American Lithium Minerals Completes Sampling Program Over Borate Hills Project in Nevada

Commodities news - American Lithium Minerals Inc has completed a sampling program over the Borate Hills Project in Nevada. A total of 465 surface and trench samples were collected from the North and South Borate Hills project. The average for all samples from North and South Borate Hills were 1348 ppm Lithium, 4621 ppm Boron and 7000 ppm Strontium. For South Borate Hills only, the average sample grades were 1537 ppm Lithium, 4945 ppm Boron and 10442 pm Strontium. Sample grades ran as high as 3000 ppm lithium (0.3%). The average results of the surface sampling program are encouraging given not all samples are from the mineralized unit as only a portion of the deposit is exposed at surface and is thought to be somewhat leached at surface.

American Lithium Minerals Inc has completed a mapping program of South Borate Hills and is currently mapping the North Borate Hills. Based on the sampling and mapping results, American Lithium Minerals has developed a fall drill program on the higher grade South Borate Hills project and has filed a Notice of Intent with the Bureau of Land Management for16 drill sites.

Borate Hills Project is a large co-product lithium and boron deposit located 20 miles west of the only producing lithium mine in North America. American Lithium and JOGMEC are currently completing an economic pre-feasibility study for the Borate Hills Project.

The Nevada, United States location is strategic for the concentration of US manufacturing requiring lithium; including automotive batteries, power storage and consumer electronics; as well as a known mining state with excellent road, rail and power infrastructure. American Lithium is also active in grassroots exploration for lithium deposits in the Great Basin of the United States with ten other highly prospective projects in Nevada and Utah.
