- Announced that it has completed an orientation survey at Teels Marsh, Esmeralda County Nevada
- Lithium values ranged from 8.9 to 104.5 ppm.
- The two best results (93.2 and 104.5) were obtained downstream of thermal springs on the western part of the property.
- Collected twenty-seven shallow auger sediment samples
- Program was primarily a test of the sampling method to see if it could be used to collect samples beneath low sand dunes and alluvial gravel.
May 26, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia- Nevada Energy Metals Inc. “the Company” (TSX-V: BFF; OTCQB: SSMLF) (Frankfurt: A2AFBV) is pleased to announce that it has completed an orientation survey at Teels Marsh, Esmeralda County Nevada. Nevada Energy Metals collected twenty-seven shallow auger sediment samples from the Teels Marsh West Project area April 18 – 20, 2016. The sampling program was primarily a test of the sampling method to see if it could be used to collect samples beneath low sand dunes and alluvial gravel. This goal was met in most locations.
Samples were collected using a powered auger to reach a maximum depth of 2.9 meters (9.5 ft.) below the surface. The holes were initially drilled with an electric auger and bottom hole samples were collected with a hand tulip style sampler. Sampling was conducted by Pediment Gold LLC of Sparks, Nevada. Samples were collected on site and transported to the ALS Global preparation facility in Elko, Nevada by the Nevada Energy Metals project geologist. Samples were analyzed by ALS using their MEMS41 multi-element package. QA/QC standards and blanks were inserted into the sample stream to assure accuracy.
Lithium values ranged from 8.9 to 104.5 ppm. The two best results (93.2 and 104.5) were obtained downstream of thermal springs on the western part of the property. A general increase in values was noted at the playa margin with lower values in the alluvial fan on the southwestern part of the property. Many of the sites on the alluvial fan did not penetrate to the maximum depth due to boulders. Sampling was supervised by Alan J. Morris CPG who serves as the project geologist and Qualified Person on the Teels Marsh West Project.
