VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 12, 2016) - Millennial Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ML), ("Millennial" or the "Company") reports it has completed an initial phase of exploration on the Company's Lincoln Lithium Property in Nevada (the "Lincoln Property"). The Lincoln Property covers an area of 3200 acres of placer claims in the Big Smoky Valley, Nevada.
The program consisted of drilling 12 shallow auger holes spaced along one line across the salar. Sediment and water samples from each hole were collected and sent to Western Environmental Testing Laboratory in Sparks, Nev., which is a U.S. EPA-accredited (Environmental Protection Agency) independent laboratory. The samples were analyzed for lithium, potassium, boron and magnesium using standard methods for the examination of water and waste water, on-line edition, methods for determination of organic compounds in drinking water, EPA-600/4-79-020, and test methods for evaluation of solid waste, physical/chemical methods (SW846), third edition. The laboratory used its own quality control and quality assurance protocols for sample analysis. Results are as follows:
Sample # | Boron mg/kg | Lithium mg/kg | Potassium mg/kg |
LIN16-01 | 14 | 18 | 1,800 |
LIN16-02 | 7.3 | 9.7 | 1,100 |
LIN16-03 | 17 | 14 | 1,700 |
LIN16-04 | 18 | 11 | 1,200 |
LIN16-05 | 19 | 13 | 1,400 |
LIN16-06 | 19 | 15 | 2,100 |
LIN16-07 | 49 | 39 | 3,600 |
LIN16-08-01 | 22 | 22 | 3,300 |
LIN16-08-02 | 65 | 31 | 2,800 |
LIN16-09-01 | 50 | 23 | 3,700 |
LIN16-09-02 | 120 | 34 | 3,500 |
LIN16-10 | 270 | 53 | 6,100 |
In addition to these early findings, management has reviewed assay results from recent drilling activity by others on adjoining ground which report magnesium to lithium ratios far exceeding acceptable concentrations. As a result of the Lincoln Property's low surface lithium concentrations and the neighbouring magnesium-lithium geochemistry, Millennial has decided to cease any further exploration on the Lincoln Property and will not be paying any further property payments or rents due to maintain the property. Millennial will focus its exploration efforts on its Pastos Grandes and Cauchari East lithium assets in Argentina.
