Albemarle’s Silver Peak lithium brine project
Silver Peak is the only lithium producer in the US and has been in production since the 1960s – making it one of the largest lithium producers in the world
Silver Peak is a geologic and deposit style analogue to the target at the Columbus Lithium-Boron Project and is located only 28 miles away
History
The Columbus basin has seen periodic exploration over the past 150 years starting with a borax brine discovery (1871) and borax mining operations until 1885.
2021 / 2022
De-risked & Discovery-ready
Exploration and drilling has provided significant data to vector into deeper drill targets where higher-grade lithium-boron mineralization is typically found
Proof of concept drill hole (LUN-22- 01)
Averaging ~500 ppm Li (samples ranging from 90 ppm to 1,600 ppm) and 3,446 ppm boron from top-to-bottom (665 meters – assays for clays/sediments only)*
Multi-tiered Brine System
Phased drilling has identified multiple mineralized aquifers and set foundation for drilling structural traps at depth
