Spearmint Resources Intersects Targeted Clay Formation on its Clayton Valley Lithium Prospect
Vancouver, Feb. 23, 2018 - Spearmint Resources Inc. (TSXV: SRJ) (OTCBB: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) ("SRJ" or the "Company") wishes to announce that the first drill hole has been completed, reverse circulation hole, SMR-1. The hole was TD'ed at 340 feet and penetrated a thick section, approximately 250 feet, of the targeted clay. Samples from SMR-1 were rushed to Reno for immediate assaying. Drilling now continues on hole 2. Spearmints Lithium Project drilling calls for 3 wells testing the green clay formation and 1 deep well testing the deep brine target located less than 1/2 mile east of a Pure Energy Minerals exploration hole that was completed as a production well. James Nelson, President of Spearmint states, "We are pleased that the first hole has intersected the targeted lithium bearing clays. We look forward to what the assay results will return and look forward to next 3 holes."
