Victory Acquires Smokey Lithium Project In Nevada

Project in Prime Region for Lithium Clay Deposits - Surrounding Deposits Include Noram, Cypress, American Lithium

Victory Resources Corporation (CSE:VR)(FWB:VR61)(OTC PINK:VRCFF) ("Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's has acquired, in an arms-length transaction, the Smokey Lithium Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, within Big Smokey Valley

The Smokey clay lithium project lies approximately 20 miles north of Clayton Valley, and 20 miles west of American Lithium's flagship lithium project. The property can be accessed just off a main highway and 2-track dirt road. Esmeralda County Nevada is a prolific region for lithium clay deposits, (Noram, Cypress, American Lithium, Spearmint, Enertopia, Jindalee).

Lithium is in high demand for its applications in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for smart phones and electric vehicles amongst others. Smokey Lithium adds a project to Victory's portfolio in a prolific lithium region with respect to clay and brines, adjacent and contiguous to Jindalee Resources Limited (ASX: JRL). Outcropping clay on Jindalee's property demonstrates lithium grades as high as 930 ppm and perhaps trending northwest onto to this property.

Smokey Lithium Project Highlights:

  • 350 claims covering 7000 acres with excellent access and relatively flat ground.
  • Proven regulatory feasibility with many ongoing exploration projects nearby, including, (Noram 166 MT @ 900ppm), (Cypress 593 MT @ 1032 ppm), (American Li 495 MT @ 1000 ppm)
  • Adjacent and contiguous to Jindalee Resources Limited
  • Similar geologic setting as Clayton Valley
  • Intermittent clay outcroppings demonstrate the clay beds extend far and wide.
  • Resource potential in a proven region

Agreement Terms:

The purchase price for the 350 claims:

  • Cash of $178,500
  • Subject to exchange approval, Victory will issue 1,500,000 common shares
  • Subsequent to the Closing and transfer of title, annual BLM fees of $57,750

Victory Battery Metals

Overview

Victory Battery Metals (CSE:VR,FWB:VR61,OTCPINK:VRCFF) is a Vancouver-based junior mining and exploration company operating primarily out of North America. The company recently underwent restructuring and rebranding to pivot to battery metals, recognizing the significant opportunity brought about by the global efforts toward electrification and decarbonization.

As the push for clean energy and the global transition to net-zero continue to ramp up, lithium has never been more important. The burgeoning electric vehicle market exemplifies this, with sales of electric cars topping 6.6 million in 2021 and over 10 million in 2022. On the plus side, this explosive market growth will, according to the International Energy Agency, eliminate the need for roughly 5 million barrels of oil per year by 2030.

Victory’s flagship project, Smokey Lithium, has the distinction of being situated very close to the only lithium-producing silver mine in North America. In addition to Smokey Lithium, Victory maintains five other projects: Stingray Lithium Array in James Bay, Quebec; Georgia Lake Lithium property, Ontario; Tahlo Lake, in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District, British Columbia; Saguenay Nickel Project, Quebec; and Black Diablo Copper and Manganese in Nevada.

Lithium

These projects’ strategic locations in mining-friendly and infrastructure-ready jurisdictions position Victory to not only explore new sources of critical battery metals required to meet the growing demand, but also help disrupt the currently unbalanced supply chain, with China dominating roughly 70 percent of global lithium production despite the fact it only supplies 13 percent of the world's lithium.

Given China's questionable mining practices and propensity for leveraging the global supply chain as a political weapon, the status quo is far from ideal. Unsurprisingly, many countries — Canada and the United States among them — are investing heavily into establishing a domestic lithium supply chain. Victory Battery Metals is ideally positioned to take advantage of these investment efforts.

Company Highlights

  • Recently completed a successful private placement for $2 million, and holds several million dollars in treasury.
  • Smokey Lithium flagship project operates out of Nevada, one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in North America.
  • Victory's primary focus is on bridging the considerable gap between supply and demand, and is benefitting considerably from federal mandates around lithium and critical battery metals production in both Canada and the United States.
  • Work programs are planned for all major assets within the next twelve months.
  • Maintains an incredibly diverse mining portfolio primarily geared towards the needs of the growing electric vehicle market. However, its assets also include precious metals such as gold and silver.
  • Victory is actively working to identify opportunities in regions conducive to mining and geographic locations suited to year-round exploration and development.

Hudbay Reaches a Mutually Agreed Settlement in Longstanding Civil Lawsuits Related to Former Guatemala Operations

Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay" or the "company") (TSX, NYSE: HBM) today announced that it has reached a final settlement with all plaintiffs in three civil lawsuits brought against the company regarding alleged actions that occurred in Guatemala in 2007 and 2009. This settlement concludes all outstanding legal matters related to Hudbay's former activities in Guatemala. Hudbay was named in the civil suits because of its ownership of the Fenix nickel project, which was acquired in 2008. In one of the lawsuits, brought by 11 female plaintiffs, the allegations against the Guatemalan company that owns the project predate Hudbay's ownership. In 2011, Hudbay divested itself of its holdings in Guatemala and has had no operations there since that time.

Ero Copper Reports Temporary Power Disruption at the Tucumã Operation Following Severe Windstorm

Ero Copper Corp. (TSX: ERO, NYSE: ERO) ("Ero" or the "Company") announces that its Tucumã Operation has experienced a temporary power disruption following a severe localized windstorm that occurred in the southwest region of the Carajás Mineral Province in Pará State, Brazil on October 5, 2024.

The regional power grid, including the main 230kV transmission line servicing the region, sustained damage during the storm, resulting in a loss of power to more than 200,000 residents as well as major industrial users. Power has since been fully restored to residential communities and partially restored to industrial consumers. The owner and operator of the transmission line has advised that full power restoration to industrial consumers, including the Company's Tucumã Operation, is expected within two weeks.

Northern Queensland’s Rich Copper Resource

Copper is a versatile metal that has a long list of commercial and industrial uses. Australia has 11 percent of world reserves of copper and the state of Queensland, particularly its northern region, produces more than 20 percent of Australia’s copper output. This high-quality copper is refined to 99.99 percent purity.

As electrification and decarbonization efforts ramp up around the world, Northern Queensland and its rich deposits and well-developed mining infrastructure will continue to be a copper hub. Government programs to bolster copper mining, smelting and refining will support the industry even further.

Copper is considered a critical mineral by many jurisdictions around the world as it’s an essential component in green energy products and infrastructure. Demand for copper is expected to double by 2050, which is triggering investments in copper at all levels of the supply chain worldwide.

5 Best-performing ASX Copper Stocks of 2024

Copper has performed well in the last four years. Most recently, after setbacks at the start of the year, its fortune began to turn and it reached record highs in May.

Prices hit an all-time high on the COMEX of US$5.20 per pound, or US$11,464 per tonne, on May 20 on tightening supply and increasing demand from the transition to renewable energy. In the longer term, many market watchers see low supply and higher usage from sectors like the electric vehicle industry creating a robust outlook.

Although prices for the red metal slid back to the US$4 per pound, or US$8,800 per tonne, level by early August, copper is once again on the rise. There is hope on the horizon of a boost to the global economic economy after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in more than four years, and China has put forth a series of economic support measures.
