Spearmint Sends Samples for Metallurgical Testing After Discovering Lithium in
All 10 Holes Drilled on its Lithium Clay Project in Clayton Valley, Nevada
February 12, 2021 - Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF)
(FSE: A2AHL5) (the “Company) is very pleased to announce that samples have now
been sent to McClelland Laboratories Inc. of Sparks, Nevada for the planned metallurgy
on the lithium hosted claystone drilled on Spearmint’s property. Spearmint’s recently
completed 10-hole drill program on its Clayton Valley, Nevada lithium clay project
discovered lithium in every hole, achieving a 100 percent success rate, directly bordering
Cypress Development Corp (CYP-TSX.V). The results from this recent phase of drilling,
combined with assistance from the metallurgist, will now enable Spearmint to
commence the necessary steps towards defining a potential resource
calculation. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in
proximity to Spearmint may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of
mineralization on the Company’s properties.
Spearmint had strong, consistent drill results showing that the lithium is very near the
surface which would be optimal versus deeper projects. Highlights from the 10-hole drill
program included the following results (see map): Assays from drill hole #5 intersected
lithium values as high as 1840 parts per million lithium (ppm Li), averaging 846 ppm Li
over 270 feet, including 35 feet averaging 1,343 ppm Li. Hole #7 reported a high of 1,550
- 2 -
ppm Li, averaging 812 ppm Li over 310 feet, including 55 feet of 1,214 ppm Li. Hole #8
returned a high of 1,280 ppm Li, averaging 723 ppm Li over 205 feet, including 1,036
ppm Li over 35 feet. Hole #6 returned a high of 1490 ppm Li, averaging 966 ppm Li over
220 continuous feet. Hole #9 returned a high value of 950 ppm Li from a total of 155 feet
drilled. Hole #11 returned a high of 1490 ppm Li, averaging 817 ppm Li over 235 feet,
including 110 feet averaging 1020 ppm Li, starting at 20 feet from surface. Hole #12
returned a high of 1370 ppm Li, averaging 1042 ppm Li over 105 feet, starting at 10 feet
from surface. Hole #10 returned a high of 1360 ppm Li. Hole #13 returned a high of 1320
ppm Li, averaging 845 ppm Li over 200 feet, including 70 feet averaging 1026 ppm Li,
starting at 5 feet from surface. Hole #14 returned a high of 1730 ppm Li, averaging 900
ppm Li over 225 feet, including 55 feet averaging 1046 ppm Li, starting at 15 feet from
surface.
James Nelson President of Spearmint Resources stated, "We are excited to take the next
step in the process towards determining a potential resource calculation for our Clayton
Valley Lithium Clay Project in Nevada that directly borders Cypress Development Corp.
(CYP-TSX.v). On February 9, 2021, Cypress announced a $17 million bought deal
offering to further advance it’s Clayton Valley Project, which clearly illustrates the strong
demand of investor interest in this world class lithium district. Spearmint’s recently
completed drill program, that discovered lithium in all 10 out of 10 holes, was drilled
directly into the shared blanket-like claystone deposit where Cypress already has total
measured plus indicated resource estimates of 929.6 million tonnes averaging 1,062 ppm
Li or 5.2 million tonnes LCE, announced on August 11, 2020. Clayton Valley, Nevada
continues to receive significant global attention as the premier lithium address in the USA
hosting the only producing lithium deposit in North America. Lithium prices are rising
on the insatiable demand in batteries for Electric Vehicles and we see no sign of that hyper
growth abating this decade, therefore causing a massive demand for ethically sourced,
domestic lithium production. Spearmint is right now in the best financial shape in the
company's history with zero need or expectation to raise any money in the foreseeable
future. We are moving forward at a rapid rate right now at a time when demand for
lithium is approaching all-time highs. Management is confident about the short and long-
term future of Spearmint.”
