R. Nick Horsley, CEO & Director States, “Mr. Feyerabend notes in his report that the claims cover a conceptual target for lithium brines which are very similar to the published geology of the Clayton Valley lithium brine production area approximately 200 miles to the Southeast. The concept is consistent with generally accepted data and theories about the formation of lithium brine resources. The Black Rock area is known have brines hosted in basin-fill sediments. We’re excited at the prospect of developing the Blackrock South project and look forward to an initial exploration program. Our Blackrock South project is situated in a tier 1 jurisdiction home of the Tesla Gigafactory and America’s only producing lithium mine. The opportunity to discover a domestic lithium supply would be a great compliment to our NI 43-101 compliant 457,000 tonne LCE inferred lithium resource in Argentina.”

About the Blackrock South Lithium Brine Project

The Blackrock South Lithium Brine Project is located 72 Miles North of the Tesla Gigafactory, 93 Miles Southwest of Thacker Pass, and 215 miles Northwest of the United States’ only producing lithium mine, the Silver Peak Lithium Mine owned by Albermarle Corporation. The claims cover a conceptual target for lithium brines which is very similar to the published geology of the Clayton Valley lithium brine production area approximately 200 miles to the Southeast. The concept is consistent with generally accepted data and theories about the formation of lithium brine resources. The target area is lithium – brines hosted in basin-fill sediments.

A recent mineral exploration on the Galt claim group under option to Surge Battery Metals (CSE:NILI) located 11 Miles to the South includes 51 playa sediment samples collected for chemical analysis at ALS Geochemistry in Vancouver, B.C. Results of aqua regia leaching of the samples show 68 to 852 parts per million lithium (mean 365 ppm), 5.3 to 201 ppm cesium (mean 72 ppm) and 35 to 377 ppm rubidium (mean 180 ppm). Results from two seven-foot-deep auger holes show lithium, cesium, and rubidium concentrations in the range of 143.5 to 773 ppm Li, 56.8 to 102.5 ppm Cs and 155 to 272 Rb. American Salars’ management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to American Salars may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company’s properties.
