Phase Two Drilling Program At The Gemini Lithium Project


VANCOUVER - Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. reported the commencement of the Phase 2 drilling program at the Gemini Lithium Project, is imminent. Gemini is located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The Phase 2 drilling program is permitted for up to twelve (12) borehole locations and is planned as follow-up to the two successful boreholes that intersected significant lithium values during the maiden drilling program at Gemini in March and April.

Due to unforeseen delays, the drill and crew will be mobilizing to Gemini this month. The first drill hole of the program is GEM22-03, which is planned to reach a minimum depth of 1,500 feet (457 meters). Up to six boreholes are planned in Phase 2 for an estimated total of 8,000 feet (2,439 meters) of drilling. The exploration goals for the Phase 2 program are: (1) test lithium-bearing brine and sediments at greater depths than previous boreholes GEM22-01 and GEM22-02, and (2) determine the lateral extent of lithium-mineralized brine and sediments identified in the previous Gemini drill holes. Drill hole locations may be amended or revised during the Phase 2 program as results warrant.
