Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. Receives Initial Lithium Analyses from Borehole GEM22-03

06.12.2022  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, Dec. 6, 2022 - Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise", or the "Company", formerly Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp.) (TSXV: NEV) (OTC: NVSGF) is pleased to announce that preliminary geochemical analyses have been received for borehole GEM22-03 at its 100%-owned Gemini Lithium Project ("Gemini") located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, Nevada. In the upper part of the hole, the Company has intersected lithium-bearing sediments in the characteristic lithium-bearing green clay that was encountered in the first two holes (GEM22-01 and GEM22-02) drilled in the spring of 2022. Drilling of GEM22-03 is still in progress with the hole depth currently at approximately 1,380 feet (420.73 metres).

Borehole GEM22-03 was collared at a location approximately 0.47 miles (0.76 kilometres) north of GEM22-01 and 1.14 miles (1.83 kilometres) north of GEM22-02. Sampling of the lithium-bearing green clay layer began at 300 feet (91.46 metres), after the drill passed through the surficial alluvium (sand and gravel) layer, and 22 representative spot samples were collected from various intervals in the hole to provide an initial geochemical assessment of the green clay layer to a depth of 810 feet (246.95 metres). The 22 representative samples were submitted on a rush basis to American Assay Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada, and produced results ranging from 615 parts per million ("ppm") lithium to 1,450 ppm lithium (see Table 1).

A total of 143 additional sediment samples were collected from hole GEM22-03 representing the clay zones intersected to date between 300 and 1,280 feet (91.46 to 390.24 metres) and those samples have been submitted to ALS Group USA in Reno, Nevada.

Groundwater samples exhibiting elevated conductivity and total dissolved solids have been collected in several zones beginning at 500 feet (152.44 metres) with the most recent groundwater sample collected at 1,360 feet (414.63 metres). Twenty-three groundwater samples were submitted to Western Environmental Laboratories in Reno, Nevada for analysis.

About the 2022 Gemini Drilling Program

Nevada Sunrise drilled two reverse circulation ("RC") boreholes for a total of 2,020 feet (615.85 metres) in its Phase 1 program at Gemini in March and April 2022. The drill sites were located within a defined gravity low that hosts conductive layers detected by historical ground time domain electromagnetic ("TDEM") surveys. The results from the first two holes at Gemini represented a new discovery of lithium-bearing sediments and a lithium-bearing brine in the western Lida Valley, which has not been historically drill tested for lithium mineralization (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated June 6, 2022).

The Company's Phase 2 drilling program is designed to expand the footprint of the lithium mineralization encountered to date. Following a holiday break in the third week of December, drilling is planned to continue into the First Quarter of 2023. To date, high-grade lithium-bearing sediments have been intersected over a strike length of 1.14 miles (1.83 kilometres) and the current geophysical model suggests the presence of many highly-prospective drill targets at Gemini.

About Gemini

Gemini consists of 582 unpatented placer and lode claims (covering about nine square miles) located in the western Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of the town of Lida, Nevada. The Lida Valley is a flat, arid basin with a similar geological setting to the better-known Clayton Valley basin where Albermarle Corporation operates the Silver Peak lithium brine mine, which has operated continuously since 1966.

Gemini is situated adjacent to the Gold Point Solar Energy Zone, a Bureau of Land Management land reserve set aside for solar and wind power generation projects until 2033. Exploration at Gemini is complemented by the Company's 80.09 acre/feet/year water right, a pre-requisite for the exploration and development of lithium brine projects in Nevada. Under the laws of Nevada, water cannot be pumped from a subterranean source without a valid water permit. Drill pads and access roads are in place at Gemini with an active drilling permit for up to 12 holes, good until July 2024.

Sampling and Analytical QA/QC and Statement of Qualified Person

Sediment samples described in this new release were submitted to American Assay Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada, and analyzed utilizing a multi-element ICP-AES method. Specifically, the analytical method involves aqua regia digestion of the sample followed by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) technique to ionize the sample, and atomic emission spectrometry (AES) to determine elemental concentrations. Duplicates, field blanks, and certified reference standards were inserted at regular intervals in the sample stream to ensure accuracy of the analytical method.

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Robert M. Allender, Jr., CPG, RG, SME and a Qualified Person for Nevada Sunrise as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
