Dec.2017 USGS Critical Minerals report. #Lithium brine (closed basin) check list. Belmont checks all the 7 boxes and advances to test low resistivity (.14 ohms) zone/aquifer with drill program @Kibby Basin, Esmeralda County , #Nevada, #USA
The document discusses Belmont Resources Inc.'s acquisition of the Kibby Basin lithium exploration property in Nevada. The property has potential to host lithium-bearing brines based on similarities to the geologic setting of Clayton Valley, where lithium is currently produced. Exploration will begin with geophysical surveys to evaluate the basin geometry and potential for hosting aquifers before potential drilling. Albemarle has protested further water rights in nearby Clayton Valley due to concerns over resource depletion, increasing interest in other basins like Kibby Basin for lithium exploration.
The Llewelyn Fault Zone: A district-scale plumbing system analog to other pro...Stephan Bogner
Core Assets Corp. believes to be onto something big. And there‘s good reason to believe so: The Llewelyn Fault Zone (LFZ) runs through the company‘s recently vastly expanded property (now 148 km2) located in the Atlin Mining District of northwestern British Columbia (BC). The world-class porphyry-related copper-gold deposits in BC‘s prolific Golden Triangle typically share a highly important characteristic: Structure, such as a major fault zone acting as a plumbing system for a metal-enriched feeder zone at depth. With geophysics and subsequent drilling, Core Assets aims to make a major discovery by confirming the LFZ to be the main transport corridor for high-grade metals found on the property at surface.
The document summarizes the success of lineament analysis techniques developed by Dr. Vadim Galkine and Ricardo Valls over 15 years. Their techniques identified known mineral deposits in blind tests and reduced exploration areas. Their targets were confirmed by clients' drilling and surveys. Examples show their techniques located gold and copper deposits, kimberlites, oil/gas fields, uranium and emeralds in Canada, US, Mexico, Peru and other countries. Their lineament analysis involves structural mapping, physical modeling and integrating diverse datasets to generate exploration targets.

Montoro Resources provides an update on its exploration program on the Pecors-Serpent River properties near Elliot Lake, Ontario. Drilling and probing of holes PDH-1 and PDH-2 identified two conductive anomalies through geophysical surveys. Rock samples from hole PDH-2 returned anomalous nickel, copper, and PGE values, indicating the potential for a new deposit type in the area. Further exploration will focus on understanding the geology and nature of the magnetic anomalies identified to determine next steps.
Saville Discovers High-Grade Niobium-Tantalum Boulders, And Possibly The Sour...Stephan Bogner
Today, Saville Resources Inc. reported lab results from its inaugural exploration program at its Niobium Claim Group Property in Québec. Most importantly for the upcoming drill program, the source of these strongly mineralized boulders appears to be found now.
The results speak for themselves and show the vast potential to make a major discovery with the upcoming drilling program:
• “A total for 14 rock samples with assays >0.80% Nb2O5, to a peak of 1.50% Nb2O5. Strong tantalum associated with best overall sample assaying 0.88% Nb2O5 and 1,080 ppm Ta2O5
• Discovery of new target area with boulder assays of 1.28% Nb2O5 and 0.88% Nb2O5
• Detailed ground magnetic survey completed over the Miranna and Southeast area targets
• Multiple target areas now drill ready“
To put this into perspective: Most of the current exploration, development and operating niobium mines have resource grades with a minimum of 0.3% Nb2O5.
- Prosperity has made three substantial gold discoveries at its Kiyuk project in Nunavut, Canada from drilling last summer, including zones with high gold values.
- The company's spring drilling program intends to further test the extent of these discoveries, with the goal of outlining a resource. There is also potential to make additional discoveries at Kiyuk and its other Yukon project.
- Much depends on drill results from the spring program and the larger summer program. Given prior results and the geological setting, the Kiyuk project has potential for a large-scale deposit.

Today, Core Assets Corp. announced the start of its maiden 5,000 m drill program at its district-scale Blue Property (1,116 km2) within the Atlin Mining District of northwest British Columbia, Canada. Drilling has begun at the Laverdiere Skarn-Porphyry Project with up to 1,500 m at three drill locations, followed by an additional 3,500 m of drilling at the Silver Lime CRD Project, where the company discovered an unusual high number of outcropping CRD mineralization last year.
Many if not most exploration projects worldwide are going back into known areas of mineralization, or into the shadow of established mining operations. Nowadays, virtually nobody is making new, boots-on-the-ground discoveries, not to speak of establishing new mining districts.
Voisey‘s Bay was probably the largest discovery of massive sulfides we have seen globally for about 30 years – the last pure, at-surface discovery, totally unexpected. People said there was nothing there and nobody went until two prospectors did anyway. Same with Core Assets‘ Silver Lime discovery – some people told Nick not to go there. “There‘s nothing to find but slippery glaciers and hungry grizzlies!“
Nick went anyway.
Saturn Minerals Inc has discovered a new 26m thick coal seam, called Thunder, during its winter drill program. This is Saturn's third coal discovery in three years of drilling in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The discovery points to coal seams becoming generally shallower to the east across the region, with implications for lower strip ratios and starting depths, improving potential economics. The discovery is located along the same geophysical trend as an earlier significant discovery, supporting the geological model. However, geophysics alone has not proven reliable outside this trend, requiring further drilling to evaluate targets. Stratigraphy is also not yet established between discoveries due to limited drilling depths. The new discovery supports focusing future exploration along the defined geophysical trend.

- VMS Ventures is a well-funded junior mining exploration company focused on discovering high-grade copper deposits in Manitoba, Canada.
- Their first discovery was the Reed Lake copper deposit in 2007. They have a joint venture with Hudbay Minerals on Reed Lake and 4 other option agreements.
- Drilling is currently underway at Reed Lake and the Sails Lake project to test targets identified by geophysical and geochemical surveys. VMS plans additional exploration work over the next 2 years to evaluate multiple targets on their properties.

As a result of “encouraging visual observations“ during its phase-1- and phase-2 sampling programs, Core Assets Corp. last week announced the expansion (quadruplication to 1083 km2) of its 100% owned, royalty-free Blue Property at the northern edge of the Golden Triangle in British Columbia (BC), Canada. The news was followed by a Rockstone report highlighting the chances of making a CRD (Carbonate Replacement Deposit) discovery and explaining the significance of CRDs in comparison with other types of polymetallic deposits such as VMS and MVT. Today, Core Assets Corp. released assays from its recently completed phase-1 grab-sampling program, when 247 grab samples were collected.
Discovery Harbour Resources Corp. and Northern Shield Resources Inc. have identified zinc-silver mineralization during drilling at the Wabassi property in northern Ontario. Additional claims have been staked based on airborne magnetic data and a new VTEM survey identified a priority target. Discovery Harbour is funding exploration to earn a 51% interest in the property and plans an aggressive program based on encouraging drilling results and new VTEM anomalies identified.
1) Montoro Resources has applied for an exploration permit to continue drilling its 1,840-hectare Pecors nickel-copper-PGE project near Elliot Lake, Ontario. Past exploration has outlined a significant 5.7km by 4.2km anomaly that could potentially host a massive sulphide deposit.
2) Montoro has entered into a $2 million financing facility with Alumina Partners over 24 months, allowing it to raise up to $250,000 per tranche for working capital and project advancement.

A BH UTEM 4 survey was conducted over 1000 m of borehole P-15-22 near Elliot Lake, Ontario in April 2015 to locate conductors for International Montoro Resources. Fieldwork involved laying a 1200x1200 m transmitter loop and surveying the borehole to collect axial and transverse electromagnetic field components. Appendices provide the production log, profile plots showing anomalies, vector plots of anomalies, and details on the BH UTEM 4 system and data reduction.
Montoro Resources Inc. has expanded its survey data and 3D modeling of its Pecors nickel-copper-PGE project in Elliot Lake, Ontario. Further analysis of geophysical survey data indicates the Pecors anomaly is now estimated to be 5.7 km by 4.2 km by 2.2 km in size, double previous dimensions. Two high probability massive sulphide targets have been identified. Previous drilling intersected sulphide mineralization including pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite that can be associated with significant nickel-copper deposits. Further exploration will target the conductive anomaly within the project area.
Three hypothetical buried massive sulphide orebodies were modeled with ZTEM to test their detectability at depths of 700m, 1400m, and 2100m. 2D forward and inversion modeling found that a 7.5Mt orebody with a conductivity of 0.1 S/m would produce a detectable ZTEM response above the noise level at all three depths. Larger 15Mt and 30Mt bodies were also expected to be detectable. However, the modeling showed the layered rock cover and individual intrusive bodies would not be resolvable, only the conductive orebodies.
The document summarizes airborne EM and magnetic geophysical survey data and inversion results over an area in Canada. The inversions identified low amplitude magnetic and conductivity anomalies within the survey area. Based on the geophysical data, further soil sampling and prospecting are recommended over the anomalous trends to better understand the geology, and physical property measurements on rock samples are needed to aid interpretation.

The Missing Puzzle Piece to Discover Lithium Aquifers in the Kibby Basin of Nevada?

The Missing Puzzle Piece to Discover Lithium
Aquifers in the Kibby Basin of Nevada?
Drilling the first holes into a lithium
prospective basin is a high risk business,
because if you miss, or the lithium grades
are low, the market tends to punish the
company vigorously by selling hard as
investors turn their back on the stock and
move on to their next gambling frenzy.
On the other hand, this could create
an outstanding buying opportunity for
those that still believe in the company
and know that – in most cases – it’s never
the first hole that makes a discovery.
This could very well be true for Belmont
Resources Inc. and its Kibby Basin Project
in Nevada, 65 km north of the famous
Clayton Valley.
In June of this year, the lithium explorer
reported assays from its first 2 holes,
showing up to 200 ppm lithium in sedi-
ments. This was a promising discovery as
it made official that there is lithium in the
Kibby Basin. However, investors – at that
time – were not looking for“promising”
results in sediments, they wanted to see
high-grade lithium in aquifers as that’s
also the pay zone in the near-by Clayton
Valley. So as they did not get what they
wanted to see, the stock took a dive at
5 cents and reached a bottom 4 months
later at 2.5 cents.
After a recent financing at 3 cents for
the next round of exploration, the stock
currently trades at 5 cents again. With
management and insiders taking the
lion’s share of that financing, this may
give confidence that they still believe
to hit it big time with the next round of
drilling.
And today, Belmont made a striking
announcement that could be the
missing piece of puzzle for the question
of where to drill the next couple of holes
on its large property to finally discover
high grades of lithium in the aquifer pay
zone.

hen you have a 27 square
kilometer big property,
where basically no one ever
conducted any modern exploration
to find lithium-bearing aquifers, you
need to start somewhere to prove
your case that there could be lithium.
So Belmont looked at the Clayton Valley
and compared it to the Kibby Basin, and
they found a geologic setting similar to
the continental brine model ascribed to
the Clayton Valley. Then they did a 3D
gravity survey over the entire property
and found that it has the structure of a
perfect lithium basin.
This was followed by 2“scout-holes“
to find out if there is any lithium in
those sediments and to get a first look
of the basin‘s geology. Drilling found
promising lithium values (up to 200
ppm) in sediments which is a great
indication that a near-by aquifer may
host much higher grades. With 13 of 25
core samples assaying over 100 ppm
lthium, these sediments could very well
be a potential source of lithium for the
underlying aquifers.
The question then arose where to
drill next in order to find the aquifer,
respectively the pay zone. A consultant
to Belmont, took a deep dive into
researching the Kibby Basin and made
some striking findings, with the results
you can see in today‘s news release.
Originally, he just wanted to put the
company‘s property borders on a map,
so he looked at some satellite images
and started to think outside the box. He
obtained more satellite data sets as he
had the feeling he was onto something.
Belmont‘s consultant then contacted the
USGS and NASA to confirm his theory
and soon it became clear that he found
the missing puzzle piece. As the images
indicate, he may have found the location
of the geothermal system – right in the
heart of the Kibby Basin.
This looks like a big“discovery“ as there
is no surface expression of a geothermal
system and until now it was not even
clear if at all there is a geothermal system
on the property.
The above shown image is actually
an animation (click here to watch it)
showing 8 days of a snow storm in 2016
above the Kibby Basin: Note the snow
in red and that over 1 foot of snow was
all gone within short time (so the take-
away is the Kibby Playa is warm due to a
geothermal system).
To make it clear: A geothermal system
is the key for a lithium-bearing aquifer
and as such the location of the lithium
aquifer is likely to be at the same spot.
As Belmont has now found this 1 square
kilometer area on its property, where
a convergence of anomalies occur,
the company is now getting ready to
drill into this area to find the lithium-
bearing aquifer. Vojtech Agyagos, CEO &
President of Belmont, explained today:
“The discovery of this area of hydro-
thermal indicator minerals representing
approximately (1) square/Kilometer
of our 27 square kilometer Kibby Ba-
sin, Nevada property will become the
center of our continued exploration.
This area hosted the highest Lithium
surface samples as well and is the site of
our proposed third drill hole. Our 2017
drill program discovered both water
(fresh) and up to 200ppm lithium in the
core in the Eastern side of the property
about 2 kilometers from these Thermal
alterations. This geothermal alteration
sits above the deepest gravity indicated
area from Belmonts’ 2016 Wright Geo-
physical ground gravity survey.

Research #7 | Belmont Resources Inc.
Belmont, has been reviewing EOSDIS NASA Worldview and the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) archived satellite data (1996 -2017) acquired over the Company’s Kibby Basin - Lithium
brine exploration project. Archived ASTER/Landsat satellite data collected over the Monte Cristo
Valley has identified significant anomalous higher than normal concentrations of clay-mica-hy-
drous silica-ferric iron minerals in the north-central playa in nearly the same area as indicated by
the ASTER data within the Belmont, Kibby Basin – claim area. ASTER/Landsat class satellite data
have been most effective at broadly categorizing surface units that can be considered as proxy for
geothermal systems (e.g., sulfates, carbonates, clays) than identifying specific minerals and their
mixing components (Taranik, 1988, Sabine et al., 1994, Rowanet al., 2005 and Zhanget al., 2007).

Belmont, is presently seeking quotes
from geophysical engineering
companies for Magnetotelluric (MT),
Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and
Geothermal Probe surveys with a view
to isolate the most prospective area to
drill for geothermal brine water. This
new information will be used, along
with the planned electromagnetic
resistivity (‘EM’) and possibly seismic
survey of the property to pin point
the higher aquifer probability targets
for the next phase of drilling. The
electromagnetic resistivity (‘EM’)
survey is expected to be completed
early in January 2018.”
The circled areas in both the shown
images are basically parts where
hydrothermally altered sediments occur
on the playa of the Kibby Basin. The
presence of these indicate that, at one
time, the hydrothermal water reached
the surface (probably in form of a geyser
or hot spring). Also, they indicate the
proximity of faults and fissures.
With the first 2 holes, Belmont tried to
drill into some indicated (ground survey)
faults on the eastern side of its property.
Now with this new information
(hydrothermal alteration), they may have
found the missing piece of the puzzle
to start drilling into the right spot of the
basin to finally make a striking discovery
(i.e. drilling into a lithium-rich aquifer).
The USGS wrote a report in 2013
outlining what you would need to find
a lithium brine deposit – all producing
lithium brine deposits share a number of
first-order characteristics:
(1) arid climate;
(2) closed basin containing a playa or salar;
(3) tectonically driven subsidence;
(4) associated igneous or geothermal
activity;
(5) suitable lithium source-rocks;
(6) one or more adequate aquifers; and
(7) sufficient time to concentrate a brine
With the upcoming geo probing and MT/
VES survey – and the latest knowledge
acquired from satellite data – Belmont
is on track to find (6) one or more
adequate aquifers.

Principals and applications of indirect methods which involve using hydrothermal minerals
as a proxy of geothermal systems were discussed by Hunt, 1977; Clark, 1999; Greenet al.,
1998; Martini et al., 2004 and Vaughan et al., 2003 and 2005; whereas the direct thermal
indices and associated applied methods were discussed in Mongillio, 1994, Hackwell et al.,
1996; Haselwimmer et al., 2011; Rowan et al., 2003; Coolbaugh et al., 2007. Well-established
methods in multispectral, hyperspectral analysis, in conjunction with modern subsurface
geophysics, advanced imagery from space-based and airborne sensor systems, permits their
direct and immediate application in geothermal energy prospecting and their evaluation
using both thermal signature, and spectral signatures indices (Coolbaugh et al., 2007; Gupta
and Roy 2007) (Prospecting for geothermal energy through satellite based thermal data.)
