In Utah, the Paradox Basin and the underlying Mississippian (Leadville) formation is known to contain high quality brine resources lithium, bromine, potash, iodine and other valuable recoverable minerals.
Of the fifty-five oil and gas wells drilled in the area, at least thirty-two penetrated the Paradox Salt member of the Hermosa formation which contains the supersaturated brines and evaporite beds.

The Paradox Basin and the Mississippian (Leadville) Formation is known to contain high quality brine resources lithium, bromine, potash, iodine and other valuable recoverable minerals.
A total of 4,160 acres in the Paradox Basin with close proximity to rail head, industrial power, paved roads, and services. The targeted brine horizon occurs over the entire property.
Grades as high as 500 ppm were recorded immediately adjacent to the property. Lithium occurs in super saturated brines with over 40% dissolved solids in solution.
Anson Resources (ASX: ASN) currently shows the potential overlap of its current resource of 1,037,900 t Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE). (Figure 1)
Economic interest in this area has historically centered on oil and gas production – massive supersaturated brine deposits have been well documented as part of those drilling operations.
