Grid Battery Metals, a leader in mineral exploration and development, recently announced the results of its soil sample testing at the Texas Springs lithium project located in Nevada. Samples showed average lithium grades of 2010 parts per million (ppm), which is considered a preliminary indication of potential lithium-bearing claystones and pegmatites.
The company said these results reflect the potential for discovery and further exploration. With a total area of 3,400 hectares, the Texas Springs project is located within the highly prospective Great Basin lithium trend. To date, only limited surface sampling has taken place.
The positive and unexpected results encouraged the team to sample more deeply in the trenches and target a number of new areas across the claim block. Subsequent field work will include further geophysical surveying and mechanical trenching.
This high-grade lithium shows potential for the Texas Springs project and helps to determine the presence of high-grade zones with future in-fill sampling. As part of the drilling program, Grid Battery Metals will be able to collect enough data to understand the mineralization styles and define drill targets.
Overall, the encouraging soil sample results give Grid Battery Metals the confidence to continue along the path of exploration and drill testing. As lithium demand continues to grow, the Nevada lithium project could become an increasingly crucial source of minerals for a wide range of uses. Moving forward, the company plans to focus on creating a drill-ready target and further, to begin drill testing and full exploration for the Texas Springs project in early 2021.
