Dajin Stakes 690 Placer Claims in Gabbs Valley

Dajin Resources Corp. (TSXV:DJI) has staked 690 placer claims at Gabbs Valley, located north of the Don Campbell geothermal power plant, in Mineral county, Nevada. These placer claims cover 13,800 acres (5,600 hectares) in the lower-elevation western portion of Gabbs Valley where a playa (salar) with surface salt and mud flats occurs.
The Gabbs Valley playa is considered to be a viable prospect for subsurface lithium brines for the following reasons: (1) it is a deep, closed basin in a dry, desert environment, (2) geothermal activity is known to occur on all sides of the playa, including the south end where the operating Don Campbell geothermal power plant is located, and (3) potential lithium source rocks are found throughout much of the catchment basin.
The catchment area of Gabbs Valley is sizeable at 3,295 square kilometres, twice the size of Clayton Valley, which is located approximately 130 kilometres to the south. Clayton Valley hosts North America’s only producing lithium brine operation. Values of up to 720 parts per million lithium in sediments have been publicly reported, but this data has not been confirmed by Dajin, and Dajin has not yet conducted its own sampling program. Auger and/or Geoprobe sampling is planned by Dajin in the coming months to explore for subsurface lithium brines.
At the Teels Marsh lithium brine project, the conclusion of environmental studies and receipt of permits is expected in early 2017, which will allow road construction and drilling to begin shortly thereafter.
The technical information in this press release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements of National Instrument 43-101, and has been reviewed and approved on behalf of Dajin Resources by Dajin directors Dr. Catherine Hickson, PGeo, and Dr. Mark Coolbaugh, CPG, the qualified persons.
