Scotch Creek Ventures’ (SCV) initial drill program is now underway on the Macallan East project.
The program will consist of select HQ core drill locations to approximately 500 meters per hole to a total depth. Harris Exploration Drilling and Associates Inc will execute it.
The holes test the conductive zones within the highly prospective Esmeralda Formation ash-rich clay and mudstones.
The Esmeralda has recently been revealed as a world-class lithium host rock within the developing Central Nevada Lithium District.
The Macallan East property is located directly on strike with a belt of strongly lithium mineralized mudstones currently undergoing resource definition by other companies within the Clayton Valley.
Furthermore, Scotch Creek has secured a crucial and geographically desired core shack in Silver Peak to review and analyze the drill core as the current and future drill programs progress.
Scotch Creek CEO, David Ryan, commented on the news.
“This is a monumental step for Scotch Creek and its shareholders. We have been conducting extensive geophysical work to better understand the subterranean floor beneath our property.”
“With this information on hand, we believe in having selected the most promising drill targets on the Macallan East project and look forward to reviewing the exploration results shortly,” added Ryan.
Scotch Creek’s 100 per cent owned 3,180-acre Macallan East project is located on the Southeast side of Southern Clayton Valley, just 10 km south of the only lithium producing mine in North America, Albemarle’s Silver Peak mine.
In addition, Tesla’s 1.9 million square feet Nevada Gigafactory is roughly a four-hour drive from Macallan East.
Scotch Creek is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing lithium projects located in tier-one mining jurisdictions such as Nevada, USA.
Scotch Creek’s vision is to secure North America’s green revolution future with strategically sourced lithium projects.
