Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 7, 2023) - Iconic Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: ICM) (OTC: BVTEF) (FSE: YQG) ("Company" or "Iconic") is pleased to announce its acquisition of the Grass Valley Lithium Property ("Grass Valley" or "Property") located in Lander County, Nevada.

溫哥華,不列顛哥倫比亞省-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年9月7日)-ICICON Minerals Ltd.(TSXV:ICM)(場外交易代碼:BVTEF)(FSE:YQG)(“公司“或”標誌性的“)欣然宣佈收購草谷鋰產業(”草谷“或”屬性“)位於內華達州蘭德縣。

Grass Valley Project

草谷專案

The Property is located within Grass Valley, Nevada, and is approximately 64 kilometers ("km") (40 miles) long and 29 km (18 miles) wide. The Grass Valley basin has characteristics in common with lithium brines within structural basins worldwide: 1) arid climate, 2) closed basin, 3) associated volcanic or geothermal activity, 4) adequate felsic source rocks, 5) suitable local structural faulting due to regional tectonics, 6) adequate hydrologic system including subsurface aquifers, and 7) sufficient duration of time under arid conditions to concentrate lithium. Geochemical sampling of sediments in Grass Valley returned highly anomalous lithium values up to 510 ppm, which affirms the presence of prospective lithium within the Grass Valley basin. The combined magnetic, gravity, and resistivity data show a well-defined, extensive basin with accumulated alluvium 600 to +1,070 meters (2,000 to +3,500 feet). thick. The current 997 placer claim block covers an area of 80 km2 (31 mi2) with potential for brine systems as well as sediment resources.

該物業位於內華達州草谷,長約64公里,寬約29公里。草谷盆地與世界各地構造盆地中的鋰鹵水具有共同的特徵:1)乾旱氣候,2)封閉盆地,3)伴生的火山或地熱活動,4)充足的長英質烴源巖,5)由於區域構造而產生的適當的局部構造斷裂,6)充足的水文系統,包括地下含水層,以及7)在乾旱條件下有足夠的時間來濃縮鋰。草谷沉積物的地球化學採樣結果顯示,鋰的高度異常值高達百萬分之510ppm,這證實了草谷盆地中可能存在鋰。綜合的磁力、重力和電阻率數據顯示了一個定義明確的廣泛盆地,累積的沖積層為600至+1070米(2000至+3500英尺)。厚厚的。目前的997砂體索賠區塊覆蓋了80公里的區域2.(31英里)2.)具有開發鹵水系統和沉積物資源的潛力。

To acquire the property, the Company paid the current year's claims fees of US$177,231 to government authorities in Nevada and assumed an NSR of 3%. The property was acquired from a company related to Iconic by a common director.

為了收購該物業,本公司向內華達州政府當局支付了本年度的索賠費用177,231美元,並假設淨資產收益率為3%。該房產是由一家普通的董事從一家與ICICON相關的公司手中收購的。

An NI 43-101 Technical report was completed in January 2022 on the Property and approximately USD $1,086,663 has been spent to date on exploration and development of the Property, which included drilling and Magnetotellurics (MT) Surveys.

有關該物業的NI 43-101技術報告已於2022年1月完成,迄今已花費約1,086,663美元用於該物業的勘探和開發,包括鑽探和大地電磁(MT)勘測。

Richard Kern, CEO of Iconic, comments: "The Grass Valley Basin has a large area underlain by what our geophysicist calls brine not dissimilar to our Smith Creek Lithium Project. We are very excited to move forward with both of these lithium brine projects on a 100 percent owned and controlled basis. Additional work to further define and rank drill targets is planned before drill testing at Grass Valley and Smith Creek. This work should define high angle faults and permeable horizons capable of hosting lithium-rich fluids or sediments."

ICONIC首席執行官理查德·科恩評論道:草谷盆地有一大片區域被我們的地球物理學家所說的鹵水所覆蓋,這與我們的Smith Creek鋰專案沒有什麼不同。我們非常高興能在100%擁有和控制的基礎上推進這兩個鋰鹽水專案。在草谷和Smith Creek進行鑽探測試之前,計劃進行進一步定義和排序鑽探目標的額外工作。這項工作應該確定能夠容納富鋰流體或沉積物的高角度斷層和可滲透層位。

Smith Creek Project

Smith Creek專案

The Company has terminated the option agreement (the "Option") with Lithium of Nevada Pty Ltd. ("LON") a private Australian company, whereby Iconic's wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary had granted LON the Option to earn up to a 50% interest in Iconic's Smith Creek lithium project ("Smith Creek"). The Company terminated the Option with LON in order to build better value for its shareholders through the retention of owning 100 percent of Smith Creek. It is the Company's desire to continue the exploration and development of both Smith Creek and Grass Valley on a 100 percent owned and controlled basis.

本公司已終止購股權協定(“選擇權“)與內華達Lithium Pty Ltd.(”)一家澳大利亞私營公司,根據該公司的全資擁有的內華達州子公司,LON有權獲得該公司Smith Creek鋰專案高達50%的權益(“史密斯克裡克“)。公司終止了與LON的選擇權,以便通過保留Smith Creek 100%的所有權為其股東創造更好的價值。公司希望在100%擁有和控制的基礎上繼續勘探和開發Smith Creek和Grass Valley。

About the Grass Valley Project

關於草谷專案

The Grass Valley Property is a lithium exploration project consisting of 997 placer claims covering an area of 80 km2 (31 mi2). Located approximately 60 km (36 miles) northeast of Austin, Nevada, the property expresses indicators of a potential lithium brine system. The large, enclosed basin is surrounded by mountains with ample felsic volcanics and intrusives, has active hot spring systems on 3 sides of the valley, and surface salt lithium assays as high as 510 ppm Li.

草谷地產是一個鋰勘探專案,由997個砂礦主張組成,佔地80公里2.(31英里)2.)。該地產位於內華達州奧斯汀東北約60公里(36英里)處,顯示出潛在的鋰鹽水系統的跡象。這個巨大的封閉盆地被山脈包圍,有大量的長英質火山岩和侵入岩,山谷的三面都有活躍的溫泉系統,地表鹽鋰含量高達510ppm的Li。

The Grass Valley Property has near ideal indicators of lithium brine potential. The claims staked on this very long playa are surrounded by the zones of active hot spring activity and the high surface salt lithium values. The basin drains an area of 595 square miles, slightly larger than Clayton Valley.

草谷地產擁有近乎理想的鋰鹵水潛力指標。在這個非常長的遊樂場上,被活躍的溫泉活動區和高表面鹽鋰值所包圍。該盆地的排水面積為595平方米英里,略大於克萊頓山谷。

Exploration to date of this very large basin has been comprised of surface sampling, an MT survey and one drill hole. The MT survey, run by Fritz Geophysics, shows an interpreted major brine zone extending from approximately 500 meters (1,600 feet) to over 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) below the surface. A core hole was drilled in 2022, but was lost before reaching the brine zone. Sediments in the drill hole show evidence of bleaching indicating lithium may have been leached and mobilized in groundwaters.

到目前為止,對這個非常大的盆地的勘探包括地面採樣、大地電磁測量和一個鑽孔。由弗裡茨地球物理公司進行的MT調查顯示,解釋的主要鹹水區從地表以下約500米(1600英尺)延伸到超過1000米(3300英尺)。2022年鑽了一個岩心孔,但在到達鹹水區之前就不見了。鑽孔中的沉積物顯示出漂白的證據,表明鋰可能在地下水中被淋溶和活化。

About the Smith Creek Project

關於Smith Creek專案

The Smith Creek Project is located within Smith Creek Valley in Nevada, which is approximately 60 km (37 miles) long and 16 km (10 miles) wide. Quartz-rich volcanic tuffs containing anomalous amounts of lithium occur within and adjacent to the valley.

Smith Creek專案位於內華達州的Smith Creek山谷內,該山谷長約60公里(37英里),寬16公里(10英里)。富含石英的火山凝灰岩含有異常數量的鋰,產於山谷內和附近。

Surface sampling around hot springs on patented ground just off the claim block assayed a maximum of 470 ppm Li. The gravity low within the valley is 16 km (10 miles) long, and the current estimates of depth to basement rocks range from 1,300 to 1,500 meters (4,200 to 5,000 feet). The current claim block covers an area of 67 km2 (26 mi2) with potential for brine systems as well as sediment resources.

在離索賠區塊不遠的專利場地上,溫泉周圍的地表採樣檢測到最高含量為470ppm的Li。山谷內的重力低有16公里(10英里)長,目前對基底岩石深度的估計從1300米到1500米(4200英尺到5000英尺)。目前的索賠區塊面積為67平方公里(26英里)2.)具有開發鹵水系統和沉積物資源的潛力。
