San Emidio

Lithium Corporation conducted sediment sampling in 2010 at the San Emidio property which delineated a moderately strong lithium anomaly. This was followed by a brine sampling program during the spring/summer of 2011, where anomalous lithium values were detected. The highest lithium value during this program was 80 mg/L. The lithium-in-brine anomaly is roughly 1 1/2 mile long & 1/2 mile wide, and is presently still open-ended. A gravity geophysical survey run over the property indicates the brine anomaly occurs on the west side of a basinal low. The proximity to a feature of this nature is one of the criteria that appears necessary for the formation of a “Silver Peak” style lithium-brine deposit.

Logistics are excellent in the San Emidio valley, with roads, power, a local labor force, and cell phone service. Lithium Corporation drilled this property in January, and November of 2012.  The best two holes returned 21.4, and 23.7 mg/L lithium, with high calcium, and potassium values, and moderate boron and magnesium values. The company outlined a strong Northeasterly trending lithium anomaly here, and ran a Controlled Source Audio Frequency Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) in October 2022 in an effort to better understand the nature of this anomaly and see if it could be used as a predictive tool in determining if and where more robust mineralization might be encountered at depth.

In November 2022, a mini-bulk sample from San Emidio was shipped to Recion Technologies in Edmonton, Canada, for initial bench tests to determine its amenability to Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) using Recion’s proprietary technology.
