Permit Received For Gemini Lithium Project
VANCOUVER - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. has received an amended exploration permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the Gemini Lithium Project, located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The amended permit increases the number of proposed borehole locations to twelve (12), which includes the two successful boreholes that intersected significant lithium values drilled during the maiden drilling program. Gemini is now fully permitted and bonded for a Phase 2 drilling program. The program, which is expected to begin in early September 2022 with up to six boreholes are planned for an estimated total of 8,000 feet (2,439 meters) of drilling. The exploration goal for the Phase 2 program is to drill to greater depths in order to fully explore the continuity of wide zones of lithium-bearing clays and water intersected in boreholes GEM22-01 and GEM22-02.
"Nevada Sunrise is fortunate to have secured not only the necessary permits and approvals for our next phase of exploration at Gemini but also to contract a highly-qualified drilling company for the work," said Warren Stanyer, President and CEO. "We are eager to return to Gemini in September and follow up on our new lithium discovery in the Lida Valley."
