Third Hard-Rock Lithium Project Staked By ULTH
VANCOUVER - United Lithium Corp. has established a large land position in a historic pegmatite mining district in Fremont County, Wyoming. The Company has staked 1,844 hectares (ha) comprising 206 unpatented lode mining claims (1,585 ha) and acquired one state mineral lease (259 ha) 24 kilometres north of the city of Shoshoni. This new project (Freedom Project) hosts numerous lithium and tantalum-bearing pegmatite bodies, several of which have been mined historically for lithium, tantalum, tungsten, beryllium, and feldspar.
Scott Eldridge, President, and CEO stated: “We are pleased to add a third hard-rock pegmatite project to our US portfolio. Similar to the projects in Colorado and South Dakota, this property sits within a historic mining district that hosts an extensive lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatite field.”
A reconnaissance rock chip sampling program was carried out in conjunction with the staking program to provide an initial assessment of known lithium, in addition to possibly identifying new spodumene or lepidolite hosting pegmatites. A total of 184 rock samples were collected, 144 of which are pegmatites and 40 are host rock mica schists or other minor rocks types. Assay results will be reviewed and reported and will be used to design follow up geological mapping and detailed sampling for a program in spring 2024.
The Project area covers public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and one Wyoming state mineral lease. The Company awaits adjudication of the lode mining claims by the BLM.
