Alset Energy Corp. (TSXV:ION) has completed an option agreement with Ardiden Ltd. for the Wisa Lake lithium project. The property is located 80 kilometres east of Fort Frances, Ont., and accessed by an all-weather road that connects to Highway 11 (Trans-Canada) to the north. Historical work on the project delineated a good-starting deposit with room for expansion and promising lithium grade (see Alset’s press release dated May 30, 2016).

In addition, Alset is pleased to announce the appointment of Albert Wu as the company’s new chief financial officer, replacing Evan Asselstine. With Alset’s President and CEO, and legal counsel currently housed in the Vancouver area, it seemed like a logical time to move our banking and accounting system out to Vancouver. Mr. Asselstine has been instrumental in the Company’s affairs for several years and we wish him well in all his future endeavours.
Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Alset Energy said: “With our focus on our Mexican salars, our board felt it would be better to option out the Wisa Lake Lithium project to get shareholder value. We are delighted that Ardiden sees the same potential on the project as we do. In addition to a historical resource that has never been cut off, the project also has a promising grade and excellent access infrastructure. As well there are untested geochemical anomalies near geological structures that are wide open for exploration. We look forward to Ardiden’s efforts to advance the Wisa Lake Lithium project.”
