VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
NRG Metals Inc. ("NRG" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NGZ) (OTCQB: NRGMF) (Frankfurt: OGPN) is pleased to report
it has issued and filed a technical report titled "Initial Measured Lithium and Potassium Resource Estimate Hombre Muerto North
Project, Salta and Catamarca Provinces, Argentina." The report was completed in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, on behalf of the Company by independent consultants
Montgomery and Associates, of Santiago, Chile.
The NI 43-101 resource statement (see press release October 2, 2018), detailed in Table 1 below,
includes 509,000 tonnes (metric tons) of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) equivalent (LCE) and 1,609,000 tonnes of potash (KCl)
equivalent in the Measured Resource category, with an additional 62,000 tonnes of LCE and 231,000 tonnes KCl in the Indicated
Resource category. The average grade of lithium for the 571,000 tonne combined Measured and Indicated resource is 756
milligrams/liter lithium, with a low lithium to magnesium ratio of 2.6 to 1. The report is now filed on SEDAR and is available at
the company website at www.nrgmetalsinc.com.
Table 1. Hombre Muerto North Lithium Brine Resource Statement
Tonnages are rounded off to the nearest 1,000. Cutoff grade: 500 mg/L lithium, but no laboratory results were less than the
cutoff grade. The conversion used to calculate the equivalents from their metal ions is based on the molar weight for the
elements added to generate the equivalent. The equations are Li x 5.3228 = lithium carbonate equivalent and K x 1.907 = potassium
chloride equivalent. The reader is cautioned that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability.
Montgomery and Associates recommends that the company further evaluate the project by
completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment. Selection of a contractor for this stage of evaluation is underway, and the company
expects to award the contract shortly.
Company President Adrian F.C. Hobkirk is quoted, "we are pleased with our accomplishment to
date at Hombre Muerto North, and in particular, the identification of a significant high- grade resource. We anticipate that the
PEA will allow the company to further justify the development of the Hombre Muerto North Lithium Project."
