Today, Voltaic Minerals Corp. announced to have confirmed historic brine flow from 5 oil and gas production wells on its 100% controlled Green Energy Project in Utah, USA.

The company now intends to enter the brine system via existing production wells on the property in order to perform a bulk sampling program to confirm the presence of the lithium-bearing zone, at an average depth of 6250 feet and to obtain data (e.g. flow rates, temperature, metallurgy and mineral composition).
