Dajin-UBC Awarded NSERC Research Grant
March 22, 2016 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, BC - Dajin Resources Corp. ("Dajin") (C:DJI) (OTC: DJIFF) (Frankfurt: A1XF20) is pleased to announce that the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has awarded jointly a $25,000 research grant to Dajin Resources Corp. and Dr. Pierre Kennepohl, Dept. of Chemistry, at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

Dr. Kennepohl, is a renowned specialist in Lithium brine chemistry with considerable experience in researching Lithium brines. The grant will enable Dr. Kennepohl and his colleagues to work with Dajin in the "Characterization and Speciation of Lithium in Heterogeneous Brines: a step towards more efficient and environmentally sustainable Lithium extraction". In Dajin's exploration at Teels Marsh, Nevada, they have encountered brine deposits that differ markedly depending on their inherent geochemistry and brine composition. The team will work towards standardizing sampling protocols and analytical methodologies to consistently report results. They will also work on the most appropriate and efficient extraction methodologies which requires a detailed understanding of the chemical speciation of Lithium deposits in both the solution (brine) and solid (mineral) phases. A major impediment to industry consistent reporting remains accurate and efficient quantification and speciation of Lithium in real mineral and brine samples.
Dr. Kennepohl, noted that he is looking forward to assisting Dajin in advancing their understanding of Lithium brines as well as the industry in better understanding the physical properties of brines. Dajin's President, Brian Findlay, is pleased to have such a high profile team of researchers shedding light on the complex chemistry of Lithium brines.
About Dajin: (www.dajin.ca)
Dajin is an early stage energy metals exploration company holding a 100% interest in 215 placer claims known to contain Lithium and Boron values in the Teels Marsh region of Mineral County, Nevada. These claims, which cover 4,574 acres (1,851 hectares), are the birth place of US Borax Corp's first borax mine. Dajin also holds claims in the Alkali Lake region of Esmeralda County, Nevada. Dajin has entered into an option agreement with Nevada Energy Metals Inc. (C:BFF) to explore their 191 placer claims covering 3,851 acres (1,558 hectares) in this region, 7 miles (12 kilometers) northeast of Rockwood's Clayton Valley Lithium operations.
Dajin also holds a 100% interest in concessions or concession applications in Jujuy Province, Argentina that were acquired in regions known to contain brines with Potassium, Lithium and Boron values. These concessions total approximately 93,000 hectares (230,000 acres) and are located in the Salinas Grandes/Guayatayoc salt lakes basin adjacent to concessions held by Orocobre Ltd. (C:ORL), who is partnered with Toyota Tsusho. Dajin recently completed an agreement with the Tres Morros Cooperativa for exploration of the San Jose Project consisting of 4,400 hectares (10,873 acres) of mineral concessions (San Jose and Navidad) within the Salinas Grandes salar.
