  • 18.66m of cumulative thickness of mineralization across 6 pegmatites which includes high grade intercepts of 6.27m @ 1.39% Li₂O, 4.21m @ 1.83% Li₂O, 2.26m @1.52% Li₂O and 1.68m @ 1.83% Li₂O in Hole 17-BD-64
  • 18.64m of cumulative thickness of mineralization across 6 pegmatites which includes high grade intercepts of 6.66m @ 1.59% Li₂O and 2.68m @ 1.58% Li₂O in Hole 17-BD-75
  • 14.08m of cumulative thickness of mineralization across 5 pegmatites which includes a high grade intercepts of 5.03m @ 1.98% Li₂O and 2.04m @ 1.52% Li₂O n Hole 17-BD-70
  • 12.97m of cumulative thickness of mineralization across 2 pegmatites which includes a high grade intercept of 10.36m @ 1.53% Li₂O in Hole 17-BD-72
• Piedmont has now completed the 93-hole Phase 2 diamond drilling program, which totaled 12,262 meters
• The Company anticipates receiving assay results for the remaining 42 holes of the extended Phase 2 program over the coming weeks

Piedmont Lithium Ltd. (ASX: PLL, OTC – Nasdaq International: PLLLY) ("Piedmont" or "Company") is pleased to report further high grade mineralisation from the 93-hole Phase 2 drilling campaign on the Piedmont Lithium Project ("Project") located within the world-class Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt ("TSB").  The Phase 2 program totalled 12,262 meters of diamond core drilling.

Keith D. Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "These additional Phase 2 results continue to showcase the high-grade mineralization throughout our growing land package. We are increasingly confident in our ability to define a large lithium deposit in this historic belt, and we look forward to releasing the remaining results of our Phase 2 drilling campaign over the coming weeks."
