SUCCESSFUL LITHIUM BRINE PUMPING TEST October 14 News Email
SUCCESSFUL LITHIUM BRINE PUMPING TEST AT CLAYTON VALLEY SOUTH PROJECT, NEVADA SIE:TSX.v | SNNAF:USA | A1XCQ0:Germany Recently our Clayton Valley neighbour Pure Energy Minerals announced more positive news on their lithium brine project October 12.that it (Pure) has completed a constant-rate pumping test at its newest borehole, CV-3. The test ran continuously for approximately two days and included collection of brine samples along with extensive hydrological data on the aquifers. (full release below) This is significant for Sienna in that Sienna's project is in the deepest sections of this basin. Additional significant news from Pure's work program is that the last well they drilled was their deepest to date and ENDED IN BRINE. If the concept that the brine is denser and sinks holds true, we are very optimistic about holding property in the deepest sections of this basin. We are looking forward to starting work on our property to test this theory. About Sienna: Sienna Resources Inc (SIETSX.v) (A1XCQ0 FSE) (SNNAFOTCBB) is focused on the Clayton Valley Deep Basin Lithium Brine Project. The President adds, We are also very fortunate to be able to engage GeoXplor, who have the most intimate knowledge of Clayton Valley. The GeoXplor team have been instrumental with the development and discovery regarding the lithium brine deposit that Pure Energy Minerals Limited has, and we look forward to utilizing their experience and expertise to develop our Clay-ton Valley Deep Basin Lithium Brine Project. GeoXplor has proven to be the preeminent Clay-ton Valley lithium brine discovery team. We are very excited to start up our program as Sienna is located in the deepest sections of the basin that holds the only lithium development in Nevada Siennas Clayton Valley Deep Basin Lithium Brine Project is located directly between and bordering Pure Energy Minerals Limited (PETSX.v) and Lithium X Energy Corp (LIXTSX.v). The Clayton Valley Deep Basin Lithium Brine Project is located in parts of the deep-est sections (refer to the map) of the only lithium brine basin with a producing operation in North America (Albemarles (ALB-NYSE) Silver Peak Mine). John Rud M.Sc. Geologist and a Principal of GeoXplor Corp states that "We look forward to working with the Sienna team as their project is located in the deepest sections of the Clayton Valley Basin, the only producing lithium brine basin in North America, with no company to date, testing these deeper sections. Their (Sienna's) efforts in this regard is something we are very ex-cited about".

Pure's News Release: VANCOUVER, BC(12 Oct., 2016) Pure Energy Minerals Limited (TSX VENTURE: PE) (FRANKFURT: A111EG) (OTCQB: PEMIF) (the Company or Pure Energy) is pleased to announce that it has completed a constant-rate pumping test at its newest borehole, CV-3. The test ran continuously for approximately two days and included collection of brine samples along with extensive hydrological data on the aquifers. The pumping test was designed and supervised by Pure Energys specialist hydrogeological consultants, Montgomery & Associates (Montgomery). This successful test of CV-3 provided invaluable additional data for Pure Energys technical team to advance and refine its understanding of the Clayton Valley South (CVS) lithium resource. The technical data from this test will be integrated into the forthcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). The pumping test was configured using an electric submersible pump and monitoring apparatus in CV-3 and monitoring apparatus installed in CV-1, approximately 200 meters away. The test ran at a constant rate of 69 gallons per minute (4.4 liters per second) for its duration. The hydrogeologists collected approximately 23 separate brine samples for lithium analysis over the 46-hour pumping period. Monitoring revealed that the extracted brine from CV-3 demonstrated near steady-state elevated fluid conductivity and fluid density, comparable to that measured during discrete sampling of CV-3. This suggests the production of consistent lithium brine during the pumping test. Patrick Highsmith, Pure Energy Minerals CEO commented, This successful pumping test is another important milestone, advancing our exploration and development program towards a PEA. Dr. Andy Robinson and the Montgomery team have delivered a carefully designed and executed pumping test that will provide a number of the important parameters to be used in the design of a well field. This work is one more example of the professionalism of our team and our focus on building value in Clayton Valley. This pumping test was performed in accordance with a State of Nevada mineral exploration waiver and a permit issued to Pure Energy by the Nevada Division of Water Resources and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, which authorize the temporary extraction of brine from the well and subsequent discharge to surface. The mineral exploration waiver and discharge permit provide authorization from the State of Nevada for Pure Energy to conduct the described lithium exploration activities for the CVS Project.
