Mesa Uranium reported having received exploration rights lithium mining project Seluar 10 square miles in Utah. Lithium mining project will be managed by Mesa for the anticipated growth in demand and supply of lithium carbonate, industrial lithium-ion batteries, electric hybrid and electric cars will increase in 2012.
Lithium mining project that will be explored from oil exploration wells proyel Green Energy. More than two dozen oil exploration wells have been drilled in the Green Energy project, five of these wells have the analytical data for lithium.
The results of the analysis, Lithium occurs in the project over a wide area with values as high as 1700 ppm lithium (0.9% Li2CO3) in saturated salt water. The salt water was discovered in the 1960s when oil exploration wells encountered a blow-out drilling in Bed # 31 of the Paradox Formation. Free-flowing pressurized salt water interrupted drilling operations and is considered annoying, are rarely analyzed chemically or flow-rate tested.
Lithium brine mine is more economic to mine and process than conventional open-pit or underground mines. Given the favorable climate of solar evaporation area can be used to concentrate the salt water projects to improve the economy.
World-class lithium brine mine in the class ranged from 150 ppm to 1,200 ppm of lithium and employ proven solar evaporation concentration techniques.
Mesa currently evaluating all available new and historic exploration drilling logs. A professional engineering firm will be involved to evaluate the data of drilling, reservoir potential and extraction methods on the Green Energy project.
Although the Company has no reason to doubt the historical accuracy of the results, the data should not be relied upon until confirmed by the Company’s own exploration. Historical results and the work they produced a pre-effective date of National Instrument 43-101 and in accordance may not meet the policy requirements. There are 43-101 mineral reserves or mineral resources in the Green Energy lithium project. Potential quantity and grade indicated above is conceptual in nature and have been provided for illustrative purposes only.
