Nevada Lithium Resources Inc. (CSE: NVLH; OTCQB: NVLHF; FSE: 87K)
(“
Nevada Lithium” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to provide an updated
mineral resource estimate (“
Mineral Resource
Estimate”) at its 100% owned Bonnie Claire Lithium Project
(the “
Project” or “
Bonnie
Claire”), located in Nye County, Nevada. The Mineral
Resource Estimate was prepared by Global Resource Engineering
(“
GRE”) in accordance with Canadian Institute of
Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum (“
CIM”)
definitions, as required under National Instrument 43-101 -
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“
NI
43-101”) and has an effective date of September 24, 2024.
Most notably, the Lower Zone (as defined below) gives an indicated
resource of 275.85 million tonnes (“
Mt”) at 3,519
parts per million (“
ppm”) lithium
(“
Li”) (5.167 Mt lithium carbonate equivalent
(“
LCE”)) and 275.85 Mt at 8,404 ppm boron
(“
B”) (2.318 Mt B), together with an inferred
resource of 1,561.06 Mt at 3,085ppm lithium (25.634 Mt LCE).
Nevada
Lithium’s CEO, Stephen Rentschler, comments:
“We are
excited to announce the impact of the new drilling in the Lower
Zone of mineralized lithium and boron at Bonnie Claire. With the
significantly increased tonnage and higher grades, Bonnie Claire is
potentially unrivaled by other sediment hosted lithium projects in
Nevada and is now amongst the largest lithium resources in the
world and amongst the highest-grade in Nevada.
Compared to
Bonnie Claire’s previous resource report, the new drilling in the
Lower Zone has led to a 68% increase in LCE tonnage, at an average
grade that has tripled from 1,000 ppm to over 3,000 ppm. It
includes intervals where grades exceed 6,000ppm. These increases
have occurred using a cut-off grade that has more than doubled to
1,800 ppm. For the first time, we are also able to report a
significant high-grade boron resource that we believe further
enhances the Project’s value.
The Lower
Zone remains open to the NW, NE and SE, for future resource
expansion. Furthermore, the new infill drilling has resulted in an
indicated resource classification. We are confident that the
continuity of the mineralization will allow us to easily upgrade
additional resources from the inferred classification into
indicated resources and add new inferred resources.
The results
from this report will feed directly into ongoing work on an updated
Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that we are targeting for
completion at the end of Q1 2025. This PEA will
reflect the increased tonnages and grades reported today. The PEA
will also include the metallurgical processes currently being
developed by Fluor Enterprises Inc., as reported in our news
release dated October 23, 2024.
I would like
to offer my congratulations and thanks to Nevada Lithium’s
technical team for this tremendous success. Their dedication and
vision has led to results that are of global significance and, in
my opinion, will lead to future increases in shareholder
value.”
Highlights:
- Resources for the deposit have been
separated into two zones; a Lower Zone (i.e., mineralization hosted
by Lower Claystone and Lower Sandstone units) (the “Lower
Zone”) and an Upper Zone (i.e., mineralization hosted by
an Upper Claystone unit) (the “Upper Zone”).
- The updated Mineral Resource
Estimate includes assays from eleven (11) additional exploration
and infill drill holes completed since the 2021 maiden resource
estimate. 2023 & 2024 drilling intersected the lower claystone
which hosts the high grade (up to 7,160ppm) lithium, and which
remains open in three directions. It is reasonably expected that
the bulk of inferred resources can be upgraded to indicated through
additional infill drilling.
- The Lower Zone gives an indicated
resource of 275.85 Mt at 3,519 ppm lithium (5.167 Mt LCE) and
275.85 Mt at 8,404 ppm Boron (2.318 Mt B), together with an
inferred resource of 1,561.06 Mt at 3,085ppm lithium (25.634 Mt
LCE). This base-case resource is based on a 1,800ppm lithium
cutoff, constrained by hydraulic borehole mining
(“HBHM”) parameters, and an assumed 60% recovery
of the host strata.
- The Upper Zone gives an indicated
resource of 188.08 Mt at 1,074 ppm lithium (1.075 Mt LCE) and
152.11 Mt at 1,519 ppm boron (0.231 Mt B), together with an
inferred resource of 451.10 Mt at 1,106 ppm lithium (2.655 Mt LCE)
and 270.53 Mt at 1,505 ppm boron (0.407 Mt B). This resource is
calculated at a 900 ppm lithium cut-off, within a constraining pit
shell, and would be mined by conventional open-pit methods
- The 60% HBHM recovery is based
purely on a cylindrical cavity and does not account for any
improved recoveries from the expected plastic deformation of the
deep zone material.
- The updated Mineral Resource
Estimate will be included into ongoing work on an updated PEA
expected for completion at the end of Q1 2025.

Results and Interpretation
Bonnie Claire consists of a sedimentary package
of volcaniclastic origin, laid down in a NW-SE basin striking
basin. Lithium and boron mineralization are located within an Upper
Zone, hosted within an upper claystone unit encountered by drilling
from surface to about 425 ft (130m), and a Lower Zone, hosted
within lower claystone and lower sandstone units intersected from
1,500-2,850ft (457-853m). Lithium mineralization appears to be
hosted within non-swelling clay phases such as illite, or as
lithium carbonate or salt within the sedimentary matrix. Boron
mineralization appears to be associated with searlesite, a sodium
borosilicate mineral.
While the Upper Zone and Lower Zones exhibit
lithium and boron mineralization, they are separated spatially, and
exhibit differences in metallurgical behaviour, leading the Company
to treat them as two distinct deposits with different mining
methods.
Lower Zone
While early exploration concentrated on
mineralization in the Upper Zone, the Company has shifted its focus
to mineralization in the Lower Zone, hosted in the lower claystone
and sandstone units and containing the bulk of lithium and boron.
This Lower Zone remains open to the NW, NE and SE. The current plan
is to use an underground HBHM method, with a higher 1,800ppm
cut-off. The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Lower Zone is
presented in Table 1-1 and the sensitivity of the Lower Zone to
cutoff grade is presented in Table 1-2.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Mineral Resource
Estimates:
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and
do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty
that all or any part of the mineral resources will be converted
into mineral reserves. Inferred mineral resources are that part of
a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are
estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling.
Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify
geological and grade or quality continuity. It is reasonably
expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be
upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued
exploration.
Resource Estimation Parameters
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Bonnie
Claire was performed using Leapfrog® Geo and Leapfrog® Edge
software. Leapfrog® Geo was used to update the geologic model, and
Leapfrog® Edge was used for geostatistical analysis and grade
modeling in the block model. An oblique view of the block model at
Bonnie Claire is illustrated by Figure 1.1
Figure 1.1: Oblique view from southwest of block model
for Bonnie Claire generated by Leapfrog® Edge software. Lithium ppm
legend to right.
The drill hole database used for the estimation included:
- 21 exploration
drill holes, including 8 reverse circulation holes and 11 vertical
diamond core holes
- 9,159.54 meters
of drilling in exploration drill holes
- 1,898 assay
intervals in exploration drill holes
- Minimum grade of
18 ppm Li in exploration drill holes
- Maximum grade
of 7,160 ppm Li in exploration drill holes
Cumulative probability plots of lithium and
boron assay values did not exhibit grade breaks that would indicate
the presence of outlier data, so the data were not capped or
clipped. A specific gravity of 1.7 grams per cubic centimeter
(g/cm3) for all lithological units, comparable to other similar
lithium deposits. Drill hole assay values were composited to
intervals of equal length to ensure that the samples used in
statistical analysis and estimations were equally weighted. The
majority of samples were collected at 6.096-meter (20-foot)
intervals, with some samples collected at other intervals up to a
maximum of 12.192 meters (40 feet). Down-the-hole composites were
created from the Li and B assays within upper claystone, lower
claystone, and lower sandstone mineralized domains, with the
following specifications: 6.096-meter (20-foot) intervals, with
anything less than 3.048 meters (10 feet) added to the previous
interval. This resulted in 1,313 Li composite intervals with Li
grades from 40.37 ppm to 5,764.48 ppm and 857 B composite intervals
with B grades from 10 ppm to 14,658.8 ppm.
Qualified Person Terre Lane estimated Li and B
grades into the block model using inverse distance to the second
power (“ID2”) and for each method, a single pass
was conducted at the ellipsoid ranges (1,600 meters x 900 meters x
150 meters). All blocks with modeled grade were coded as inferred
resources. The search was restricted to a minimum of four samples
and a maximum of 12 samples per block and a maximum of three
samples per drill hole, thereby requiring data from a minimum of
two drill holes to populate a block. For statistical comparison,
nearest neighbor (“NN”) and ordinary kriging
(“OK”) models were run to serve as comparisons
with the estimated results from the ID2 method. The estimate means
for the global population as well as the means for the estimation
domains are similar, suggesting the ID2 estimate is not biased or
overestimating the grades. The reduction in mean, coefficient of
variation, and maximum from composites to the ID2 estimate shows an
appropriate amount of smoothing. Swath plots and visual comparison
of composites versus block model values by section and plan show
good correlation.
Mining MethodsHydraulic Borehole Mining
of Lower Zone
As disclosed in their April 16, 2024, news
release, Nevada Lithium contracted Kinley Exploration LLC
(“Kinley”) to provide a preliminary evaluation of
HBHM for Bonnie Claire.
Kinley was asked to establish a reasonable and
economic mining strategy utilizing HBHM within the Bonnie Claire
Lithium resource deposit to extract lithium in a continuous,
efficient, cost effective and safe manner in the targeted higher
grade zone from 1,500-2,800ft (457-853m) deep.
Kinley’s analysis took into consideration that
the mineralization is highly plastic and with the assistance of
jetting and pumping would likely flow. With this information,
coupled with the significant cost of backfilling and then the
consideration of subsidence, Kinley evaluated HBHM without
backfilling and using directional drilling from a stable
position.
The Kinley model assumed the highly mobile
mineralization within the target section would behave plastically
and flow in a fluid state or caving condition to the mining system
intake. This relies on flow of the mobilized mineralization,
accelerated by high pressure jetting to a centralized well, then
pumped back to surface. GRE assumes a more conservative recovery of
60% because of potential mass flow issues that need to be evaluated
during test mining.
Open Pit Mining of Upper
Zone
Open pit mining of the Upper Zone at Bonnie
Claire would likely use conventional mining equipment of hydraulic
shovels and mining haul trucks but could possibly use scrapers. The
soil is extremely soft and typically saturated. As a result, pit
wall slopes would need to be relatively shallow; for the
Lerchs-Grossman pit exercise in Section 14, the GRE Qualified
Person used 18° side wall slopes. Additional geotechnical testing
would need to be completed to determine stable side wall slope
angles, bench heights, and catch bench widths. Dewatering portions
of the pit, freezing, or other forms of stabilizing pit slopes and
bottom may be required.
Mineral Processing and Metallurgical
TestingThe mineral assemblage changes with depth. The
Upper Zone generally shows lower grade lithium and boron and higher
calcite content, while the Lower Zone tends to be significantly
higher-grade lithium and boron and lower calcite content. The final
mine design has not been completed, and the project may have
several options: mine the upper portion, mine the lower portion, or
mine the entire deposit. As a result, two distinct treatment
options have been evaluated.
For the Upper Zone, a thermal treatment was
developed that involved a sulfate calcination followed by a hot
water leach. This process had the advantage of not solubilizing as
many impurities, particularly iron. High lithium extractions (up to
80%) were achieved.
New drill samples from the Lower Zone were
tested, and the calcination process was not effective due to the
low melting point of the boron minerals (searlesite). Subsequently,
sulfuric acid leaching was evaluated to treat the deeper deposit
material. The acid treatment demonstrated that the lithium host is
readily soluble in a strong sulfuric acid solution, achieving
extractions of approximately 85%. The conventional downstream
purification of the acid liquor had challenges for the upper
sections of the deposit due to high iron solubilization.
Boron concentrations in the Lower Zone warrant a
separate boron recovery circuit. Boron is recovered from the leach
liquor after primary impurity removal via ion exchange to produce a
boric acid product.
Quality Assurance / Quality
ControlA quality assurance / quality control protocol
following industry best practice was incorporated into the drill
program by Nevada Lithium. Drilling was conducted by Major Drilling
Group International Inc. (“Major Drilling”). Core
was transported by Major Drilling from the collar location and
received by Nevada Lithium staff at the Company storage facility in
Beatty, Nevada. The facility is only accessible to Nevada Lithium
staff and remains otherwise locked. Received core was logged and
cut at the facility by Nevada Lithium staff. Logging and sampling
included the systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates and
certified reference material (“CRM”) MEG Li.10.12
and OREAS 750 into sample batches at an insertion rate of
approximately 10%. All core samples collected were transported by
Company staff to ALS USA Inc.’s laboratory in Reno, Nevada. for
sample preparation. Sample preparation comprises initial weighing
(Code WEI-21), crushing quality control test (CRU-QC), pulverizing
quality control test (PUL-QC), fine crushing at 70% <2mm
(CRU-31), sample split using Boyd rotary splitter ((SPL-22Y),
pulverizing up to 250g 85% <75 µm (PUL-31), crush entire sample
(CRU-21), pulp login (LOG-24) and a crusher wash (final crusher
wash between samples (WSH-21). Samples were shipped to ALS USA
Inc.’s Vancouver laboratory in Burnaby British Columbia, where the
samples were analyzed using 48-element four-acid inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ME-MS61) and B/Li N₂O₂ fusion
inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy high-grade
(ME-ICP82b) procedures.
Data verification by GRE staff included: an
on-site inspection of the Project site and core, reverse
circulation and chip tray storage facilities, check sampling,
geologic maps and reports, and manual auditing of the Project drill
hole database. GRE’s Qualified Persons have been involved with the
project since 2018. They visited the site in 2018 after drilling,
during drilling in 2020 and 2022. The results from the site
inspection, visual sample inspection and check sampling for each
drilling campaign are given below. Based on the results of GRE’s
Qualified Persons check of the sampling practices, verification of
drill hole collars in the field, results of the check assay
analysis, visual examination of selected core intervals, and the
results of both manual and mechanical database audit efforts, GRE
considers the collar, lithology, and assay data contained in the
project database to be reasonably accurate and suitable for use in
estimating mineral resources.
The data verification of the drilling campaigns
shows that data from the rotary mud drilling was suspect and not
used in the resource estimate. Open pit mining and processing
methods, costs and infrastructure needs were verified by Ms. Lane
in comparison to other similar sized open pit mines operating in
the western USA. Borehole mining costs were developed by Kinley
with coordination with GRE. Other cost data used in the report was
sourced from the most recent infomine cost data report. All costs
used to determine reasonable prospects for economic extraction were
verified and reviewed by GRE and were assessed to be current and
appropriate for use.
Metallurgical testing was completed for Bonnie
Claire by a well-known commercial metallurgical laboratory. GRE
reviewed all available metallurgical reports. GRE confirmed that
the mineralization found at the Project is similar to another
project where GRE has performed other consulting work and finds
that the test work for Bonnie Claire shows that the material
behaves in a similar manner, specifically in lithium extraction and
recovery and reagent consumption. Given the similarities of the
Bonnie Claire material to other similar projects, this provides a
good basis for benchmarking the metallurgical test. The work
appears to be professionally completed and is well documented and
is suitable for estimation of lithium extraction and recovery
calculations in the Mineral Resource Estimate.

lithium as a commodity, including the sustained lithium demand and
prices.
In making the forward looking statements in this
news release, Nevada Lithium has applied several material
assumptions, including without limitation: market fundamentals that
result in sustained lithium demand and prices; the receipt of any
necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in connection
with the future development of Bonnie Claire in a timely manner;
the availability of financing on suitable terms for the
development; construction and continued operation of Bonnie Claire;
the Project containing mineral resources; and Nevada Lithium’s
ability to comply with all applicable regulations and laws,
including environmental, health and safety laws.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements are not based on historical facts but instead reflect
Nevada Lithium’s management’s expectations, estimates or
projections concerning future results or events based on the
opinions, assumptions and estimates of managements considered
reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although Nevada
Lithium believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-
looking statements are reasonable, such information involves risks
and uncertainties, and under reliance should not be placed on such
information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have
material adverse effects on future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by Nevada Lithium. Among the key
risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected in the forward- looking statements are the
following: operating and technical difficulties in connection with
mineral exploration and development and mine development activities
at the Project; estimation or realization of mineral reserves and
mineral resources, requirements for additional capital; future
prices of precious metals and lithium; changes in general economic,
business and political conditions, including changes in the
financial markets and in the demand and market price for
commodities; possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates;
possible failures of plants, equipment or processes to operate as
anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the
mining industry; delays or the inability of Nevada Lithium to
obtain any necessary approvals, permits, consents or
authorizations, financing or other planned activities; changes in
laws, regulations and policies affecting mining operations;
currency fluctuations, title disputes or claims limitations on
insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of pending
litigation, environmental issues and liabilities; risks relating to
epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19, including the impact of
COVID-19 on Nevada Lithium’s business; as well as those factors
discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Nevada Lithium’s
latest Management Discussion and Analysis and other filings of
Nevada Lithium filed with the Canadian securities authorities,
copies of which can be found under Nevada Lithium’s profile on the

Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialized, or should assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described herein as intended, planned,
anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although Nevada
Lithium has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties
and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially,
there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated,
