Each of these projects feature an interpreted sub-basin underneath the desert floor.

"The firm plans to submit a drill permit application to the BLM to test for lithium brines with deeper holes than those drilled in the 1970s."

These sub-basins can serve as traps for subterranean aquifers that may contain lithium brines.

The firm said its Aquarius Project has 83 unpatented placer claims totaling 1,660 acres. Located in the Clayton Valley, it is the only producing lithium mine in North America.

It plans to submit a permit application to the US Bureau of Land Management to carry out a drill programme to test for lithium brines at this project. The Clayton Northeast Project has 50 unpatented placer claims totaling 1,000 acres. The firm plans to submit a drill permit application to the BLM to test for lithium brines with deeper holes than those drilled in the 1970s.
