Vancouver, British Columbia, December 14, 2023 – Canter Resources Corp. (CSE:CRC | OTC:CNRCF | FRA:601) (“Canter” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the formal water permits pertaining to Applications 90140 and 92509 have now been issued by the Nevada Division of Water Rights (“NDWR”). This final step in the approval process grants access to appropriate the waters of the State of Nevada, for a total amount of groundwater of 2,235.64 acre-feet annum from the Columbus Salt Marsh Valley Basin, 118 (see news release Nov 28, 2023 for more details).
“We are thrilled to formally have water permits in place that cover the Columbus Lithium-Boron Project and a significantly broader area within the strategically located Columbus Basin,” commented CEO Joness Lang. “This is a major milestone given the water access challenges in the region, and I’d like to personally thank our partners (Craig family) for all of the time and hard work that went into securing these permits.” Mr. Lang added, “We have also engaged SRK to support our permitting work for our initial well drilling and remain on track to commence our Phase I program at Columbus during the first half of Q1/2024.”
The Company recently engaged SRK Consulting (“SRK”) to provide strategic environmental permitting support. Personnel from SRK’s Elko and/or Reno, Nevada offices will be assigned to the Columbus Project with initial steps including the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and permitting for the Company’s highest priority drillhole/well locations.
About the Columbus Lithium-Boron Project
The 23,000-acre and 100%-controlled Columbus Lithium-Boron Project (the “Project”) presents a compelling case for significant lithium mineralization in brines given its strategic location, geological setting, and promising geochemical profile. The Project’s strategic location within the Basin and Range Province is central to the basin’s structural and hydrological closure over the past 23 million years. This unique and distinct structural setting creates a potential reservoir for lithium and boron mineralization. Previous drilling provides evidence of a network of aquifers and Luna Lithium’s drill hole north of the priority target area also returned up to 1,600 ppm lithium in clays. Phase I drilling is set to commence during Q1/2024.
