-1976 USGS completed 129 core samples; highest Lithium value was 550 ppm, average 175 ppm

-Spectrographic and atomic-absorption analyses of 135 stream sediment

samples confirmed potential for lithium mineral deposits.

Wilcox Playa -Arizona

-1400 acres on shore of Wilcox Playa - Dry lake bed

-Target is 2500 metres along strike of basin bounding fault, 300 m perpendicular to the fault and 20 m thick

-Strongly clay-altered rhyolite tuff yielded highly anomalous lithium content of 172 ppm.

-Clayton Valley sediments assay between 73 and 220 ppm Lithium

-Hectorite clays from the same late Miocene lacustrine and volcanic strata 40 km east of the target area carry over 2,700 ppm Lithium
