Elko, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - September 14, 2021) - Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: LTUM) ("LTUM" or "the Company"), a North American corporation focused on energy metals for the growing energy storage sector and high-tech industries, wishes to update their shareholders with respect to recent events.
Negotiations continue with respect to the creation of a definitive option agreement with Altura Mining Limited regarding our Fish Lake Valley property. Progress on that account is slower than normal, mainly due to cross jurisdictional and regulatory issues; however, we continue to make progress with Altura paying all costs currently to maintain title to the land package. We fixed August 17th as the effective date of the agreement, and October 15th as the deadline for the consummation of the definitive agreement with interest accruing on the share portion of the consideration due to Lithium Corporation at a rate of 2.5% per month thereafter, should it not come to pass. The size of Lithium Corporation's mineral holdings at Fish Lake Valley has increased to approximately 6,800 acres (2,750 hectares), expanding the parcel to include a deeper, as yet untested paleobasin target.
Earlier in the summer Lithium Corporation submitted a sample of a low grade (33 mg/l) lithium enriched brine to Recion Technologies Inc. for bench tests to determine how amenable the Fish Lake Valley brine is to their proprietary Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process. Initial tests were positive with recoveries of up to 96% lithium at bench scale, with only modest consumption of ion exchange media. Lithium Corporation is pleased with these preliminary results, and LTUM and Altura are currently discussing the possibility of doing more bench scale tests on the higher-grade brines that occur on the prospect, with an eye to eventually prove the economic feasibility of using Recion's DLE process for extracting Lithium from our Fish Lake Valley brines.
At the Yeehaw prospect the Company identified areas to the west off the existing claim block which are possibly prospective for hosting Rare Earth Element +/- Titanium mineralization similar to that seen on our earlier acquired claims. An additional 1,255 acres (508 hectares) have been staked bringing our total holdings in this area to approximately 3,424 acres (1,385 hectares).
Lithium Corporation continues to evaluate and develop other Lithium/hi-tech/battery metals prospects and encourages all submissions from parties that hold prospective lands. The Company remains bullish on the short, medium and long term markets for energy metals, and is continually striving to position itself to benefit from such a robust market environment.
