Dajin Expands Sampling at Teels Marsh
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 27, 2016 - Dajin Resources Corp. ("Dajin") (TSX-V:DJI) (OTC:DJIFF) (Frankfurt: A1XF20) is pleased to announce that it has completed additional subsurface auger sampling at its 100% owned Teels Marsh Lithium project located in Mineral County, Nevada.
During April, a team from Nevada Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:NGE), Nevada's premier hydro geochemistry exploration company, was in the field at Teels Marsh. The team, headed by Ken Tullar, carried out the collection of subsurface brine samples by auger at the western end of the playa. These samples (taken from auger holes as deep as 12.5 feet (3.8 meters)) serve a dual purpose. The first is to confirm the anomalous Lithium brine concentrations discovered during the surface sampling program in late 2014; and the second is to test the sampling protocol to be deployed in Dajin's San Jose Project in Argentina. Dajin Director, Dr. Mark Coolbaugh, P.Geo. was on-site to observe the sampling and collection process.
During Dajin's 2014 sampling campaign, Lithium in brine was found in concentrations of up to 70 ppm at a depth of 6 feet (2 meters) along with values as high as 460 ppm Lithium in sediment samples (of the 74 sample locations tested in 2014: 28 sediment samples returned values higher than 150 ppm and 23 samples ranged between 100 - 149 ppm Lithium). Sampling by the USGS (and reported in USGS Open-File report 1976-567), reported values as high as 850 ppm in sediment from the area where Dajin concentrated this sampling campaign. Samples have been sent for assay to laboratories in Canada and Nevada. Commercial laboratory assay results should be available within the next few weeks.
In Canada, Dajin is working with Dr. Pierre Kennepohl, University of British Columbia, under a National Science and Engineering Council of Canada ENGAGE grant to refine the sampling and analytical protocols for Lithium brines. Duplicate samples have been forwarded to Dr. Kennepohl's lab for analysis.
The technical information in this press release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and has been reviewed and approved on behalf of Dajin Resources Corp. by Dajin Direct, Dr. Catherine Hickson, P.Geo., a Qualified Person.
About Dajin: (www.dajin.ca)
Dajin is an early stage energy metals exploration company holding a 100% interest in 265 placer claims known to contain Lithium and Boron values in the Teels Marsh region of Mineral County, Nevada. These claims, which cover 5,282 acres (2,138 hectares), are the birth place of US Borax Corp's first borax mine. Dajin also holds claims in the Alkali Lake region of Esmeralda County, Nevada. Dajin has entered into an option agreement with Nevada Energy Metals Inc. (TSX-V:BFF) to explore their 191 placer claims covering 3,851 acres (1,558 hectares) in this region, 7 miles (12 kilometers) northeast of Rockwood's Clayton Valley Lithium operations.
Dajin also holds a 100% interest in concessions or concession applications in Jujuy Province, Argentina that were acquired in regions known to contain brines with Potassium, Lithium and Boron values. These concessions total approximately 93,000 hectares (230,000 acres) and are located in the Salinas Grandes/Guayatayoc salt lakes basin adjacent to concessions held by Orocobre Ltd. (TSX-T:ORL), who is partnered with Toyota Tsusho. In July, 2015, Dajin executed an agreement with the Tres Morros Cooperativa for exploration of the San Jose Project consisting of 4,400 hectares (10,873 acres) of mineral concessions (San Jose and Navidad) within the Salinas Grandes salar.
