Rover Metals Signs Definitive Option Agreement for Nevada Lithium Project
November 17 2022 - 9:30AM
Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF)
(FSE:4XO) (“
Rover” or the
“
Company”) announces that further to its release
of September 20, 2022, it is pleased to announce that it has now
signed the definitive agreement to option a 100% ownership interest
in a claystone lithium project (the “Option Agreement”) located in
the southwest lithium jurisdiction of the state of Nevada, USA. The
Option Agreement is dated with an effective date of November 16,
2022. The land package under option is a district scale lithium
claystone deposit situated on Bureau of Land Management land. The
Option Agreement is subject to final approval by the Toronto
Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). An updating release will be provided
once the Company has received TSXV approval.
Let’s Go Lithium Property
The Let’s Go Lithium property is located in
Nevada’s famous southwest lithium jurisdiction and is approximately
6,000 acres in size. The Company, through the vendor of the
project, and through ALS Laboratories, has verified high-grade
lithium surface samples at the project. Highlights of these surface
grab samples processed by ALS Laboratories include: Sample# AMZ-8
of 780ppm Li, Sample# AMZ-26 of 910ppm
Li, and Sample# AMZ-28 of 710ppm Li. The
Company has pulled additional surface grab samples from the project
and analysed them with a Handheld Laser Induced Breakdown
Spectroscopy (“HH LIBS”). Highlights of the HH LIBS include:
1,218 ppm Li, 778 ppm Li, 724 ppm Li, and 707 ppm
Li.
The project includes green energy infrastructure
of hydro power lines, and has direct road access, and a nearby town
with a readily available work force.
Later-stage comparable claystone lithium
projects include Cypress Development’s Clayton Valley project;
American Lithium’s TLC project; Noram Lithium’s Zeus project, and
Iconic Minerals’ Bonnie Claire project. All of the aforementioned
companies are later-stage mining companies, with a NI 43-101
resource definition. Rover’s Nevada Lithium project is greenfields
in nature, with no drilling to date. Historic water well
drilling at the Let’s Go Lithium property by the USGS indicates
that the claystone is near to surface, and over 90 meters in
average thickness.
Summary of First Year Commitments Under the
Option Agreement
The Company’s earn-in to a 100% ownership of the
claystone lithium project calls for USD200,000 in exploration
expenditures within 24 months of the signing of a definitive
agreement and a common share payment of USD20,000 worth of the
Company’s common shares to be made on January 31, 2023.
Technical information has been approved by David
White, P.Geo., QP for the purposes of NI 43-101. ALS Laboratories
is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states, “The
Biden Administration’s Bill for Inflation Reduction and Energy puts
milestones in place for critical minerals like Lithium to be
produced within North America effective January 1, 2023. Given the
mining friendly jurisdiction of Nevada, and the nature of
claystones, we see the Let’s Go Lithium project as a shovel ready,
fast-tracked opportunity for development.”
