Pure Energy Minerals Clarifies Technical Disclosure
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR
DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES.
DENVER, Jan. 18, 2018 -- Pure Energy Minerals Limited (TSX-V:PE) (OTCQB:PEMIF) (the “ Company” or “Pure Energy ”)
announces that, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, this news release is being issued to
clarify the Company’s disclosure regarding the most recent technical report for the Company’s Clayton Valley lithium project.
The review of the Company’s technical disclosure was commenced in November 2017 at the Company’s request pursuant to
British Columbia Securities Commission Policy BCN 2009-09 in connection with a short form prospectus offering that the
Company was then considering.
On August 10, 2017, the Company filed on SEDAR a technical report dated August 8, 2017 with respect to its Clayton Valley
lithium project (the “ Clayton Valley Technical Report ”). The Clayton Valley Technical Report does not fully comply with
National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects . As a consequence, the Clayton Valley Technical
Report should not be relied upon. The Company is currently revising the Clayton Valley Technical Report and expects a
revised report to be re-filed in the near future.
The revised Clayton Valley Technical Report will provide more details of the risks associated with the Company’s intended use
of technologies in a process flow sheet that have not been previously used on a commercial scale for lithium processing and
the Company’s proposal to build a pilot plant to mitigate those risks as recommended by the independent qualified
professionals advising the Company. It will also discuss in greater detail the basis upon which the Company has concluded
that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction of the resources at the Clayton Valley Project.
Information that currently appears in the Appendices of the Clayton Valley Technical Report will be moved to the body of the
report. A number of other technical changes will also be made to the Clayton Valley Technical Report.
The certificates of the qualified persons who authored the Clayton Valley Technical Report will also be revised and re -filed
when the report is re-filed on SEDAR.
The Company does not anticipate that it will modify the mineral resource estimate or the economic analysis contained in the
current Clayton Valley Technical Report.
