VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nevada Lithium Assets Inc. (CSE: NVLH; OTCQB: NVLHF; FSE: 87K) (“Nevada Lithium” or the “Firm”) is happy to supply the primary core assay outcomes for its preliminary diamond drill gap from the 2023 drill program at its 100% owned Bonnie Claire lithium undertaking (the “Venture” or “Bonnie Claire”), positioned in Nye County, Nevada. BC2301C was drilled to the geological basement, intersected at 2950 ft (899 m), and is the deepest gap drilled so far at Bonnie Claire.

Nevada Lithium’s CEO, Stephen Rentschler, feedback: “2301C is the primary drill gap inside our Pre-Feasibility Examine (PFS) useful resource improve space, and we’re delighted with these assay outcomes. Core Gap 2301C is the deepest gap drilled so far, returned amongst the very best grades intercepted on the undertaking so far, and confirms the potential for extra high-grade mineralization. The extension of this core gap to basement, revealing important lengths of further steady excessive grade mineralization, is a superb instance of the Firm’s progress in shortly exhibiting the potential for elevated worth at Bonnie Claire.”

He continued, “Optionality is among the best belongings of Bonnie Claire. We consider that our intensive land package deal and geology present us with the chance so as to add to the exceptional worth indicated by our Preliminary Financial Evaluation of $1.5 Billion USD (ATAX 8%) utilizing LCE costs of $13,400 tonne2. The vast intercepts of excessive grade mineralization reported in the present day are tremendously encouraging and are just one a part of our formidable examination of Bonnie Claire. Along with our core gap drilling program, our present sonic drilling subject program is, amongst different issues, assessing suitability of strata for open-pit mining strategies. We’re additionally increasing our understanding of the potential for lithium brines at Bonnie Claire with a seismic program, and we look ahead to sharing our conclusions about all these initiatives with the market over the next months.”

BC2301C is the primary gap ever drilled past 2000 ft at Bonnie Claire and extends the beforehand encountered high-grade zone by over 400 ft (122 m) in depth. The outlet additionally identifies the potential for important further high-grade mineralization which has not been drill-tested so far.

Assay outcomes from BC2301C embody 3076 ppm Lithium (“Li”) over 1100 ft (335 m) from 1360 ft (415 m) depth within the decrease mineralized zone, inside a broader zone of 2219 ppm Li over 1740 ft (530 m) from 1040 ft (317 m). These outcomes embody samples which have returned amongst the very best grades so far on the Bonnie Claire undertaking of 5390 ppm Li from 2180 ft (664 m) to 2200 ft (671 m), and 5080 ppm Li from 2240 ft (683 m) to 2260 ft (689 m).

Within the higher mineralized zone, assays embody 1171 ppm Li over 180 ft (55 m) inside a broader interval of 969 ppm Li over 370 ft (113 m) from 30 ft (9.1 m) depth.

BC2301C Outcomes & Interpretation

Gap BC2301C was deliberate as a part of the PFS infill program to extend grade confidence. Nevertheless, it additionally demonstrates the potential for deeper mineralization at Bonnie Claire and permits better understanding of the deep basin geology. This newly recognized potential is illustrated in a cross-sectional grade comparability from gap BC2301C to BC2201C (Determine 1). BC2201C completed in mineralization at grades of better than 3000 Li ppm (introduced within the Firm’s Information Launch September 29, 2022).

The lithium grades of this drill gap – BC2301C – reveal a really comparable lithology and grade-depth profile to that of present holes within the space (introduced within the Firm’s Information Launch dated September 29, 2022) passing from an higher mineralized claystone horizon, via a barren sandstone horizon, right into a decrease mineralized claystone horizon (Determine 1). In distinction with earlier holes, BC2301C was prolonged to basement, which was encountered at 2,950 ft (899 m) depth, permitting a extra fulsome examination of the decrease mineralized zone.

BC2301C comprises robust lithium grades near-surface (common 969 ppm Li) to a depth of roughly 400 ft (122 m), a low-grade central part, and a large high-grade part from 1040 ft (317 m) to 2780 ft (847 m) with 2219 ppm Li over 1740 ft (530 m). The decrease Zone consists of excessive grade intervals of 3076 ppm Li over 1100 ft (335 m) and 4291 ppm Li over 360 ft (110 m).

The very best-grade samples returned at BC2301C embody 5390 Li ppm and 5080 Li ppm at 2180 ft (664 m) and 2240 ft (683 m) depth respectively, and signify amongst the highest-grade mineralization encountered so far, at depths better than beforehand drilled on the Venture.

Extra diamond drilling is at present underway at Bonnie Claire. with outcomes to be introduced in the end as assays are obtained and interpreted.
