Nevada Sunrise discovers conductive zones at Gemini Lithium Project

25.02.2016  |  CNW

TSXV: NEV

VANCOUVER, Feb. 25, 2016 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that it has received preliminary results from a time-domain electromagnetic survey ("TDEM") carried out on the Gemini Lithium Project ("Gemini") in Lida Valley, Nevada. A reconnaissance moving-loop TDEM survey over Gemini West and Gemini East has detected conductive zones within the sub-basins defined by recent gravity surveys. The results gained from the TDEM survey are interpreted to be conductive brines at depth located well below the non-conductive alluvium (sediments) at surface.

A conductive layer 150–250 metres deep appears to cover most of Gemini West and Gemini East, and several isolated strong conductive zones were interpreted at depths from 400 to 600 metres. The conductive layers and zones are indicative of brine solutions in porous aquifers and traps within each sub-basin.

"We are pleased with the initial results from the ground survey, which supports the exploration science that has been applied to this project," said Warren Stanyer, President and CEO of Nevada Sunrise. "Gemini was hiding in plain sight, and the discovery of conductive zones bodes well for defining future lithium brine drill targets."

For further information on Gemini including location maps and a section showing the preliminary TDEM results, see the Company's website under "Projects-Nevada Lithium" at: http://www.nevadasunrise.ca/projects/nevadalithium/

Gemini is currently the subject of an interim agreement between the Company and Eureka Resources Inc. ("Eureka") (TSXV: EUK), whereby Eureka can earn a 50% working interest in a joint venture at Gemini with Nevada Sunrise (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated January 21, 2016). Nevada Sunrise acts as operator of Gemini.

About Gemini and the Lida Valley
Gemini is located approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of the town of Lida, Nevada, and currently consists of 247 placer claims totaling 4,940 acres (2,000 hectares) acquired by a Nevada Sunrise staking program. Gemini flanks the Gold Point Solar Energy Zone, a U.S. Bureau of Land Management land reserve for solar power generation. The Lida Valley is a flat, desert basin with a similar geological setting to the established Clayton Valley basin, which hosts North America's only producing lithium mine at Silver Peak, located 40 kilometres (26 miles) to the northwest.

Nevada Sunrise has adopted an exploration strategy targeting desert basins, or playas, that exhibit similar geological and geophysical characteristics to the Clayton Valley basin where lithium brines are known to accumulate in faulted sub-basins, or "traps". Such sub-basins can be delineated by gravity surveys that detect strong gravity lows. Previous ground gravity surveys in the Lida Valley area were widely-spaced and limited in scope, however in 2012 and 2013 a geological research team led by Dr. John Oldow of the University of Texas, Dallas collected approximately 500 gravity measurements along 7 transects crossing the Lida Valley.

The detailed gravity survey results indicate strong gravity lows within two, faulted sub-basins approximately 7 kilometres (4.5 miles) apart, each interpreted to be hundreds of metres deep. Nevada Sunrise made the decision to acquire claims covering the available land after reviewing the geophysical results in conjunction with favourable local geology, namely late Miocene felsic volcanic tuffs adjacent to Gemini. These rocks provide the source of lithium for trapped, lithium-rich saline ground-waters (brine) within the sub-basins. On completion of more detailed TDEM surveys, drilling into the conductive zones within the sub-basin for lithium-bearing brines is recommended as the next step of exploration. There are no known drill holes at Gemini.

About Nevada Sunrise
Nevada Sunrise is a junior mineral exploration company with a strong technical team based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, that holds interests in nine mineral exploration projects in the State of Nevada, USA. Nevada Sunrise began acquisitions of Nevada lithium properties in September 2015, which include options to earn 100% interests in the Neptune and Clayton Northeast projects, and a 100% interest in the Aquarius Project, all located in the Clayton Valley area. The Company also holds options to earn 100% interests in the Jackson Wash and Atlantis projects, and has a 50% participating interest in the Gemini project, each located in playas proximal to the Clayton Valley.

The Company's three key gold assets include a 21% interest in a joint venture with Pilot Gold Inc. (TSX: PLG) at Kinsley Mountain near Wendover, a 100% interest in the Golden Arrow project near Tonopah, and a 100% interest in the Roulette gold property in the southeastern Carlin trend near Ely, with each of the properties subject to certain production royalties.
