About Clayton Valley LithiumProject
The Company owns a 100% interest in 113 lithium lodeand placer claims covering over 640 hectares in Clayton Valley.Clayton Valley is a down-dropped closed basin formed by the Mioceneage Great Basin extension and is still active due to movement alongthe Walker Lane structural zone. As a result, the basin haspreserved multiple layers of lithium bearing volcanic ash, resultingfrom multiple eruptive events over the past 6 million years includingeruptions from the 700,000-year-old Long Valley Caldera system andrelated events. These ash layers are thought to contribute to thelithium brines extracted by Albemarle and are also likely involved inthe formation of the exposed lithium rich clay deposits on the eastside of Clayton Valley.
