ALIX REPORTS 3,762 PPM LITHIUM AT WHITE BASIN, NEVADA
May 15th, 2017, Vancouver, BC, Canada –ALIX RESOURCES CORP. (“Alix” or the
“Company”) (AIX-TSX:V) (37N–FRANKFURT) is pleased to report it has begun exploration at its
100%-held White Basin lithium property in Nevada. The White Basin property includes 25 unpatented
mineral claims comprising 500 acres and is located roughly 75 kilometers northeast of Las Vegas .
Sampling on the property has returned values as high as 3,762ppm Li from six composite samples of
the Horse Spring Formation. The Horse Spring Formation is Oligocene -Miocene in age and includes
clay-rich, altered volcanic units with historic reports of elevated lithium (Brenner-Tourtelot and
Glanzman, 1978, Energy 3, 255-262). Sampling by the Company has confirmed elevated lithium with
results provided in the table below.
