The Stonewall project is located within the Lida Valley where high values for Lithium have been recorded on surface and within drill cuttings as well as brine within the Lida Valley by a number of exploration efforts that date back to the mid 1970s.
More recent geochemical surveys have have revealed anomalous to high levels of Lithium over an 9km (5.6 mile) expanse with two main concentrations in a portion of the valley
A new round of geophysics and sampling is highly warranted.
The Walker Ridge project is located in gold capital of the U.S, Nevada, just 60 miles (100km) north of the mining hub, Elko, and is easily accessed via roads off of Highway 225. The project is sandwiched in-between gold producers and is located just north of the producing Jerritt Canyon gold mines. Cumulative production from the Jerritt Canyon deposits has now totaled over 8.7 million ounces. The proximity to the Jerritt Canyon Mill and infrastructure is a critical advantage for the Walker Ridge Project.
NICKEL, COBALT, RARE EARTH CIRCUIT
The second circuit aims to recover metals like nickel, cobalt, rare earths, and critical elements. This portion subjects the recovered components to a two-stage leach. The first recovers rare earths and critical elements. The second puts nickel, cobalt, and other metals into solution. The first solution goes through resins for the selective recovery and purification stages and will have a fertilizer by-product. The second solution recovers cobalt removed from the circuit with a solvent extraction step. This step collects cobalt for high purity cobalt with electrowinning. The second solvent extraction circuit collects nickel for high purity nickel production and goes to electrowinning.
