Work On Miller Crossing Lithium Project

VANCOUVER – Arbor Metals Corp. has initiated a preliminary work program on it’s newly acquired Miller’s Crossing lithium project, located in the Big Smoky Valley, Nevada, United States.

The Miller's Crossing project consists of 192 claims covering 3,800 acres, of which the Company owns 100%, with no royalties. The Project is considered prospective for playa-type brine deposits as it is located near to, and shares geological similarities with, the Silver Peak lithium brine operations in the Clayton Valley owned by Albemarle Corp., which represents the only lithium-producing brine operation in North America. However, the Project is also considered very prospective for lithium claystone mineralization in the richly mineralized Esmeralda lithium district of Nevada.

The Company has initiated preliminary work on the Project directed at both brine and claystone targets. A satellite imagery survey has been commissioned, and field crews have made an initial visit to the site for reconnaissance and logistical planning.  Field crews will be focusing on the identification of the Siebert formation sediments on the Project which is the host rock of American Lithium’s TLC deposit. Proposed activities this quarter include geological mapping, extensive surface sampling, airborne and/or ground geophysics and soil geochemistry. 

Mark Ferguson, President, said, “We are very excited to be advancing the Company’s Miller’s Crossing Lithium Project.  Our team has been evaluating past work and geological information and feels the potential for new discovery is promising.  The Company is particularly interested in exploring the Siebert formation sediments on the property, as the same formation in which American Lithium’s TLC deposit was discovered.”
