HENDERSON, NV, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AmeriLithium Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: AMEL; "AmeriLithium" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the Company has officially received the deed for its Clayton Deep Lithium project properties in Clayton Valley, Nevada.
The Quitclaim Deed of the unpatented Clayton Deep placer mining claims was made effective on July 21, 2010 when signed by Robert Craig as agent and on behalf of Nevada Alaska Mining Co., Inc., a Nevada Corporation, Barbara Anne Craig, Elizabeth Dickman and Robert Craig ("Grantor"), and AmeriLithium Corp. ("Grantee").
The deed assigns forever Grantor's right, title and interest in and to each unpatented placer mining claim situated in Esmeralda County, Nevada, CD # 1 thru CD # 66, BLM NMC Nos. 1022861 - 1022926, respectively, and all amendments and relocations of the unpatented mining claims; together with all the ores, brines, earth or other mineral deposits, and in and to all of the rights, privileges, franchises, tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances belonging or appertaining to the unpatented placer mining claims, including all after acquired title.
According to the agreement, Grantor retains a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) with said Royalty subject to a buyback by Grantee for $500,000 for 1% of the NSR, with 1% NSR not subject to a buyback.
"Yet another milestone for the Company," commented AmeriLithium's Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Worrall. "Strategic property acquisition is the key to any mining company's success. And finalizing the acquisition of the Clayton Deep properties brings AmeriLithium one step closer to our goal of developing into one of the leading American players in the global Lithium industry."
AmeriLithium's domestic Clayton Deep Lithium brine project represents a 5,280-acre (8.25 square mile) claim block covering the entire Southwest Gravity Low in Clayton Valley, Nevada. Lithium-rich brines and evaporates have been accumulating in the Clayton Valley playa for more than 30,000 years, resulting in the highest Lithium content found in any brines tested by the US Geological Survey (USGS) in southwestern US playas and basins(1).
The Clayton Deep project's placer claims lie less than 10 miles southwest of the only US-based Lithium producing plant, operated by Chemetall Foote Corporation, a subsidiary of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. The plant has been in production since 1967, producing an estimated 50 million kg (55,000+ tons) of Lithium to date from the region's rich brines(2). Chemetall's exploration of the area immediately around the plant extends to within less than one mile of the northeast corner of AmeriLithium's Clayton Deep holdings(3).
AmeriLithium's Southwest Low is a viable size Lithium brine exploration target, covering approximately 2,200 acres or 3.4 square miles; in comparison, Chemetall Foote's Lithium brine recovery wells located less than 10 miles to the northeast have operated on only 2 square miles and have been producing continuously for 43 years.
