A high-precision measurement of excitation energies in 22Mg was performed using the 25Mg(3He,6He)22Mg reaction as a different approach to study this proton-rich, astrophysically interesting nucleus. The reaction was studied at 51.0 MeV with the Enge split-pole spectrograph at Yale. Proton-unbound states at 6.051(4) and 6.329(6) MeV were observed, confirming a recent identification of these new states with the 24Mg(p,t)22Mg reaction. There is no evidence in our data of a previously reported state at 5.837 MeV.
