Dajin Resources and Geothermal Development Associates Sign MOU
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 31, 2017) - Dajin Resources Corp. ("Dajin") (TSX VENTURE:DJI)(OTC PINK:DJIFF)(XETRA:C2U1) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Geothermal Development Associates (GDA), Reno, Nevada. GDA is a geothermal development corporation with geothermal leases in the Teels Marsh valley that overlie Dajin's placer claims. GDA's principle line of business is the development of geothermal resources for electrical generation. As a result of this MOU, GDA and Dajin will share exploration data with the ultimate aim of supporting the development of a Lithium brine extraction facility as well as developing a geothermal plant for electrical generation and the production of direct-use thermal water. This agreement outlines a non-competitive relationship where both companies are focusing on their key strengths, while working together on their exploration program during development.
Dajin's President Brian Findlay remarked, "This relationship will provide Dajin preferential access to green renewable electrical power and thermal energy to power a potential future Lithium brine operation without competition over surface and water rights". GDA's President Martin Booth said, "We are pleased with this association with Dajin who understands and appreciates the significance of geothermal resources and how collaboration can help both companies move forward on their respective developments."
