American Lithium Retains Dr. John S. Oldow to Provide Technical Consulting Services
June 7, 2016 - Vancouver, British Columbia:
- Fish Lake Valley geophysical specialist brings 40 years experience to company offering structural and stratigraphic analysis
- Advance understanding of regional tectonics and define geometry of faults within Fish Lake Valley lithium brine basin
- Results used to optimize current 13 hole drill program in the North Bowl Playa, as well as 2H 2016 permit application for South Bowl Playa
American Lithium Corp. (TSXV: Li) (Frankfurt: 5LA) (American Lithium or the Company), is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a Technical Consulting Agreement (the Agreement) with Dr. John S. Oldow, Ph.D., Director of the Ellison Miles Center for Geological Field Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas, effective June 1, 2016.
The objective of the Agreement is to advance Dr. Oldows regional geophysical work to develop a geological model of the Companys 18,552 acre lithium brine project in Fish Lake Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada. Dr. Oldows work includes geologic mapping and the application of structural and stratigraphic analysis, along with potential field geophysics, GPS geodesy and terrestrial laser scanning to advance understanding of regional tectonics. The Fish Lake Valley geological model is expected to define basin depth, thickness and distribution of the reservoir in the basin, along with the geometry of faults around and within the basin.
Mr. Michael Kobler, CEO of American Lithium, commented, Fault geometry is critical in the development of lithium brine basins in that the structures may provide vertical conduits for fluid flow and may also represent aquitards controlling lateral flow in a segmented basin system. Understanding where these structures exist within the basin will direct the Companys upcoming drilling program. Dr. Oldow and his team of Ph.D. students from the University of Texas will provide detailed stratigraphic descriptions of the basin reservoir based on their previous work on exposed sections of the formation adjacent to the Companys Fish Lake Valley lithium brine property.
Dr. Oldows past geophysical work in Fish Lake Valley, including a detailed gravity survey which defined historical gravity lows in both the North and South Bowl Playas, as deep sub-basins, was instrumental in directing the acquisition of the Companys South Bowl Playa property and optimizing our current 13 hole drill program in the North Bowl Playa (see Companys news release dated June 1, 2016).
Specifically, Dr. Oldows geological mapping shows the presence of lithium-bearing rocks in the ranges draining into the North and South Bowl Playas, anomalous to contents of lithium reported in surface and historical drill hole brines in the Fish Lake Valley basin within 3 miles of the South Bowl Playa property. Results from Dr. Oldows work under this Agreement are expected to direct the Companys application for drill permits in the South Bowl Playa during the second half of 2016.
Dr. Oldow holds a Ph.D. in Geology from Northwestern University (1978) and a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Washington (1972). He has been a key team member at numerous organizations in the sector and was named as a Fellow of the Geological Society of America in 1992 and served by invitation on numerous committees for the National Science Foundation.
