  • Drilling by Nemaska Lithium Corp. confirms that Whabouchi lithium deposit extends to the east toward Durango’s property which is contiguous to the Whabouchi property
  • Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “Due to the recent drilling program of Nemaska Lithium which confirms that the dikes on its property extend to the east towards our property, our exploration team is excited to begin an exploration program on our claims in this area.”

Vancouver, BC / July 29, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) is pleased to announce that recent drilling by Nemaska Lithium Corp. (TSX-NMX) (“Nemaska”) confirms that Nemaska’s Whabouchi lithium deposit extends to the east toward Durango’s property which is contiguous to the Whabouchi property.

Nemaska’s news release from July 28, 2016 stated “The drilling thus far has confirmed the continuity of the dikes down to 200 metres from surface in the eastern part of the deposit and spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes were observed in all holes…[and]…confirms that there are additional dikes on the Whabouchi property.”

The discovery of additional dikes aligns with the USGS paper 2003-1008 which states that “LCT pegmatites typically occur in groups, which consist of tens to hundreds of individuals and cover areas up to a few tens of square kilometers (Cerny, 1991).”1

Further to Durango’s news release of July 18, 2016, Durango’s exploration team expects to be mobilized on its property in the Nemaska region by August 2nd for the initiation of its exploration program. The initial program will take place over a period of approximately two weeks and consist of detailed mapping and sampling and will target geophysical and historical lithogeochemical anomalies.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “Due to the recent drilling program of Nemaska Lithium which confirms that the dikes on its property extend to the east towards our property, our exploration team is excited to begin an exploration program on our claims in this area.”

  • Samples were collected from the properties and submitted to ALS Chemex for assaying. Lithium oxide (Li2O) varied from 0.01% to 2.86 wt. %
  • Claims are located near the past producing Quebec Lithium Mine which was recently purchased by the Chinese-based Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co. 

Vancouver, British Columbia  – ALIX RESOURCES CORP. (“Alix” or the “Company”) (AIX-TSX:V) (37N–FRANKFURT) is pleased to report the results from its due diligence program on three properties of the Company’s large Preissac-La Corne portfolio in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec. As previously reported (PR of July 6, 2016) a total of 12 granitic pegmatite samples were collected from the properties and submitted to ALS Chemex for assaying. Lithium oxide (Li2O) varied from 0.01% to 2.86 wt. %. Alix Resources claims are located near the past producing Quebec Lithium Mine which was recently purchased by the Chinese-based Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co. (“Jilin”).

  • International Lithium Property – Mineralization consists of spodumene-rich sub-horizontal, irregular dikes located in Figuery township (NTS 32D08). Surface samples were collected and returned an average of 2.41 % Li2O with above-limit tantalum concentrations (>100 ppm) as well. Historic drilling carried out by International Lithium Corp. in the 1950s, delineated a 3.7-metre-thick, 119 by 104 m area providing a historical resource estimate of 135,000 t at 0.95 wt. % lithium oxide (Li2O) (source: RP 446; MERQ).*
  • Duval Lithium Property – Situated in the La Motte township (NTS 32D8), the Duval property mineralization is contained within two granitic pegmatite dikes (182 to 259 m long by two to three m- thick), rich in spodumene (Li) with accessory tantalite (Ta) and Beryl (Be). Collected surface samples averaged 0.43 wt. % Li2O with values ranging from 0.02 wt. % to 0.82 wt. % Li2O. The Duval property area has a historical resource estimates were 75,000 t at 1.45 wt. % Li2O (source: RG160; MERQ).*
  • La Motte Lithium Property – Geological reports on the property located in the La Corne township (NTS 32D08), indicate granitic pegmatites dikes, 0.60 to 1.20 m thick, containing 15 to 30 % spodumene accompanied by beryl. Historical diamond drilling generated key assays of 1.65 wt.% Li2O /1m, and 1.12 wt. % Li2O/1.32 m, respectively (source: GM 03089; MERQ). Selected surface samples show values ranging from 0.65 wt. % to 1.58 wt. % Li2O with an average of 1.22 wt. % Li2O.

Mike England, President and CEO of Alix Resources, commented, “We are pleased to receive confirmation of the strong lithium values from the three properties sampled. The Company is looking forward to complete more extensive exploration activities on this large claim group in the Preissac-Lacorne area of Quebec, one of the world’s most productive terranes for Li ± Ta ± Be mineralization”.

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:21 AM on Wednesday, July 27th, 2016

Sx_hub_logo

  • Entered into a Binding Memorandum of Understanding to acquire Le Royal lithium prospect located approximately 30 km north of the city of Val d’Or in Quebec
  • Acquiring Le Royal lithium prospect jointly with Platypus Minerals Ltd. (ASX: PLP) on an initial 30:70 relative basis.

Montreal, Quebec / July 27, 2016 – St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTC:SXOOF) (CSE:SX) (FSE:85G1) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Binding Memorandum of Understanding to acquire Le Royal lithium prospect located approximately 30 km north of the city of Val d’Or in Quebec.

St-Georges is acquiring Le Royal lithium prospect jointly with Platypus Minerals Ltd. (ASX: PLP) on an initial 30:70 relative basis.

Le Royal lithium prospect comprises 5 contiguous claims, approximately 286 hectares in area and represents a virgin find within a known lithium district, albeit situated only 4 km from the Quebec Lithium Mine. Le Royal is easily accessible and lies close to infrastructure and facilities (Figures 1, 2 and 3).

The Quebec Lithium Mine hosts a resource of 47 Mt @ 1.20% Li2O (NI43-101; Measured and Indicated). The mine was recently acquired by Chinese-owned Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co.

A preliminary site visit by an independent geologist commissioned by St-Georges and Platypus confirmed the presence of a significant amount of lepidolite within a 1.0 X 0.7 X 0.6 metre pegmatite sub angular boulder indicating a new source in the vicinity (Figures 4 to 7). Lepidolite exploration is a key focus for Platypus, given its recent acquisition of mining processing technology developer Lepidico Limited, making Platypus the owner of the L-Max(R) technology which was specifically designed to extract lithium from lepidolite and other Li-mica minerals.

Tesla Opens Gigafactory to Expand Battery Production, Sales $FMR.ca $DGO.ca $PFN.ca $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:09 AM on Wednesday, July 27th, 2016
  • Tesla officially opened its Gigafactory on Tuesday
  • Could nearly double the world’s production of lithium-ion batteries.
  • Factory is about 14 percent complete
  • When finished, it will be about 10 million square feet, or about the size of 262 NFL football fields

Sparks, Nev. (AP) — It’s Tesla Motors’ biggest bet yet: a massive, $5 billion factory in the Nevada desert that could nearly double the world’s production of lithium-ion batteries.

Tesla officially opened its Gigafactory on Tuesday, a little more than two years after construction began. The factory is about 14 percent complete, but when it’s finished, it will be about 10 million square feet, or about the size of 262 NFL football fields. That will make it one of the largest buildings in the world.

The factory is key to the future of Palo Alto, California-based Tesla. The 13-year-old electric car company, which has never made a full-year profit, wants to transition from a niche maker of luxury vehicles to a full-line maker of affordable cars, pickups and even semi-trucks. It also runs Tesla Powerwall, a solar energy storage business for homes and businesses.

The company says making its own lithium-ion batteries at the scale the Gigafactory will allow will reduce its battery costs by more than a third by 2018. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the factory could easily employ 10,000 people in the next three to four years.

Most immediately, Tesla needs the batteries for its fourth car, the Model 3 sedan, which is scheduled to go on sale at the end of next year. At a starting price of around $35,000, the Model 3 will be Tesla’s least expensive vehicle, partly because of battery cost reductions. The batteries for Tesla’s current vehicles, the Model S sedan and Model X SUV, are made in Japan.

Tesla unveiled the Model 3 at the end of March. Within a week, more than 325,000 people had put down a $1,000 deposit to reserve the car. After seeing that level of demand, Tesla moved its production plans forward. The company now says it will make 500,000 vehicles per year by 2018, two years earlier than scheduled.

To meet that goal, Gigafactory construction is proceeding at a furious pace. Inside the factory, Tesla’s partner, Panasonic Corp. — which has invested $1.6 billion into the factory — is installing machines in sealed, humidity-controlled rooms that will start making battery cells before the end of this year.

Panasonic is also shipping cells from Japan to the Powerwall business, which is operating in another section of the factory. Robots are used to place battery packs into home and office units, which store energy from solar panels and allow users to tap it during peak periods. Musk said the Powerwall business will initially make up about one-third of the Gigafactory’s output, but eventually could expand to around half.

Outside, nearly 1,000 workers are laying the groundwork for the factory’s expansion, digging trenches and erecting steel supports in the hot, dusty valley. By the second quarter of 2017, 31 percent of the factory will be completed. Eventually, the roof will be covered in solar panels.

Musk noted that some of the area’s 10,000 wild horses often drink from the ponds at the construction site. Nevada won the factory thanks in part to $1.3 billion in tax incentives, which will benefit Tesla over a 20-year period.

“I find this to be quite romantic,” he said. “It feels like the wild West.”

The factory’s name stems from “giga,” a unit of measurement that represents billions. One gigawatt hour is the equivalent of generating one billion watts for one hour — one million times that of one kilowatt hour.

Tesla says the factory will be producing 35 gigawatt hours of batteries by 2018. That’s the equivalent to the entire world’s production in 2014. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the factory has the capacity to produce 150 gigawatt hours if it needs to. To put that in context, New York City uses around 52 gigawatt hours of energy per year.

Analysts say bringing battery production in-house, instead of buying batteries like General Motors Co. and other major automakers do, can help bring down costs, but also leaves Tesla exposed. If the Model 3 is delayed, for example, or customers’ deposits don’t turn into actual sales, Tesla will have extra batteries on its hands and no way to recoup its costs.

“They could be left with a lot of excess capacity in the near term,” said Sam Abuelsamid, an analyst with Navigant Research. Abuelsamid says there’s also the possibility that advances in battery technology in the longer term could force Tesla to make expensive new investments.

There are also competitors who could derail Tesla’s dreams. Chinese automaker BYD Co., which is backed by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Corp., also makes batteries and energy storage systems and is already building battery-powered buses in the U.S. The company hopes to bring low-cost electric cars to the U.S. in a few years.

Musk says there are still plenty of ways for Tesla to reduce costs, including making its factories more efficient and eventually building more battery factories in Europe, China and other regions where its cars are sold.

The company also is using a different type of battery cell in the Model 3 than it did in the Model S and Model X in an effort to reduce costs.

TSX-V: BFF, (OTC Pink: SSMLF)

Why Lithium?

 

  • Major companies such as Sony and Panasonic got behind lithium as an anchor material in a possible successor to the lead-acid battery paradigm.
  • Although it took decades, lithium-based batteries are now the industry standard.
  • Lithium has limited supply and increasing demand.
  • Lithium seems untouched by economic downturns.
  • Climate change has lead to the frenzied search for green energy solution
  • Because of its high reactivity, lithium does not occur as a pure element in nature but is contained within minerals in a range of hard rock types or in brine solutions (elements contained in salty water) in salt lakes, “salars.” Lithium’s primary driver for growth is:

Batteries and grid-scale energy storage:

  • Most important use of lithium is in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, grid-scale energy storage, phones, laptops, cameras, gaming consoles and hundreds of other electronic devices.
  • Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used for bikes, power tools, forklifts, cranes and other industrial equipment. In essence, lithium powers modern technology.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence estimates that the

“EV market will grow five-fold between 2015 and 2020 while the market for stationary storage will increase 8-fold.”

We have already seen Tesla increase the land holding of their $5 billion under-construction lithium-ion battery factory and Faraday Future strike a deal to build a $1 billion electric car plant.

Nevada Energy Metals Acquires 100% Ownership in Clayton Valley BFF-1 Lithium Project

  • Announced acquisition of 60 claims in Clayton Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada
  • 250 meters from Albemarle Corporation’s Silver Peak lithium mine and brine processing operations
  • Also the location of Pure Energy Minerals’ 816,000 metric tonnes Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) Inferred Resource
  • 3.5 hours away from Tesla’s Gigafactory, which has a planned annual lithium-ion battery production capacity of 35 gigawatt-hours per year by 2020

Nevada Energy Metals Expans Lithium Exploration Potential at San Emidio

Company has increased the exploration potential of the San Emidio property by adding 69 additional claims to its land position. The property now includes 155 claims (approximately 3,100 acres/1255 hectares) in the San Emidio Desert, Washoe County, Nevada, 95 km northeast of Reno.

Importantly, historical results by previous operators exploring the playa for lithium reported lithium value in sediments up to 312 ppm and up to 80 ppm lithium in brine from a depth of 1.5 meters.

Projects

  • Acquired, by staking, 100 placer claims covering 2000 acres (809 hectares) at Teels Marsh, Nevada.
  • Property, called Teels Marsh West is highly prospective for Lithium brines and is located approximately 48 miles northwest of Clayton Valley and the Rockwood Lithium Mine, North America’s only producing brine based Lithium mine supporting lithium production since 1967.
  • Access to Teels Marsh is via dirt road, west of Highway 95 and northwest of Highway 360.

Teels Marsh West is a highly prospective Lithium exploration project, 100% owned without any royalties, located on the western part of a large evaporation pond, or playa (also known as a salar). Structural analysis reveals that Teels Marsh is bounded by faults and is tectonically active. Tectonic activities supply additional local permeability that could be provided by the faults that bound the graben and sub-basins.

  • Located 12 km (7.5 miles) northeast of Albemarle Corporation’s (formerly Rockwood Lithium),Silver Peaksolar evaporation ponds. Silver Peak is the only producing brine-based lithium facility in North America.
  • 60-40 earn-in joint venture with Dajin Resources Corp.
  • In addition to its proximity to Silver Peak, the property is 20 km (12.5 miles) east-northeast of Pure Energy Minerals’ Clayton Valley exploration project.
  • Preliminary data from ongoing exploration activities on the property, suggest that Alkali Lake could be situated on one of the most prospective areas in the entire basin.
  • Lithium assay results from sediment sampling carried out on the Alkali Lake property confirmed the presence of near-surface lithium at grades ranging from 73 ppm to 382 ppm.

  • Early stage exploration property, located in the northern foothills of the Alaska Range, which contains VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) mineralization.
  • Property is located in the east portion of the Bonnifield Mining District, central Alaska, approximately 60 mi (96 km) south of Fairbanks, Alaska (Figure 1).
  • Property consists of 36 quarter-section State of Alaska mining claims (Galleon 1-36; Appendix 1) held by Anglo Alaska Gold Corporation (AAGC). Rock Star Resources Inc (RSRI) holds the rights to a 100% earn-in interest under an agreement with AAGC to pay for exploration and make required payments.
  • Access to the Property currently is only by helicopter, or by trail from a nearby airstrip, however, strong potential exists for future development of a road connecting the Property with an existing mine road system to the west.
  • The claims are subject to a 3% Net Production Royalty to the State of Alaska beginning 3.5 years after mine start-up. All claims comprising the Galleon Property are in good standing at the time of this writing.

Energy metal markets are booming

The age of electrification across the transportation sector, the solar panel revolution, and Tesla’s battery gigafactory are igniting a battle for the cheapest battery. That will transform lithium into a boom-time mineral and the hottest commodity on the energy investor’s radar. It has been easy to take lithium for granted. This wonder mineral is the backbone of our everyday lives, popping up in everything from the glass in our windows to our mountains of electronics.

And while investors have long appreciated the steady rise in demand for this preferred mineral, the number of new applications continues to multiply. Smart phones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronics demand more lithium. But the largest driver for future lithium use will be in electric vehicles and home batteries for solar panels. That has lithium on the verge a boom for which supply can no longer be taken for granted.

  • Exponential demand expected over the coming years
  • Fundamentals behind the long-term trajectory suggest strong potential for long-term growth

So far, lithium has been the hottest metal of 2016, beating out gold, with exponential demand expected over the coming years. Although the price trajectory of the metal has been subdued in recent months, the fundamentals behind the long-term trajectory suggest strong potential for long-term growth. Price doubling from 2014-2015 was first seen in China and is now being felt worldwide, with lithium hydroxide prices from $16-20 and carbonate prices from $12,000-14,000 per ton.

Automotive thrust

There is no doubt as to the push that Tesla has given the current automotive transition to electric vehicles (EVs). As the company’s mission statement outlines, it hopes “to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible.”

However, since 2014, when Tesla first announced the Gigafactory with Panasonic, other manufacturers have begun to take notice and take action. Volkswagen AG announced last week that it was considering LG Chem Ltd. or Panasonic Corp. as partners for several $2 billion factories, according to Bloomberg, with confirmation expected later in the year.

Previous announcements of billion-dollar investments in battery factories by Volkswagen were largely brushed off by investors as deflections from their “Dieselgate” scandal. But with LG and Panasonic in the picture, concrete plans appear to be crystalizing.

Combined with Daimler putting $550 million into tripling its battery production capacity in Germany, Nissan’s planned investments in the UK for its third generation Leaf, and GM’s joint venture with LG Chem to produce batteries in Holland, Michigan, for its Volt and Bolt, it is clear that auto manufactures are beginning to shift to electric—and in a very big way.

Given this new investment, plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales are expected to experience 62% year-over-year Growth in 2016, 60% in 2017, and likely 100% in 2018. This translates into over 600,000 in PEV sales expected in 2018, creating a new level of demand for which the market will need two new lithium mines in operation to even begin to satiate.

“Looking at the full picture here, the future demand for lithium is truly staggering,” says Michael Kobler, CEO and director of American Lithium Corp., one of the ambitious new explorers shaking up the lithium mining scene in Nevada.

Lithium Canada Launches Summer 2016 Lithium Pegmatite Phase One Exploration Program in Southeast Manitoba $PFN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:11 AM on Thursday, July 21st, 2016

  • Phase One Exploration Program to begin Summer 2016
  • Program of Pegmatite Sampling, Prospecting and Mapping planned for the Lithium One, Lithman North and Lithman East Project
  • Numerous historical Pegmatites to be tested for Lithium mineralization
  • Summer Surface Exploration; objective to outline future Drill Programs
  • Utilizing the Prospector Generator Model, the Company is currently seeking participation by interested Option/Joint Venture Partners for its Lithium Projects (see About the Company’s Business Model – Page 2)

Vancouver, BC / July 21, 2016 – Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN”, the “Company”) (TSX-V: PFN; Frankfurt: P7J; OTCQB: PAWEF announces that its 100% owned subsidiary, Lithium Canada Developments will be conducting a Phase One Exploration Program, during the summer of 2016, on three Lithium Projects in southeast Manitoba.

A surface Phase One Exploration Program, consisting of Mapping, Prospecting and Sampling of known Pegmatites, on three of the company’s Lithium Projects, will begin during the summer of 2016. Presently, work permits have been submitted with the government and once granted, the field work will begin. The exploration program planned will lay the groundwork for future Exploration Plans and Drill Programs. Historic records in the region have indicated Lithium mineralization and mineralogy to be present in several Pegmatites, but at the time, exploration was being conducted for other commodities.

The three projects that are being explored this summer will be the Lithium One, Lithman North and Lithman East Projects. All three have previously mapped Pegmatites and are situated in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field. This Pegmatite Field hosts the world class Tanco Pegmatite, which has been mined from an underground operation, at the Tanco Mine Site in various capacities, since 1969. It once was one of the primary producers of Spodumene (a primary Lithium ore) in North America.

The Tanco Pegmatite is not exposed at surface, except for under Bernic Lake. It is an extremely fractionated, rare-metal, complex type-Petalite subgroup, LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) Pegmatite, hosted in a late-stage, subvolcanic Gabbro. Current NI43-101 compliant resource calculations are not available for the Tanco Pegmatite. Academic publications have estimated the size of the deposit to be up to approximately 57 million tonnes. The last published mineral reserves (end of 1992) were 1.075 million tonnes of 0.12% Ta2O5, 3.5 million tonnes of 2.7% LiO2, and 315,000 tonnes of 23.3% Cs2O.

Lithium Canada Development Inc. (100% wholly owned Subsidiary of Pacific North West Capital); total land holding in SE Manitoba, as of July 2016: 6,181 hectares (15,274 acres).

Further announcements regarding potential Joint Ventures and other exploration initiatives, on the company’s Lithium Projects, in southeast Manitoba will be forthcoming.

About the Company’s Business Model

“Utilizing the Prospector Generator Model and an aggressive project Acquisition Program, management plans to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to explore and develop a number of Concurrent Exploration Projects. After an initial phase of exploration on our projects, our team plans to partner via Option/Joint Venture Agreements with Major and well-funded Junior companies that want exposure to the Lithium industry.

The Prospector Generator Model reduces risk, share dilution and increases Discovery Potential.”

About The Company’s Lithium Division

The company’s new Lithium Division will focus on the Discovery, Acquisition, Exploration and Development of Lithium Projects in Canada. In the United States, the company will use its wholly owned U.S.A subsidiary to Acquire and Develop projects, in active mining camp, in Nevada, Arizona and California.

Management believes that these New Age Metals, Lithium, PGMs and Rare Earths, have robust macro trends, with surging demands and limited supply. Going forward, this new Division will explore for the minerals needed, to fuel the demand for energy storage and other core 21st Century Technologies.

The company has a growing portfolio of Lithium Projects. The Clayton Valley Forks Li Project in Nevada is a recent Lithium Brine Project, acquired by the company (PFN News Releases: April 25th, 2016 and May 9th, 2016.) The company also has Hard Rock Lithium projects in Canada (PFN News Releases: April 21st, 2016, May 24th, 2016 and July 5th, 2016), located in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field of southeast Manitoba.

Lithium and Platinum Group Metal prices have improved dramatically in recent months. Lithium supplies remain in deficit, relative to their demand. Both metals groups are used for the expanding worldwide automobile industry (conventional and electric). In the case of PGMs, demand is increasing for Autocatalysts, a key component for reducing toxic emissions for automotive, gasoline and diesel engines. Regarding Lithium, there is an ever increasing demand for batteries, in cellphones, laptops, electric cars, solar storage, wireless charging and renewable energy products.

Nevada Energy Metals Announces Update: American Lithium Corp Joint Venture in Clayton Valley $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:37 AM on Tuesday, July 19th, 2016

Bff_hub-2_copy

  • Subsequent to the Companies news release of June 17th, 2016, American Lithium Corp. has received TSX-V approval to acquire all of the outstanding shares of 1074654 B.C. Ltd
  • Holds the right to acquire up to a 70 % interest in and to the Clayton Valley BFF-1 project “the Property” located in Nevada.
  • Following the exercise of the Option, the American Lithium Corp shall have a seventy (70%) interest in and to the Property, with Nevada Energy Metals retaining the balance.

July 19, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia- Nevada Energy Metals Inc. “the Company”, TSX-V: BFF (OTCQB: SSMLF) (Frankfurt: A2AFBV) is pleased to announce that, subsequent to the Companies news release of June 17th, 2016, American Lithium Corp. has received TSX-V approval to acquire all of the outstanding shares of 1074654 B.C. Ltd which holds the right to acquire up to a 70 % interest in and to the Clayton Valley BFF-1 project “the Property” located in Nevada.

American Lithium Corp. now assumes the obligations in respect to the previously announced option agreement, which in addition to a non-refundable deposit of USD$25,000 (paid) is USD$2750,000 and 1,200,000 million common shares of American Lithium Corp. in three tranches on or before the second anniversary of closing, and $1-million in exploration expenditures on or before the third anniversary.

Following the exercise of the Option, the American Lithium Corp shall have a seventy (70%) interest in and to the Property, with Nevada Energy Metals retaining the balance. Thereafter, the parties will work diligently and in good faith to negotiate the terms of a joint venture to advance development of “the Property. The joint venture will provide that expenditures on the Property will be funded on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective parties proportionate interest in the Property. In the event that any one party declines to fund the expenditures in proportion to their interest, their respective interest in the joint venture shall be reduced accordingly, provided that no party shall be diluted below a fifteen (15%) interest in the Property.

Rick Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Nevada Energy Metals, commented: “We are delighted to have American Lithium Corp as our partner with which to advance the Clayton Valley property. The BFF-1 Project covers an area similar to the structural and geologic settings at Albemarle’s Silver Peak lithium-brine operation and lies only two hundred meters to the north west side of their property. We look forward to an exciting exploration program being carried out in the months ahead.”

About the BFF-1 Project:

The Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project is an early-stage lithium brine prospect in Esmeralda County, Nevada. A total of 77 placer claims cover an area of approximately 623 ha (1,540 acres) on the north-western side of the original Clayton Valley playa. The property position covers an inferred graben bounded by the Silver Peak Range front on the west and by an outlier of Paleozoic rocks known as Goat Island on the east. The exploration concept is that the graben is a sub-basin of the larger Clayton Valley basin and may represent a secondary trap for lithium brines within the greater system.

The Clayton Valley BFF-1 NI 43-101 Technical Report by Alan Morris, CPG, QP, states “The property has strong potential to host Lithium brine deposits in favorable geologic horizons within the basin fill. Another possible target is lithium enriched clay within the fill package and potentially in previous high stands of the playa.” (April, 2016)

Geologic and geophysical mapping conducted for geothermal exploration and documented by Hulen (2008) indicates previously unrecognized, deep graben lying between the Silver Peak range front and outcrops of Paleozoic rocks at Goat Island and Alcatraz Island. This area was their target zone for a deep circulating geothermal system they hoped to exploit for geothermal power. This graben is the main target for lithium brine as it may represent a separate sub-basin in Clayton Valley that holds brines not subject to pumping by production wells on the east side of the main valley. Exposed mineralization is confined to salt crust on the playa surface and other locations in the valley.

Western Geothermal Partners drilled a 120 meter (400 foot) geothermal gradient test well in 2006 on what is now the Clayton Valley BFF-1 project. Bottom hole temperature was 50?C (122?F) which showed moderate potential for geothermal power. Of significance, the well encountered a 25-foot-thick zone of volcanic ash reportedly similar to the Main Ash Aquifer in the Clayton Valley lithium operation. The presence of any felsic ash in this hole is significant in light of that, it is the presumed source for at least some of the lithium in the brines (Price et al, 2000).

Durango Finalizes Exploration Plan For Nemaska Whabouchi Area Properties $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:45 AM on Monday, July 18th, 2016

Logo

  • Finalized its exploration plan for its properties near Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi deposit
  • One of the closest land positions to Nemaska Lithium’s proposed Whabouchi pit
  • Boundary 1.4 kilometres to the east of the proposed pit and contiguous with more than 8 kilometres of Nemaska’s property boundary

Vancouver, BC / July 18, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that it has finalized its exploration plan for its properties near Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi deposit in northern Quebec. Durango boasts one of the closest land positions to Nemaska Lithium’s proposed Whabouchi pit, with its boundary 1.4 kilometres to the east of the proposed pit and contiguous with more than 8 kilometres of Nemaska’s property boundary.

The first phase of exploration will consist of a detailed mapping and sampling program and will take place over the course of approximately two weeks, commencing in early August. The program will target geophysical and historical lithogeochemical anomalies, with the goal of identifying pegmatite bodies underlying the property. Various targets of the survey are outlined below.

Of particular interest to the Durango technical team are a series of geophysical signatures in both the historical total field and gradiometric magnetic surveys reported in the 2011 Tucana Lithium Report on the Abigail Property (1). These anomalies indicate some potential for an extension from the Whabouchi deposit, or a trail of similar pegmatite intrusions, towards the northeast, crossing the north-central portion of Durango’s eastern claim block, as shown below in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

The Company cautions that these are preliminary interpretations. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on the property and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in mineralization or mineral resources being identified on the property.

Durango has also coordinated with the Cree First Nation of Nemaska to arrive on site in the coming weeks. The Company is fully financed to execute the first phase of exploration at its Nemaska properties, as well as its 100%-owned Dianna Lake Silver Prospect in northern Saskatchewan (see Durango news, July 13, 2016).

Pending the success of the sampling program and identification of any anomalous lithogeochemical values, the following phase may consist of trenching across the identified anomalous zones, as warranted. Further information on the second phase of exploration will be provided after the conclusion of Phase 1.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango comments, “We were very pleased to hear on July 13th, Nemaska Lithium announced a drill program targeting the eastern zone of its proposed Whabouchi pit to add near-surface resources. This new information, in addition to the surge of recent activity in the area, has greatly reinforced the potential of Durango’s key land position in the Nemaska region. We expect to get boots on the ground following the completion of our sampling program at Dianna Lake, which is currently underway.”

Additionally, the board has granted an aggregate of 650,000 options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company. Each option is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of two years from the date of grant.

The technical contents of this release were approved by Mr. Case Lewis, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not yet been the subject of a National Instrument 43-101 report.
