Vancouver, BC (FSCwire) - E3 METALS CORP.
(TSXV: ETMC, FSE: OU7A, OTC: EEMMF) (the “Company”, “E3” or
“E3 Metals”) is pleased to announce that it has initiated the second phase of sampling for lithium at
active oil and gas wells across the Company’s Alberta Lithium Project Permit Areas. This second phase of sampling will accomplish
three goals critical for the development of the Company’s Petro-Lithium Project in South-Central Alberta:
- Extend sampling in areas allocated for resource extensions planned for 2018
- Return to previously sampled areas for repeated analysis which will assist in upgrading the resource to Measured +
Indicated in the future
- Collection of a 1000 liter (L) sample from the Clearwater Project area to be used for bench scale lithium extraction test
work
The second phase sampling program will begin this week and is expected to continue on an ongoing basis for the next
2 to 3 months continuing into 2018.
The Company has been provided access by several operators to wells and batteries for collection of brine samples to
determine the concentration of lithium contained within the formation water. The sampling program will be conducted at multiple
locations within the Company’s Metallic and Industrial Minerals (MIM) Permit Areas. After the samples are collected in the
field, they will be transported to accredited laboratories for analytical tests. The first results from the sampling
program are expected to be available within 6 to 8 weeks. E3 Metals would like to thank the operators collaborating with the
Company to complete the sampling program.
“The second phase of sampling beginning this week is building on the success of the first phase of sampling
completed in October,” said E3 Metals’ CEO Chris Doornbos. “Phase one results are being used to produce the Company’s first
compliant mineral resource estimate expected to be announced before the end of this year. We are continually expanding our
sampling area which will lead to the definition of additional resource estimates in 2018.” Mr. Doornbos also commented “The
collection of a large sample of formation brine water for extraction test work is also a key part of the Company’s development
goals for 2018.”
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
Chris Doornbos, President & CEO
