EMP Metals (CSE:EMPS) is collaborating with the University of Regina to trace the source of lithium in subsurface waters in Western Canada.
The company is supporting the work of geologist Leslie Robbins through C$30,000 in financial support over two years. Robbins’ team has also received a C$60,000 Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Alliance grant.
The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin is a 1.4 million square kilometre area that includes southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories.
Robbins, an assistant professor in the faculty of science, explained there is a lot of momentum in Western Canada to extract lithium from subsurface brines.
“However, our understanding of this process is in its infancy, and there’s a lack of a predictive framework to find the locations of these lithium deposits in subsurface brines. Working with EMP Metals, my project will help advance this work,” Robbins said in a statement.
EMP Metals Corp. is a Canadian company that acquires and explores prospective lithium properties. Its current portfolio includes the Pass project in British Columbia. In partnership with ROK Resources, it currently holds 777 square km of subsurface dispositions and strategic wellbores in southern Saskatchewan.
EMP Metals Corp. opened trading at $0.47 per share. Year-to-date, EMPS stock is up 27.7 per cent and is trading 2.2 per cent higher than this time last year.
