![Iconic Minerals Ltd. Announces Water Rights Application Filing for Lithium Project](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / March 4, 2016 - Iconic Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ICM / FSE: YQG) announces that it has filed with the state of Nevada an application to appropriate groundwater for its Bonnie Claire lithium project located in Nye County, Nevada (the "Property"). Iconic currently controls over 8,000 acres (3,200 hectares) of mining claims on the Property.
Water obtained via this filing will be used to explore for lithium brines and if successful, for lithium extraction and production. The Company is currently in the process of designing and running a geophysical survey which will initiate the Company's detailed exploration program on the Property.
The following is a brief summary on the Property:
The Property is a lithium brine target. It is located within a valley that is over +20 miles (+30 km) long and 12 miles (20 km) wide into which streams from an +800 mi2 (2,070 km2) drainage basin empty. The source rocks are quartz-rich volcanics that contain anomalous amounts of lithium. Sampling of salt flats within the basin has found lithium values in salt samples ranging from 50 to 340 ppm. The deeper part of a gravity low within the valley is 12 miles (20 km) long and initial estimates of the depth to bedrock ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 feet (460-610 m) within this low. The current claim block covers the gravity low and associated mud flats.
Richard Kern, Certified Professional Geologist (#11494) and CEO of Iconic, is the Qualified Person who has prepared and reviewed this press release in accordance with NI 43-101 reporting standards.
