Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that it has staked additional claims at its two lithium brine projects in Nevada . The Company owns 100% interests in the Gemini Lithium Project ("Gemini") and the Jackson Wash Lithium Project ("Jackson Wash"), both located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, Nevada .   A total of 40 claims totaling approximately 800 acres (194.25 hectares) were staked in February 2021 to expand the boundaries of Gemini and Jackson Wash.

"The discovery of lithium-bearing brines can present a small footprint, environmentally-friendly method of lithium production in Nevada ," said Warren Stanyer , President and CEO of Nevada Sunrise.  "Our Lida Valley properties are underexplored, and the increased land position from our recent staking covers what we believe are our best lithium brine target areas for future drilling."

 

Exploration at the two projects is complemented by the Company's 80.09 acre/feet/year water right, a pre-requisite for the exploration and development of lithium brine projects in Nevada . Gemini is ideally situated adjacent to the Gold Point Solar Energy Zone, a Bureau of Land Management land reserve set aside until 2033 for potential solar and wind power electrical generation projects.

 

The Lida Valley is a flat, arid basin with a similar geological setting to the better-known Clayton Valley basin where Albermarle Corporation operates the Silver Peak lithium mine, which has operated continuously since 1966. Nevada Sunrise acquired Gemini and Jackson Wash in 2015 by claim staking and purchase by option, respectively. The Company recently initiated a review of historical geophysical and geological data collected at Gemini and Jackson Wash to better define lithium brine targets on the two properties, and awaits the results of an ongoing data compilation.

  About Gemini  

 

Gemini consists of 39 unpatented placer claims totaling 780 acres (315.66 hectares) located in the western Lida Valley, Esmeralda County , approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of the town of Lida, Nevada . Drill pads and access roads are in place at Gemini with an active drilling permit, and the claims are in good standing until September 1, 2021 .

 

Gemini lies within a flat, desert basin that hosts two interpreted sub-basins with a similar geological setting to the Clayton Valley. Previous ground gravity surveys in the Lida Valley area were widely-spaced and limited in scope, however in 2012 and 2013 a geological research team led by Dr. John Oldow of the University of Texas, Dallas collected approximately 500 gravity measurements along 7 transects crossing the Lida Valley. The detailed gravity survey results indicate strong gravity lows at Gemini within two, faulted sub-basins, each interpreted to be hundreds of metres deep. Subsequent ground geophysical surveying at Gemini carried out by Nevada Sunrise in 2016 has outlined conductive zones interpreted as possible brine horizons but remain to be tested by drilling.

 

  About Jackson Wash  

 

Jackson Wash consists of 28 unpatented placer claims totaling approximately 560 acres (226.62 hectares) and is located in the Lida Valley on the east side of the Montezuma Range approximately 13 miles (21 kilometers) southwest of Goldfield.  The Jackson Wash claims are in good standing until September 1, 2021 .

 

Prospecting at Jackson Wash in 2011 discovered widespread deposits of obsidian fragments on the valley floor, possibly derived from Tertiary felsic rhyolite and tuff volcanic rock units present in the Montezuma Range to the north and west of Jackson Wash. Fragments at six locations were sampled and returned lithium values ranging from 97.3 parts per million ("ppm") lithium to 117.0 ppm lithium (R. M. Allender, Jr., 2016). Weathering of the felsic volcanic rocks containing lithium is believed to be a source of lithium contained in subterranean brines, as has been reported in the adjacent Clayton Valley (Price, et al, 2000).

 

The results of a detailed gravity survey and two electromagnetic lines surveyed in 2011 by a previous operator were interpreted as a layered sequence of unconsolidated, saturated alluvial sediments filling a deep basin beneath the valley floor. Nevada Sunrise has developed a drilling plan for the Jackson Wash basin to test specific structural and stratigraphic targets believed prospective for lithium brine deposits.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
