ION Energy’s CEO and Director, Ali Haji said that having reported strong results from the lithological holes, the company can share that they are completing the third water well at the highly encouraging Urgakh Naran project.

“Until recently, ION’s team had anticipated not being able to return to the site and resume this phase of our drilling program until much warmer weather, later in March. We’re excited to already be in possession of the equipment necessary for bailer sampling, pump testing and hydrogeological testing to advance the inferred resource calculations at Urgakh Naran. Work on sampling will commence in the coming weeks.”

The company has also completed a non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,000. The offering consisted of the sale of 100,000 common shares at $0.40 per share.
