Ultra Lithium’s Drill Hole Indicates Potential Presence of Brine at the South Big Smoky Valley Brine Lithium Project in Nevada, USA

/in /by

Vancouver, BC – Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: ULI) (FSE: QFB) (“ULI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the drill core and groundwater samples from its first drill hole indicate presence of Li-bearing brine at the South Big Smoky Valley brine lithium project.

The following are the highlights of the data collected from hole BSH16-01:

  • Assay results receive to date indicate anomalous values of lithium in drill core samples. The drill core logs show the presence of volcanic clays, organic matter and tuff at various depths which are documented to be contributed from Late Miocene to Pliocene tuffaceous lacustrine facies of the Esmeralda Formation. Several geological studies consider the Esmeralda Formation to be the source of lithium brine in the South Big Smoky and Clayton valleys. There are a few gypsum layers within sand and clay layers. The amount of volcanic material and tuffs increases with depth.
  • The drill core data shows the presence of multiple sand aquifers down to a drilled depth of 1,000 feet (305 metres) below surface. Water level as measured on June 04, 2016 was at 2 feet (0.6 meters) below ground surface indicating artesian water pressure from a confined aquifer at 349 to 479 feet (106 to 146 metres). The aquifer is comprised of sand with intervening thin clay layers.
  • Assays of groundwater samples taken at various intervals to a depth of 1,000 feet (305 metres) using Harris Exploration’s sampling technique indicated anomalous values of lithium. The Company has installed a well and has taken representative groundwater samples. The Company will disclose the result of the analyses on these waters samples as they are available.

Based on (CSAMT) geophysical survey data, two potential brine targets were interpreted at this borehole location. Drilling results confirmed that the first target continues down to approximately 500 feet (152 metres) below surface, whereas the second target begins at 700 feet (213 metres). The second target is expected to continue down to 1,800 feet (549 metres) below surface which was the proposed depth of this hole. Harris Exploration, the drilling contractor was only able to drill down to 1,000 feet (305 metres) with core drilling and the hole was stopped due to artesian water pressure.

Dr. Weiguo Lang, CEO of Ultra Lithium, stated that, “We are very pleased with the information received from the first 1,000 feet of core drilling showing presence of brine and artesian groundwater aquifers. After this encouraging data, the Company has planned to bring a more powerful drill rig to complete this hole down to a depth of 1,800 feet and to drill the second hole to a depth of 2,200 feet. The brine target in the second hole is deeper and thicker than the first hole based on the previous geophysical survey (CSAMT). We are looking forward to the remaining assay results to gain a better understanding of the Big Smoky hydrogeological system.”

Sampling and QA/QC
All the samples are shipped to Western Environmental Testing Laboratory in Sparks, Nevada, which is an US EPA accredited independent laboratory. The samples are being analyzed for lithium, potassium, boron, and magnesium using Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, online edition, Methods for Determination of Organic Compounds in Drinking Water, EPA-600/4-79-020, and Test Methods for Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods (SW846), Third Edition.

It is important to note the groundwater sampling method used by Harris Exploration is their proprietary technique of taking groundwater samples at a desired depth where a perforated probe is inserted at the last drilled interval and water is allowed to collect and retrieved at the surface through wireline. The sample retrieved using this technique has influence from drilling fluids and surrounding sediments, and the Company is disclosing these results only as qualitative indications of lithium within the brine systems at the Big Smoky Project. After completing and developing this well, groundwater samples were collected using submersible pumps and have been submitted to the laboratory for analysis. The Company is evaluating the drill core and groundwater samples assay results received so far. A comparison of groundwater sampling with Harris’s dedicated sampling method and the samples retrieved using the submersible pumps will be carried out once complete results are available. The Company intends to carry out multiple rounds of water sampling to compare data using different methods.

The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., a qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101 who works as a consultant with the Company.

Ultra Lithium’s Sampling Program Confirms Presence of Anomalous Lithium Values in Sediments at the South Big Smoky Valley Brine Lithium Project

/in /by

Vancouver, BC – Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: ULI) (FSE: QFB) (“ULI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from December 2015 sampling program completed at its 100% owned South Big Smokey Valley brine lithium project. The results not only confirmed presence of lithium in sediments but also indicated anomalous values of boron and potassium.

Highlights of the sampling program are:

  • Maximum values for lithium in sediments is 100 ppm, boron 480 ppm, and potassium 7,600 ppm, whereas the average lithium concentration in all sediment samples is 47 ppm, boron 142 ppm, potassium 4,915 ppm, and magnesium 6,685 ppm.
  • The results confirmed the presence of lithium in the South Big Smokey hydrogeological system. Of particular interest is the northeastern area, of geophysical survey lines C, D, E and F showing consistent anomalous values of lithium, boron, and potassium.
  • The Property is part of an enclosed basin or playa which is considered a prerequisite for trapping of lithium in brines. The rocks on the southwestern part of the valley were observed to be dipping inwards to the basin and overall slope of the basin is to the southwest.

The sediment and water sampling was carried out during December 11-18, 2015, and its purpose was to investigate the presence of lithium in shallow soil and shallow water system. The sediment sampling was conducted along 2014 Controlled Source Audio-Frequency Magneto-telluric (CSAMT) ground geophysical survey lines (see March 07, 2016 press release for survey details). A total of 48 sediment samples were collected to cover geophysical survey lines A to H. Additionally, five water samples were collected from different areas, out of which four were from surface water / ice and one from a water well, located on adjacent ground to the Property. The results confirmed the presence of lithium in the South Big Smokey hydrogeological system. Of particular interest is the area of geophysical survey lines C, D, E and F. Maximum values for lithium in sediments is 100 ppm, boron 480 ppm, and potassium 7,600 ppm. The area of lines A, B, G and H represents sand and gravel at shallow subsurface at majority of the sampling locations and represent a low lithium values on surface. Generally, the lithium, boron and potassium values corresponds well with each other, where the samples with higher lithium concentration have higher values of other two elements. The surface and shallow subsurface water samples show less than one mg/L value of lithium and low values of other three elements tested, indicating that the fresh water recharge does not contribute much to lithium concentration in the hydrogeological system of this area.

During fieldwork, traverses along geophysical survey lines indicated that subsurface sediments generally composed of silty clay, silty sand and gravel. The amount of volocanogenic material and salt varies from place to place but overall it was observed in majority of the claims held by Ultra Lithium. A few traverses of area between Big Smokey and Clayton Valley were made to track presence of distinct layers of white to light grey colour volcanic ash beds surrounding the Clayton Valley. These ash beds were observed to continue to the north, towards the South Big Smokey Valley (BSV) which shows similarity of volcanic material contributing to both valleys. The other similarities between the two valleys are the presence of arid climate; closed basin containing a playa; fault related subsidence; presence of igneous activity; suitable lithium source-rocks in Esmeralda Formation; and one or more adequate aquifers.

Dr. Weiguo Lang, CEO of Ultra, stated that, “The present sampling work has not only confirmed the presence of lithium in sediments of the South Big Smokey Valley but also enhanced our understanding of the South Big Smokey basin to develop future exploration plans. Our next challenge is to drill deep enough to intersect all potential brine bearing targets identified in geophysical and geological data collected so far. To accomplish this goal, the Company has planned to execute a drill program on the Property which will be announced soon.”

All the samples were shipped to Western Environmental Testing Laboratory in Sparks, Nevada, which is an US EPA accredited independent laboratory. The samples were analyzed for lithium, potassium, boron, and magnesium using Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, online edition, Methods for Determination of Organic Compounds in Drinking Water, EPA-600/4-79-020, and Test Methods for Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods (SW846), Third Edition. Laboratory used its own quality control and quality assurance protocols for sample analysis.
