Victory Finalizes Prime Locations for Drill Holes on Its Smokey Lithium, Nevada Property
Victory Resources Corporation has completed an on-site geological program to finalize drill hole locations for its Smokey Lithium Property in Nevada. This initiative builds on previous results that indicated significant lithium mineralization. Drill holes have been strategically selected to extend findings from earlier drilling, particularly from hole 09, which encountered strong lithium mineralization at 417 feet. The company plans to amend its drill permit application to include these new drill sites, aiming to deepen its understanding of the area's mineral potential.
- Completion of geological program to finalize drill hole locations.
- Strategic selection of drill holes to extend strong lithium mineralization encountered previously.
- Amendment of drill permit application to include new high-quality drill targets.
- None.
- Victory's Exploration Team has completed an on-site geological program to finalize the location of drill holes, building upon its previously reported comprehensive effort to delineate significant lithium mineralization on the Smokey Lithium Property
- Drill hole locations have been selected to extend strong lithium mineralization intersected previously on the property in hole 09 within the area of interest outlined in detail in the Company's press release dated 20 October 2022
- The Company will be amending its drill permit application with the newly identified hole locations in this new area of interest contiguous with the southwest part of the original claim block
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2022 / Victory Resources Corporation (CSE:VR)(FWB:VR61)(OTC PINK:VRCFF) ("Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's exploration team has completed an on-site geological program to finalize the location of drill holes on its Smokey Lithium, Nevada property, building upon the results from its comprehensive work to delineate the extent of lithium mineralization on Smokey Lithium grounds.
The Company is now in the process of amending its drill permit application to include the new high quality drill targets. The proposed program seeks to extend strong lithium mineralization intersected previously on the property's hole 09, which was ended in strong, claystone hosted, lithium mineralization at 417 feet.
"As previously reported, the exploration work conducted has been extensive, taking the necessary time to truly understand the resource potential in order to identify the best possible drill target intercepts for us to pursue at Smokey Lithium toward establishing the maiden resource potential of the property," said Victory President and CEO, Mr. Mark Ireton. "Now that the data has been processed and assessed on the ground to physically locate the best drill locations we will amend and refile the existing drill permit application."
Additional exploration goals of the drill program include drilling through the locally mineralized sediments above the Weepah Detachment Fault. This is important to grow Victory's understanding of a significant area of known lithium mineralisation including potentially important claystone hosted lithium discoveries made in 2017 by Jindalee Resources to the immediate south of the property.
The exploration efforts of both Victory and Jindalee have shown that the most southern portion of the Smokey Valley is underlain by claystones, ashstones and mudstones of the Esmeralda Formation. This geology is critical for success in the region where large, blanket like mineralized sections have been recently found.
Detailed geologic mapping by Victory at the project has identified the contact of the Weepah Detachment slide block. This slide block conceals the Esmeralda formation in the southern portion of the property. Lithium mineralization within the Weepah sediments has noted by the USGS (Stewart and others)1. Victory sees the potential to drill through mineralized Weepah sediments and down into mineralized Esmeralda Formation sediments. The drill targets discussed in the news release are targeted at that geologic setting with goal of significantly expanding the known lithium mineralization on the property.

About Smokey Lithium, Nevada
Victory's Smokey Lithium project is a clay lithium property that lies approximately 20 miles north of Clayton Valley, to the west of American Lithium's flagship lithium project. Smokey Lithium is located northwest of Cypress' Clayton Valley Lithium Project and to the southwest of American Lithium Corporation's Tonopah Lithium Claims Property in southwest Nevada. Esmeralda County Nevada is a prolific region for lithium clay deposits, (Noram, Cypress, American Lithium, Spearmint, Enertopia, and Jindalee).
