Spearmint Resources has forwarded samples of its recently drilled lithium hosted claystone to McClelland Laboratories of Sparks, Nevada.
Spearmint’s recently completed 10-hole drill program on its Clayton Valley, Nevada lithium clay project, directly bordering Cypress Development Corp., discovered lithium in every hole, achieving a 100 percent success rate.
Spearmint had strong, consistent drill results showing that the lithium is very near the surface.
The results from this recent phase of drilling, combined with assistance from the metallurgist, will now enable Spearmint to commence the necessary steps towards defining a potential resource calculation.
Highlights included 35 feet averaging 1,343 parts per million lithium, 55 feet averaging 1,214 ppm, 35 feet averaging 1,036 ppm and 4 holes reporting average values greater than 1,000 ppm starting within 20 feet of the surface.
James Nelson, President, stated: “We are excited to take the next step in the process towards determining a potential resource calculation for our Clayton Valley Lithium Clay Project in Nevada that directly borders Cypress Development Corp. On February 9, 2021, Cypress announced a $17 million bought deal offering to further advance it’s Clayton Valley Project, which clearly illustrates the strong demand of investor interest in this world class lithium district. Spearmint’s recently completed drill program, that discovered lithium in all 10 out of 10 holes, was drilled directly into the shared blanket-like claystone deposit where Cypress already has total measured plus indicated resource estimates of 929.6 million tonnes averaging 1,062 ppm Li or 5.2 million tonnes LCE, announced on August 11, 2020. Clayton Valley, Nevada continues to receive significant global attention as the premier lithium address in the USA hosting the only producing lithium deposit in North America. Lithium prices are rising on the insatiable demand in batteries for Electric Vehicles and we see no sign of that hyper growth abating this decade, therefore causing a massive demand for ethically sourced, domestic lithium production. Spearmint is right now in the best financial shape in the company's history with zero need or expectation to raise any money in the foreseeable future. We are moving forward at a rapid rate right now at a time when demand for lithium is approaching all-time highs. Management is confident about the short and long-term future of Spearmint.”
