Vancouver, British Columbia – April 6, 2021 – OrganiMax Nutrient Corp.
(“OrganiMax” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: KMAX / FSE: L3U / OTC: BNJRF) is pleased to
welcome Darrell Podowski to the Board of Directors of the Company.
Darrell Podowski has over 28 years of international experience in the mining industry and is highly
regarded as one of the top mining lawyers globally. Darrell was previously in-house corporate
counsel to Teck Resources Limited, and is currently one of the key M&A lawyers for Antofagasta
Minerals SA and Freeport-McMoRan Inc. for each of their respective worldwide project
acquisitions and exploration projects. He currently is a partner with the national law firm Cassels
Brock & Blackwell LLP, and previous to that, he was a lawyer at a number of other major law
firms, including one off-shore. Darrell has acted for numerous junior, mid level and senior mining
companies during his legal career. Prior to his legal career, he was an oil and gas exploration
geophysicist with Amoco Canada Petroleum Company.
Brandon Rook, CEO commented, “We are extremely pleased to have Darrell join the company at
its infancy of growth. Darrell will assist and advise significantly as the Company looks to build
out its Silver Valley, Idaho footprint from the company’s well positioned, and highly prospective
brownfield exploration project located next to Bunker Hill Mine on one side and the Page Mine
on the other.”
Lastly, Organimax has granted an aggregate of 300,000 share purchase options with an exercise
price of 25 cents per share and a term of five years. The new grant is subject to TSX Venture
Exchange approval.
About OrganiMax Nutrient Corporation:
Silver Valley, Idaho Project:
Key investment highlights of the project include:
• The Government Gulch Silver project comprise 403 acres of patented lode claims; 5
historic mines and highly prospective unexplored areas.
• No Federal permitting required; permitting with the State of Idaho is straightforward with
patented claims.
• Modern systematic exploration and drilling has never been applied to the project.
• Two major mines (Bunker Hill and Page) located adjacent and contiguous to the
project at both the west and east boundaries historically mined into the Government Gulch
project area.
• The Page Mine sourced ore grade mill feed from Government Gulch for 21 years but never
mined deeper than 1200 feet below elevation; significantly, the Page Mine was developed
to the 3400-foot level.
• The other 4 mines at Government Gulch produced ore from near surface to 200 feet below
surface.
• All previously mined areas remain open at depth and along strike – the geology of the
Silver Valley is known for vein structures trending deeply if not cut-off by faulting (the
adjacent Bunker Hill mined to 5,800 feet below surface and Hecla’s Lucky Friday Mine is
mining today 10,000+ feet below surface).
• No pre-existing royalties.
• A 100-year detailed map folio from Government Gulch, the Page Mine and Bunker Hill
Mine will be incorporated into a 3-D geological model that will add significant value to
future exploration and development of the project.
Despite the project being located between two prolific past producing mining properties, the
project has remained unavailable for exploration and development over the past 80 years due to
claim boundary issues between Bunker Hill Mining and ASARCO (Page mine), as well as the
subsequent transfer of the property to the EPA and the closure of the area for mining in the late
1970’s.
Lithium-Sulphate of Potash (SOP) project in Mexico:
OrganiMax Nutrient Corp has a 100%-owned lithium and potassium bearing salar complex of
mineral concessions in the Central Mexican Plateau located in the states of Zacatecas, and San
Luis Potosi. Regional geophysical work has indicated that the depths of the salar basins may be
much greater than previously thought, making the salars highly prospective for large brine aquifers
to be discovered at depth. The Company is targeting Sulfate of Potash (SOP) and Lithium
Carbonate (LCE) and boron for both the domestic and international markets.
The Company has announced a maiden sediment mineral resource estimate (MRE) of both lithium
and potassium at its three salars. Highlights include:
• 120 million tonnes (Mt) of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 4.6% potassium (K) and
380 ppm lithium (Li);
• A continuous high-lithium portion of La Salada salar containing 7 Mt grading 1,490 ppm
Li
• A contained 12.3 million tonnes (Mt) of Sulfate of Potash (SOP) and 243,000 tonnes of
lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE);
• Sampling is restricted to 5 metre depths in most areas therefore there is good exploration
potential to increase the Mineral Resource at depth and also extending the sampling to the
edge of the salar basins where sampling has not taken place;
• Geophysical surveys completed suggest there is potential for additional similar layers of
potassium or lithium enriched material to be found under the current pitting/drilling.
• Recent regional geophysical work has indicated that the depths of the salar basins may be
much greater than previously thought, making the salars highly prospective for large brine
aquifers to be discovered at depth.
