Geotest continues drilling for Imerys' EMILI lithium project (Phase IV) at Beauvoir, France

Geotest continues its drilling programme for Imerys’ EMILI lithium project at the Beauvoir granite in Échassières, in the Allier region of France, now carrying out Phase IV of the resource-definition campaign. This stage comprises up to 30 reconnaissance boreholes, 250m to 750m deep, and builds on three earlier campaigns since 2021 that confirmed a substantial lithium mica resource supporting Imerys’ ambition for a domestic, low-carbon European lithium supply chain.
