Creek Lithium Project in Elko County, Nevada
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 28, 2025) -
Sienna Resources Inc. (TSXV:
SIEN) (OTCID: SNNAF) (FSE: A418KR) (the "Company" or "Sienna")
is pleased to announce that
it has entered into an options agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Cave Creek Lithium Project,
in Elko County, Nevada (the "Project"). This strategic property consists of 61 contiguous claims totalling
approximately 1,230 acres and is positioned directly on the western border of Surge Battery Metals'
("Surge") Nevada North Lithium Project
–
a rapidly emerging, high-grade lithium claystone discovery.
Surge recently reported an updated Inferred Resource of 8.65 million tonnes of lithium carbonate
equivalent (LCE) (see Surge Battery Metals news release dated July 24, 2025). With Cave Creek
bordering this significant lithium deposit, Sienna is targeting the same lithium-bearing stratigraphy that
underpins one of the most exciting new lithium discoveries in North America.
Surge's Nevada North project has attracted widespread attention due to its significant lithium grades,
including reported drill hole intercepts of 42.7 metres averaging 4,067 ppm lithium, with peak values of
8,070 ppm lithium. Its 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines a long-life operation
extracting 205 million tonnes of mineralized material over 42 years, with peak production of 109,100
tonnes of LCE per year. These results underscore the massive potential of lithium-rich claystone
deposits in this region.
Sienna's Cave Creek Project, while geologically independent from its nearby Elko Lithium Project, is
ideally located to benefit from the proven mineralization trend extending from Surge's property. With
growing global demand for domestic lithium supply and advancements in clay-hosted lithium extraction
technologies, Sienna is well-positioned to contribute meaningfully to the U.S. critical minerals supply
chain.
Jason Gigliotti, President of Sienna Resources Inc., stated, "This new acquisition positions Sienna as
one of the largest landholders in this rapidly emerging lithium district. Surge Battery Metals has
delineated one of the highest-grade lithium deposits in the United States, and our newly acquired Cave
Creek Project directly borders their property – potentially along the same mineralized trend. Lithium
prices are currently trading at year-to-date highs, and there has been a marked resurgence of interest in
lithium equities. With just over 25 million shares outstanding, Sienna offers shareholders substantial
upside leverage to any exploration success on the ground. We believe the renewed focus on lithium will
only accelerate as broader markets begin to grasp the explosive growth potential tied to self-driving
technologies and robotics-sectors heavily reliant on lithium-ion batteries. Management is confident that
Sienna is entering the early stages of a major news flow and marketing cycle, and we want our
shareholders to clearly understand our commitment to building long-term value."
