Nevada Sunrise applies for drill permit on Neptune lithium property in Clayton Valley, Nevada

24.11.2015  |  CNW

TSXV: NEV

VANCOUVER, Nov. 24, 2015 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce it has made application to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM") for a drilling permit to explore for lithium brines on its Neptune property ("Neptune", or the "Property") located in the Clayton Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA.

Nevada Sunrise has acquired geophysical data that indicates Neptune may host an interpreted 1,200 metres (3,630 feet) deep basin with the potential to host lithium-bearing brines in subterranean aquifers.   In its application to the BLM, the Company has proposed drilling 3 to 4 vertical holes up to 400 to 500 metres deep into the interpreted basin, with follow-up drilling, if warranted. The drill program is planned to begin in early 2016, following receipt of all BLM approvals.  For further information on Neptune including a map showing its location and planned drill holes please visit "Projects – Nevada Lithium" at:  http://www.nevadasunrise.ca/projects/nevadalithium/

2015 Neptune Exploration and Land Management
The southern Clayton Valley area demonstrates enrichment in lithium in the nearby mountain ranges, desert sediments and in local plants. Nevada Sunrise has carried out ASTER spectral analysis of satellite imagery over the Property and surrounding areas of the Clayton Valley. Results indicate lithium-bearing clay is derived from bedrock in areas to the north, west and southeast of Neptune. Biogeochemical data collected by the Company in October 2015 has confirmed anomalous lithium concentrations ranging from 11 ppm up to 35 ppm in a specific desert plant common to the Clayton Valley and sampled near the planned Neptune drill holes.  

In October 2015, Nevada Sunrise carried out a re-staking program in the Clayton Valley and expanded the size of Neptune to 316 unpatented 20-acre placer claims totaling approximately 6,320 acres (2,557 hectares). Under the terms of the Neptune option agreement a 1.5 mile (2.25 kilometre) area of interest applies to the Property. Nevada Sunrise can earn a 100% interest in Neptune, subject to a 3.0% gross overriding royalty ("GOR"). On the 3rd anniversary of the signing of a definitive agreement, Nevada Sunrise would have the right to purchase 1.0% of the GOR for US$1.0 million (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated September 21, 2015 for further details of the Neptune option agreement).

About Neptune and the Clayton Valley
Neptune (formerly known as the Clayton Deep property) is located approximately 37 miles (55 kilometres) southwest of Tonopah, Nevada in an active area of lithium exploration and mining. The Silver Peak lithium mine, now owned by Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), has extracted lithium minerals from brines continuously since 1966, and is located approximately 10 miles (15 kilometres) to the north of the Property. Pure Energy Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PE), a Canadian-based exploration company, has recently published a technical report on an inferred lithium resource for its Clayton Valley South project located near the Silver Peak mine.

In 2013, the USGS released a paper describing the Clayton Valley's potential to host lithium deposits based on the hypothesis that lithium is liberated by weathering of host rocks or derived from hydrothermal fluids from a variety of rock sources within a closed basin. The floor of Clayton Valley has an area of about 100 square kilometers and a catchment of about 1,400 square kilometres, and is the topographically lowest of at least five adjacent basins that are hydrologically linked by groundwater flow (Zampirro, 2004). It is the combined area of all five linked catchments that matters, making the effective area of the Clayton Valley lithium-brine system much larger than the footprint of the Clayton Valley proper (Source: from USGS Open File 13-1006, 2013).
