Exploration of Nevada for Lithium Continues Adapted from a Press Release by Advantage Lithium Advantage Lithium Corporation and its partner, Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation, announced it has started its drill program at its Clayton NE property, in Clayton Valley, Nevada. O'Keefe Drilling of Butte, Montana, has been retained to conduct the drilling of three boreholes to roughly 4500 feet using reverse circulation equipment. These boreholes will focus on high-priority lithium brine targets bordering Albemarle's Silver Peak lithium brine production wells. Three priority drill targets have been chosen to best intersect the broadest and most conductive zones detected by recently completed DC (direct current) resistivity survey. The United States Geological Survey conducted drilling in the area more than 30 years ago and encountered lithium in the ground- water at around 480 feet. The lithium values ranged from 24 parts per million (ppm) to 110 ppm, averaging 69.3 ppm for a group of 11 samples, and averaging 65.75 ppm for another group of 12 samples, analyzed both in the laboratory and in the field. The company believes drilling deeper could intersect additional aquifers potentially hosting brines of similar or better contents of lithium. David Sidoo, president and director of Advantage Lithium said, "In line with our strategy of growth via acquisition and the drill bit, we are very pleased to be starting our first drill program at Clayton NE, which benefits from both its geology and its proximity to Albemarle's lithium production wells, as well as our access to water rights in the region." In September 2016, a 3-D resistivity ground geophysical survey successfully imaged highly conductive zones at Clayton NE. These zones are interpreted as brine formations and extend to the survey limit of approximately 2600 feet.
