Cypress to Acquire Clayton Valley Lithium Brine Project, Nevada, Private Placement Financing Announced

25.01.2016  |  Globenewswire Europe

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cypress Development Corp. (TSX-V:CYP) (OTCBB:CYDVF) (Frankfurt:C1Z1) ("Cypress" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Company has entered into an Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the 1280 acre Clayton Valley Lithium Brine Project located in Esmeralda County, in the state of Nevada, USA.

Cypress' Clayton Valley Project is located on the south flank of "Angel Island" and immediately southeast of the Albemarle Silver Peak lithium brine mine. The acquired claims share their western boundary with placer claims controlled by Pure Energy Minerals. Pure Energy has identified a lithium resource at its Northern Resource Area (see Pure Energy Minerals news release July 28, 2015), that is located to the immediate west of Cypress newly established boundary.

Cypress' highly prospective "Glory" and "Angel" claims are located within 0.5 miles (>1000m) south of current and past producing lithium brine wells belonging to the Albemarle Silver Peak Mine. Cypress' Clayton Valley claims are located in an active area of surface hectorite clay lithium mining and lithium exploration. Highways and electric power are in place and exploration resources needed are readily accessible.

The Albemarle Silver Peak Mine is the only operating brine based lithium mine in North America. The Silver Peak area is one of the oldest mining areas in Nevada having produced substantial amounts of silver, gold and other minerals. The Silver Peak Mine began operations in 1967 to mine lithium by low cost evaporation ponds and has produced lithium since then.

Cypress has reviewed the seismic data in the Pure Energy NI 43-101 technical report Titled "Inferred Resource Estimate for Lithium", dated July 17, 2015.  The data appears to indicate a very favorable lithium brine exploration target along the western and west central portions of Cypress' property.  Other first order targets exist on the property including extensive outcropping of altered green claystones and the presence of stockwork veining localized at paleo hot spring vents discovered during staking of the property.  Cypress believes that additional lithium brines could be localized at the water table below the outcropping claystones and potentially also localized along structures cutting these units.

Initial, limited surface sampling by Cypress in January 2016 has returned very positive results with sample LMHill-3 returning assays of 490 ppm lithium (Li) and sample LMHill-4 returning 580 ppm lithium (Li). The samples also contained strongly elevated levels of magnesium, potassium, sodium, and strontium.

Cypress' Clayton Valley Lithium Project is in an area of outcropping of hectorite claystones that quite possibly overlie brines at a shallow level. The core lands cover the immediate easterly extension of Pure Energy's identified northern resource area. The lithium brines being produced for almost 50 years at Silver Peak have come from the flanks of Angel and Goat Islands.

Clayton Valley is located within the Basin and Range Province in southern Nevada and is an internally drained, fault bounded, and closed basin. Basin filling strata compose the aquifer system which hosts and produces the lithium-rich brine. (Zampirro Report 2004).

Tesla Motors is driving the current lithium boom in Nevada with the construction of a Gigafactory, a large-scale lithium-ion battery facility outside of Sparks Nevada. Market speculations of the likely construction of additional large-scale lithium battery factories in the region appears based on the potential of lithium batteries as all purposed energy storage units that are highly scalable.
