Grid Battery Metals (TSXV: CELL) has commenced a significant drilling program at their Clayton Valley Lithium Project. This initiative marks a pivotal moment for the company as they focus on exploring their 2,300-acre claim block in Silver Peak, Nevada. Situated adjacent to Albemarle’s lithium production site, this project holds strategic importance.

Clayton Valley Lithium Project Drilling Begins

The reverse circulation drilling, overseen by experienced contractors from Envirotech Drilling LLC, aims to identify lithium-rich claystone and brine deposits. Grid Battery Metals anticipates reaching depths of up to 1,500 feet, targeting several strategic locations throughout September.

Strategic Importance of Clayton Valley

The Clayton Valley region is renowned for its lithium deposits, housing North America’s sole producing lithium brine mine owned by Albemarle. Grid Battery Metals‘ property, located to the west of this facility, is poised for exploration that could yield significant lithium reserves.

Insights from Geological Data

According to Steven McMillin P.G., a major fault may serve as a lithium conduit. Drilling will particularly focus on geophysics and soil sample data indicating lithium presence in the claystone.
