USA, Nevada: Project to Mine Lithium from Geothermal System Progresses

Dajin Resources Files for Water Rights of a Nevada Playa for Lithium Development Project (equities.com)

Dajin Resources Corp is a Canadian energy metals company that has taken an interest in a playa located in Nevada. Recently, they announced that an application for water rights of the Teels Marsh has been filed with the Nevada Division of Water Resources in order to move forward with a lithium development project.

As stated in Dajin’s water rights application, the lithium development project, which has passed both the publication and protest period without opposition, will allow a pump rate of 620 gallons per minute, not to exceed 1,000 acre feet per annum.

The Teels Marsh is conveniently located 50 miles northwest of the sole producing brine-based lithium mine operation in the North American, Rockwood Lithium Inc. Teels Marsh has been identified as a potential brine-based lithium target since the marsh contained an active geothermal system, a quality similar to other sites such as Clayton Valley and Alkali Lake that contain known lithium concentrations. It is located 120 miles south-east of Reno.
