Strike Length Extended At The Willcox Lithium Discovery

Strike Length Extended At The Willcox Lithium Discovery

VANCOUVER – MAX Power Mining Corp. continues to drill into thick lithium claystone sequences and fluid sequences 3 miles south of a recently completed widely-spaced triangle formation of drill holes at its Willcox Lithium Project in southeast Arizona.

Diamond drill hole WP-23-04, collared 3 miles southwest of WP-23-03, has encountered a predominant lithium claystone sequence and six fluid sequences from the top of the hole to the base of the hole where it ended at 1,200 feet in a fluid sequence.

Peter Lauder, Senior Geologist and Exploration Manager, said, “This big step-out to the south and the first four drill holes in general underscore the potential scale of the Willcox lithium system which is being diamond drilled for the first time. Onsite LIBS analysis (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Z-903) of the claystones remains highly encouraging, and with respect to the brine potential there is also evidence of a strong evaporative environment in this fourth drill hole. We are continuing to step-out aggressively.”

Multiple distinct fluid sequences were encountered in WP-23-04 at depths of 32, 119, 458, 578, 668 and at 1,200 feet, within a broader lithium claystone sequence. Notably, these non-potable liquid targets have the potential to host lithium mineralization which adds to the uniqueness of the geological setting and the potential economic opportunity. The fifth drill hole has commenced, a 1,640-foot step-out to the south of WP-23-04 in an area characterized by resistivity low and gravity low anomalies.
