The Property

The Property consists of 54 association unpatented placer mining claims totaling 2,554 acres known as the CE and CD claims, contiguous to the south of the Company’s existing Clayton Valley Lithium Brine Project in Nevada. The Property claims overlie the north-south trending basin that is present beneath the southern half of the Clayton Valley. A recent seismic reflection survey completed by the Company included the Property, and initial results show that the mineralized zone intersected in the Company’s recent drilling campaign extends throughout the Company’s entire claim area, from adjacent to the existing Silver Peak lithium operations southwards to include the Property. With the addition of the Property the Company has expanded its opportunity in Nevada to over 9,000 acres.
