Will Assist in Defining Targets for Future Drilling
INCLINE VILLAGE, NV / ACCESSWIRE / February 12, 2019 / LithiumOre (http://lithiumore.net) (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oroplata Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: ORRP), a lithium resource exploration and development company, today announced it has initiated a geophysical survey to determine the presence and depth of conductive and potentially lithium brine-bearing strata.
Doug Cole, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LithiumOre, commented, "We are excited with our progress in Railroad Valley and look forward to working with Zonge International. Our 2019 goals are centered upon advancing our exploration developments and effectively communicating our progress with our shareholders and the investing public, which includes improving our capital markets positioning by uplisting to a major exchange."
The exercise encompasses an 11.8-kilometer Magnetotelluric ("MT") geophysical survey with Zonge International Inc. (http://zonge.com), a geophysical services and equipment resource for geoscientists and project managers in exploration, research, geotechnical and environmental engineering worldwide. The survey will consist of two MT profiles to determine the presence and depth of conductive and potentially lithium brine-bearing strata. The survey covers the deepest part of the Railroad Valley Basin as defined by gravity and historic oil wells Data will be correlated and combined with existing gravity, seismic, and oil well geophysical surveys to refine targets for future drilling.
Magnetotellurics (MT) is a natural-source electromagnetic geophysical technique that measures the resistivity of the subsurface. MT is uniquely suited for either very deep exploration purposes or for exploration in extremely conductive terrains. Lithium brines are, by their nature, very conductive and are a good target for MT applications.
Made in America, LithiumOre holds 1,300 lithium mineral claims, totaling 26,000 acres, located in Railroad Valley of Nye County, Nevada. Railroad Valley is approximately 112 miles northeast of Clayton Valley and can be accessed by paved highway directly from U.S. Route 6. Railroad Valley is one of Nevada's largest trapped basins and is noted to hold all the necessary commercial and engineering prerequisites for a massive lithium brine deposit. The Company's claims have been evaluated by experts and the BLM and are in planned on-site exploration.
