Dajin Resources Corp. (TSXV:DJI,OTCQB:DJIFF,Germany:C2U1) management is pleased to report that Dajin has staked additional ground in the prospective Alkali Lake valley area, also known as Alkali Flats. Eighty-seven (87) new placer claims were staked, covering an area of 1,740 acres (704 hectares). The additional claims bring Dajin’s 100% owned property in the Alkali Lake area up to 278 claims with a total acreage of 5,591 acres (2,262 hectares).
Previously Dajin carried out a gravity survey in the Alkali Lake valley that confirmed the expanded claim area is underlain by a circular basin estimated at 4,000 feet in depth (1,200 metres). The gravity survey also identified a second basin approximately 3 kilometres to the east. The two basins are separated by a northwest – southeast trending geological structure likely related to the Walker Lane Shear Zone. The depth of the eastern basin ranges from 3,000 to 4,000 feet (1,000 – 1,200 metres).
Surface sampling in March and April, 2015, confirmed the presence of near surface lithium-bearing sediments in the western basin. No further work has been carried out in Alkali Lake valley while Dajin focused exploration on the Teels Marsh valley, where preparations for road and drill pad construction are currently underway.
Dajin’s work in Alkali Lake valley has focused on moving forward with the water right application that it originally filed for in 2015. Dajin has retained the services of Mr. Chris Mahannah, P.E., of Mahannah and Associates, LLC, Reno, Nevada, to work with Esmeralda County and the Town of Goldfield to address the concerns they raised. Additionally, Chris Mahannah and Dajin Directors Dr. Catherine Hickson and Dr. Mark Coolbaugh met with Esmeralda County and Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR) elected officials and staff to inform them that Dajin would be seeking a non-consumptive water right with a small consumptive portion which would not result in any significant additional consumption from the valley. Dajin, Esmeralda and NDWR continue to work toward resolution of the protest issues such that the water rights can be issued.
Alkali Lake valley is situated approximately 7.5 miles (12 kilometres) east-northeast of Albemarle’s Silver Peak lithium mine, the only producing brine-based lithium mine in operation in North America. In addition, the Alkali Lake claims are 12 miles (20 kilometres) east-northeast of Pure Energy’s Clayton Valley project. Like Clayton Valley, Alkali Lake valley is a classic, fault bounded closed basin with an internal drainage system.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and has been reviewed and approved on behalf of Dajin Resources Corp. by Dajin Directors, Dr. Catherine Hickson, P. Geo and Dr. Mark Coolbaugh, CPG, the Qualified Persons.
