FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OTCQB: LTUM
Elko, NV – March 22, 2018 – Lithium Corporation (OTCQB:LTUM) (“LTUM” or “the Company”), a North American company focused on energy metals for the growing energy storage sector and high tech industries, is pleased to announce that on March 15, 2018 Judge Wanker of the Fifth Judicial District Court in Tonopah Nevada ruled in favor of Lithium Corporation’s partly owned subsidiary Summa, LLC. This ruling reaffirmed that the title to Summa’s mineral lands in Nye County is sound, and that there is no reasonable challenge in law to our ownership (through Summa) of these lands.
As previously mentioned in our press release dated May 18, 2015, “The Nye county lands include the Tonopah project, where feasibility studies done in the 1980’s on behalf of Houston Oil and Minerals Corporation (HIMCO), and their successor Tenneco Minerals determined that our current property package contains an indicated resource in the order of 1,458,235 tons of tailings containing 2,067,461 ounces silver, and 15,137 ounces of gold, and a further 2,175,630 tons on various dumps containing 3,453,398 ounces of silver and 28,534 ounces of gold. The 1980 HIMCO report determined that using $16 silver and $600 gold a 1000 tpd cyanide plant which would operate for 7 ½ years while running the tailings and the dumps, would generate $4 million in gross revenue per year, or $2.2 million after tax (not including depreciation of capital costs etc.). Also it is believed that mining in the early 1900’s focused on extracting only ‘high-grade’ ore so the property may be extremely prospective for hosting what could be considered currently economic mineralization that may be easily accessible in the old workings. In keeping with the old adage that ‘The best place to find a new mine is near an old mine’ it is believed that the property still holds great promise for the discovery of additional resources in new locations.”
The Tonopah camp has recently sprung to life again with West Kirkland Mining continuing to consolidate its land picture here, and move its properties towards production. The Company is pleased with the result of the court challenge, and is presently considering entering into a joint venture arrangement on this prospect in a greatly revitalized and exciting mining camp.
