The Company is pleased to announce that it closed the Definitive Agreement on May 12, 2016 with the Vendor respecting the option to purchase a 100% interest in approximately 2,560 acres of placer mining claims in Churchill, Lander and Nye Counties Nevada, USA. These placer mining claims are subject to a 1.5% NSR from commercial production with the Company able to buy back the NSR at the rate of $500,000 per 0.5% NSR.

Since the 1950s 3rd party geological studies and work have provided technical data that several basins in Nevada contain elevated levels of Lithium. Clayton Valley is currently the only Lithium brine producing mining location in America. While doing our due diligence it became apparent that several other closed basins were good exploration candidates with the potential to host brine deposits that, to our knowledge, have never been drilled for lithium.

The Central Nevada Lithium Brine Project covers three basins with elevated surface Lithium (Li) samples that were reported in a 1976 USGS report (Lithium in sediments and rocks in Nevada, 1976, Bohanan and Meier, U.S. Geological Survey). All three basins exhibit six key exploration metrics for the ability to host an enriched Lithium brine deposit:

1) Closed Basin to retain potential Lithium enriched fluid
2) Lithium Bearing Source rocks
3) Geothermal Clusters providing heat source for cycling brine fluids
4) Multiple Tertiary Calderas providing potentially enriched Lithium Ash deposits
5) Gravity Low indicating deep basin for hosting brine aquifers
6) High evaporation to precipitation climate

The claim blocks in each basin are situated over the basin lows and should be situated above any potential Lithium brine deposit. The three basin valleys that the Company has staked claims are Edwards Valley at 418 square miles, Smith Valley at 583 square miles and Big Smoky Valley at 1,315 square miles. For comparison Clayton Valley has a footprint of 566 square miles.

Upon execution of the Definitive Agreement, the Company paid USD$12,000 to the Vendor and issued 3,500,000 shares as directed on closing. In order to earn its 100% interest, the Company is required to make remaining cash payments of USD$33,500 over one year and issue up to an additional 3,000,000 success shares based on the successful drilling of a Lithium enriched brine aquifer with a minimum Lithium average content of 300 ppm over 100 feet of liquid brine reservoir.

The Company looks forward to the exploration and drilling phase on the Central Nevada Lithium Brine Project and providing project updates on a continuous basis as exploration unfolds, said Robert McAllister, President.

The Company announces that the President has exercised 240,000 common stock options at 5 cents each for net proceeds of $12,000 dollars to the Company.
