Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate Produced From Bonnie Claire Lithium Deposit, Nevada
Nevada Lithium Resources Inc. and its partner Iconic Minerals Ltd. announced the successful production of marketable battery-grade lithium carbonate from the Bonnie Claire Lithium Project in Nye County, Nevada. This achievement marks a key milestone for the project, showcasing its capability to produce lithium that meets the specifications of leading global producers. The Bonnie Claire Project is recognized as one of North America's largest lithium resources, with a NI 43-101 inferred resource of 3,407 million tonnes grading 1,013 ppm lithium. The company continues to advance metallurgical work to enhance lithium production processes and assess potential byproducts.

Our strategy has been to prove as early as possible that Bonnie Claire could produce a useable lithium component for battery manufacturing. This milestone is a tremendous differentiator in the eyes of lithium end-users and strategic investors. Meanwhile, our metallurgical work has not stopped, and we continue to develop the processes for additional battery grade lithium materials", he added.
"We are moving quickly on many fronts to develop Bonnie Claire, as the desirability of the Project's preferential
The sample (several grams) was produced using composited core material (~30 kg) from drill hole BC2001C, collected from the interval of approximately 90 to 380 ft depth (core length). The material, with a head assay of approximately 1,000 ppm Li, was fed through a calcination and water-leach step, which prevents Fe and other deleterious elements from entering solution, allowing for a simple and straightforward downstream purification circuit to be applicable. The solution was processed through an 'off-the-shelf' commercial purification circuit through to the precipitation of a crude lithium carbonate product, which was then dissolved and recrystallized to produce a marketable
The metallurgical program at Bonnie Claire is ongoing with additional material to be received shortly from the recent coring program. In follow-up testwork, the Company intends to further evaluate processing to a lithium hydroxide product as well as demonstrate the recovery of potential byproducts (e.g., boron, potassium). The metallurgical program has been designed to support a Prefeasibility Study on the Project.

The gravity low that characterizes the valley is approximately 20 km (12 miles) long, and the current estimates of depth to basement rocks range from 600 to 1,200 meters (2,000 to 4,000 feet). The current claim block covers an area of 74 km2 (28.6 mi2) with potential for brine systems and further sediment resources.
