicopter-supported core drilling program has resumed after Christmas holidays at its flagship Pontax Lithium property, in west-central Eeyou Istchee Baie-James Territory of northern Québec. The drilling program aims to complete another 3 holes as it waits for the completion of a winter road to mobilize three land-based drill rigs to the site. This road is vital for carrying out the proposed 12,000 plus metres winter program designed to delineate a resource as well as test the extensions of the Central Pontax zone, to be completed by early April 2023.
The winter road construction contract was awarded to Waska Resources, a local indigenous company based in Waskaganish, Qc. We anticipate the road should be complete by the end of January 2023. Dml Spare Parts Spare Parts
