Pre-Drilling Exploration Phase To Commence At Thompson Valley Project

VANCOUVER - Ameriwest Lithium Inc. has recently engaged a field crew to be mobilized for its Thompson Valley Lithium Project to begin the Company’s 2023 pre-drilling exploration program phase. The pre-drilling phase includes several tasks and, without limitation, establishing and marking out the boundaries of trails and drill sites for legal, archaeological, and native plant surveys. Once the surveys are complete and prior to trail and drill site construction the Company will submit a Geologic Field Operations Plan to the State of Arizona for approval. Simultaneously the Company is continuing to work on the best possible solution for it’s right-of-way (ROW) which requires State approval and cooperation from private landowners.

David Watkinson, President and CEO, said, “We are excited to initiate the 2023 exploration program at Thompson Valley and look forward to progressing this lithium project as quickly as possible. Subject to the permitting timeline, we expect this to be the first property Ameriwest drills after acquiring three lithium brine properties and two lithium clay properties in Nevada and Arizona in 2021 and 2022. Ameriwest has become one of largest lithium claim holders in Nevada with approximately 50,000 acres of mineral claims staked or acquired.”
