Spearmint Receives Drill Permit for Clayton Valley Lithium Project Drill Program in Nevada
September 14, 2020 - Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) (the “Company”) wishes to announce that it has received a drill permit from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to carry out its planned phase-two drill program on its Clayton Valley Lithium Project. This next phase of drilling will be a multi-hole drill program to test the known claystone hosted lithium mineralization within Spearmint’s McGee lithium project. Spearmint has two lithium projects in Nevada consisting of the McGee property (Clay) and the Elon property (Brine) which cover an aggregate area of 1,160 acres. Previous drilling on the McGee project intersected lithium as high as 1,670 ppm Li (announced April 17, 2018).
James Nelson, President of Spearmint, stated "We are pleased to now have our drill permit in hand, and we plan to have drills turning as early as this week. We feel confident in Harrison’s ability to perform this drill program for us as they have many years of knowledge and experience drilling in the Clayton Valley. There are several areas of interest in the clay formation and our plan is to systematically work through these zones. Our first drill program generated some high-grade results, and we believe that a second series of drilling is the key to unlocking the potential of this project. This project lies within a known lithium claystone formation which we share with Cypress Development Corp. (CYP.v) who recently announced (August 11, 2020) a measured resource estimate which was increased to 574.1 million tonnes averaging 1,081 ppm Li or 3.3 million tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) (see map). We are also actively formulating work programs for our projects in Quebec and Newfoundland and anticipate the next several weeks to be some of the most active in company history”
Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Spearmint may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company’s properties.
