NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OTCQB: LTUM
LITHIUM CORPORATION FLUORSPAR EXPLORATION UPDATE
Elko, NV – September 19th, 2024 – Lithium Corporation (OTCQB:LTUM) (“LTUM” or “the Company”), a mineral exploration company focused on energy metals for the North American battery supply chain, is pleased to update investors on exploration activities undertaken over the past several months on the Company’s new Las Pilas prospect.
Earlier in 2024, Lithium Corporation introduced the newly staked Las Pilas property that is prospective for hosting fluorspar mineralization. Fluorspar is critical to a low carbon future as a result of its use in all three main parts of an electric battery: cathode, electrolyte and anode. It is also essential to processing silicon for solar panels.
Since April, the Las Pilas property has more than doubled in size to over 11,000 acres (4,450 hectares) of highly prospective mining lands. As Lithium Corporation’s understanding of controls on mineralization on the property evolved, it became obvious a number of local settings are favorable for hosting mineralization similar to that seen at the nearby past producing Rock Candy fluorspar mine.
Geochemical work has been ongoing and an historic geochemical database was found that augments the work currently being performed in the area. This database was recently digitized and is presently being combined with data generated by Lithium Corporation, along with historic Government Geological Survey data. Combined these data resources are expediting Lithium Corporation’s exploration progress on Las Pilas. Stream sediment data to-date indicates several areas on the property may be prospective for hosting Floride mineralization possibly in association with Nickel/Chromium +/- Rare Earth Elements (REE). This may indicate Floride mineralization hosted in fluorcarbonates similar to that seen at the Mountain Pass REE mine on the border of California and Nevada.
Lithium Corporation is extremely heartened by the results of the Company’s exploration work to-date and looking forward to finishing before the onset of winter. Should Fall 2024 results warrant, a potentially expanded exploration program will be planned for the next field season.
Considered essential to electrification and a low-carbon future, fluorine and its source material fluorspar are classified as ‘critical minerals’ by Governments in both the United States and Canada. Fluorinated compounds have an increasing role in next generation lithium-ion batteries where their presence significantly improves thermal stability in tandem with safety. Similarly, fluorinated compounds have been demonstrated to improve battery performance in sub-zero temperatures. Leading battery industry market intelligence firm Benchmark Minerals reports, “fluorspar demand from the lithium-ion battery sector is expected to exceed 1.6 million tonnes by 2030”.
