As lithium in Nevada gains attention, Spearmint plans to get back in
Canadian junior explorer Spearmint Resources is planning to resume exploration operations at its Clayton Valley lithium prospect, as interest in lithium in Nevada picks up.
Company president James Nelson says there has been a “distinct positive feeling” surrounding lithium and especially, recently, lithium in Nevada.
On Wednesday, Noram Ventures announced successful drill results including 56.4 m with an average of 1 230 parts per million (ppm) lithium on its project, which borders Spearmint.
Spearmint in April 2018 concluded its exploration drilling programme, which intersected a range of 1 670 ppm to 396 ppm lithium over 82 m averaging 835 ppm lithium, including 10.6 m feet averaging 1 140 ppm.
Also recently announced was news that Schlumberger Technology had begun the initial steps to advance its option to test and develop Pure Energy Mineral's Clayton Valley Project.
“When a major company like Schlumberger is looking at the property right beside Spearmint, and judging by how Noram shares doubled yesterday on their lithium drill results, it is clear that lithium in Nevada is gaining attention again. We are looking forward to getting back into Nevada shortly,” said Nelson on Thursday.
The company recently also announced the acquisition of the River Valley East platinum/palladium prospect, in Ontario, for which it is also formulating plans.
“Clearly 2020 will be very active for Spearmint in terms of work programme at a time when the general sentiment towards junior mining companies has turned positive."
