ELKO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2019 / Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: LTUM) ("LTUM" or "the Company"), a North American company focused primarily on energy metals for the growing energy storage sector and high tech industries, is pleased to announce that the Hughes lands partnership, Summa, LLC., has recently completed an NI 43-101 compliant report on its Tonopah prospect in Nye County Nevada. Lithium Corporation holds a direct 25% interest in Summa, LLC, and assisted in part in the preparation of the report.
The report, authored by James Chapman PGeo, reviewed much of the past development, production and the data currently on hand regarding the exploration work performed on the package to date. The report indicates that more than 1,000,000 ounces of gold and 100,000,000 ounces of silver were produced between 1901 and 1930 from the more prominent of the various old mines on Summa's 57 patented or fee title claims, 777 acre (314 hectare) property. The report details exploration work performed in the 1970's through the '90's. There are indications that economically significant, previously un-mined vein mineralization, wider zones of disseminated mineralization both near surface and at depth, as well as a low grade Silver - Gold resource contained within the various mine "dumps" and mill tailings all occur on the property. An example of this mineralization is Hole TR-10 from a 1980 drill program which intercepted a 5 foot wide zone of 0.22 oz/ton Au and 18.58 oz/ton Ag within a 20 foot wide zone that graded 0.045 oz/ton Au and 4.24 oz/ton Ag. Mr. Chapman concludes, "In summary, the property has merit as an exploration prospect and also as a possible producer of silver and gold from existing mine dumps and mill tailings, and warrants further study/exploration." A $710,000 budget is proposed for a dual phased exploration program. Phase I would entail further compilation and assimilation of data into a modern data base, modeling, mapping, sampling, auger drilling of the tailings, and metallurgical bench tests. Phase II would be core drilling of targets generated as a result of the Phase I work program.
Both Lithium Corporation and Summa, LLC intend to put the full report on their websites soon.
