Nevada Lithium Resources Inc. announced that a new seismic reflection survey across portions of the 100% owned Bonnie Claire lithium project (the "Project" or "Bonnie Claire") has commenced. The survey is part of the overall work program designed to support the investigation for potential lithium brines within strata at Bonnie Claire. Lirich brine systems are common in closed basins like Clayton Valley and Bonnie Claire, which display a salar or salt crust.

The brines exist in subsurface aquifers, comprising alluvial gravels and sands (1). Closed-basin brine deposits are commonly localized along active high-angle intrabasinal faults that control the distribution of aquifers and also influence groundwater movement patterns. These intrabasinal faults are known from boreholes and have no surface expression (2).

The survey is intended to model the stratigraphic package at Bonnie Claire and identify potential blind high-angle intrabasinal faults that displace the Bonnie Claire stratigraphic package and may focus Li-rich brine fluid flow. The identification of these faults will guide drill targeting to examine the potential for lithium bearing brines at Bonnie Claire. Munk, et al.
