GMV Minerals Options Announces Offering of Daisy Creek Lithium Project and Units in North Central Nevada
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 16, 2023)- GMV Minerals Co., Ltd. (TSXV: GMV) (OTCQB: GMVMF) (“company” again “Gross distribution“) announces that it has entered into an option agreement effective May 15, 2023 (“)Option contractPartnership with “) Western Property Holdings, LLC (“)option“) to get the exclusive option (“option“) 1,694.12 acres (“Daisy Creek Lithium Property“).
The Daisy Creek Lithium Property is located in Lander County in north-central Nevada. The property is located close to several working gold mines and has close access to power, water and paved highways. The area was owned by Phillips Uranium in the early 1970s, and uranium was mined by several oil and mining companies (“Phillips“) Excavated in 1977 and used by prominent Nevada geologist Clancy Wendt (“) in the 1980s.Wendt“) was adopted by Philips.
Drilling by Phillips identified lithium, but not uranium, in at least two boreholes in clay-altered volcanic tuff, with Li values up to 2%. In a February 26, 2023 letter provided by Wendt, he said, “The company has conducted a substantial analysis of the occurrence to identify the source of the lithium. All drill additives, oils and greases used have been sampled and tested and have found no problems.” It did not return.The company noted that the lithium was likely contained in hectorite, a lithium-bearing clay mineral found in altered volcanic tuff.”** Note: These are past results. and are not subject to the QA/QC standards required by NI 43-101. These are believed to be accurate and are reported for historical purposes only.
The geology of the project is described by Stewart and McKee (1977) in NBM Bulletin 8, “Geology and Mineral Deposits of Lander County, Nevada.” The mountains consist mainly of early Miocene (23.6 – 24.5 My) tuff. This unit is crystal-rich ash flow tuff up to 3,000 feet thick. This formation covers about 200 square miles and has not been found outside the mountains of the Daisy Creek area. Within this volcanic complex, recessions of magma, rift or collapse-type structures probably associated with the apex graben, have developed. Since the initial collapse, the basin has gradually filled with an unknown thickness of clastic rock, most of which is finely-laminated tuff, likely the source of the anomalous lithium levels. The boundary of this northwesterly tectonic controlled graben is defined by mountain tuff and ranges from steep (fault) to shallow (inconformable). The basin in which the Daisy Creek project is located spans about 18 square miles and is mostly composed of fissile, finely-laminated sediments. namely, mudstone, claystone, and tuff. The basin is characterized by low relief bordered by steep terrain supported by volcanic tuff. Several small drainage channels traverse the basin, providing a detailed view of the basin’s stratigraphy. Quaternary basalt flows flow over the prominent hills of the basin.
“We are delighted to add another high-value property to our firm,” said President Ian Klassen. We think it’s a notable addition and recognize Wendt as a prominent geologist.” In Nevada, we are very excited to continue our field work on the Daisy, sharing what we have seen at Daisy Creek and Lithium America’s burgeoning Tucker Pavilion in McDermitt Caldera, Nevada. I noted the similarities with pathfinding. Li values up to 20,000 ppm are attractive to say the least. ”
