The Bonnie Claire East property includes twenty 20-acre placer claims (ACE 1-20), located Jan. 25, 2020, and nineteen 20-acre lode claims (BCE 1-19), re-staked Apr. 12, 2023, covering about 447 acres.
Lithium exploration in the region is expanding rapidly, with active drilling at Bonnie Claire (Lithium Nevada) and Lida Flat (Nevada Sunrise Corp), both reporting lithium in brine and claystone.
Soil sampling in 2019 on Bonnie Claire East by Elmira US showed anomalous lithium (100-160 ppm) from 10 cm deep playa sediment samples.
This aligns with regional lithium trends, supported by NURE stream sediment data indicating higher lithium content trending southeast to northwest through and beyond the Nevada Project area.
Bonnie Claire East Geology
The Bonnie Claire East Lithium property is relatively small at approximately 447 acres but is well located along a distinct regional trend of lithium concentration contained within ash rich, basinal claystone sequences.
In the case of lithium brines, long term production in the region has occurred. Recent new discoveries of lithium in brine have occurred as close as 11 miles from the project. These brine discoveries are occurring in evaporative basin, volcanic ash rich, claystone and mudstone lithologic units below the water table. The Property lies at the SSE end of this developing lithium trend.
Despite the small size of the property, the location of the claims within a developing regional lithium district and trend presents an opportunity for the discovery of claystone or brine hosts lithium mineralization.
