Vancouver-based Ameriwest Lithium has an-nounce it has staked an additional 414 claims and expanded the size of its Edwards Creek Valley property to some 1,243 contiguous claims that total 22,200 acres.
Ameriwest Lithium said in a statement it is a North American lithium exploration and development company, and its management be-lieves that the property, which is located about 120 miles east of Reno, in the U.S. state of Nevada, could potentially host a large lith-ium brine deposit based on geophysical studies performed to date.
“We are extremely excited to have discovered a large gravity low dur-ing our recent gravity geophysical program at the ECV, and we have now expanded our claims to encompass the entire gravity low. We believe this low may have potential to host brine deposits similar in characteristics to those located in Clayton Valley, Nevada, subject to exploration success,” said David Watkinson, Ameriwest’s CEO.
