1.0 Summary

1.1 Introduction

Alan J. Morris, C.P.G. was retained to prepare a technical report on the early stage Dixie Valley project. The purpose of the report is to summarize the location, general geology, and previous exploration on this property, and its viability as a Property of Merit for continued exploration. This report is intended to comply with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101).

1.2 Property Location and History

The project is located in Dixie Valley, Nevada, about 160 air-line km east-northeast of Reno, Nevada in Sections 13, 24, 25, and 36, Township 23 North, Range 35 East; Sections 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33, Township 23 North, Range 36 East; Sections 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 23, and 24, Township 22 North, Range 35 East; Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 18, Township 22 North, Range 36 East, Mount Diablo Meridian, Churchill County, Nevada.

The center of the property is about 39.829° North Latitude, 117.989° West Longitude, (39° 49’ 30” N, 117° 56’ 57”): UTM X 417,500 UTMY 4,408,000 NAD 27; Zone 11 N.

1.3 Geology and Mineralization

Dixie Valley is located on the eastern margin of the Walker Lane, a structurally complex tectonic zone formed by interaction of the NNW trending strike-slip movement of the Pacific Plate and ENE – WSW extension of the Great Basin. This zone is still geologically very active with numerous earthquakes and recent volcanic activity. The interplay of the two structural regimes results in a trans-tensional environment characterized by deep rhombochasm basins and steep ranges. Since the extensional movement is on-going, the basins continue to sink, preserving the basin fill and fluids. Dixie Valley is more influenced by mostly east-west extension of the Great Basin and somewhat less by the strike – slip motion of the Walker Lane and its parent San Andreas Fault system.

The entire basin is about 98 km long and up to 16 km wide. Humboldt Salt Marsh, the central playa, is about 10 km northeast - southwest and 6 km east – west in extent. The basin is bounded on the west by the Stillwater Range and on the east by the Clan Alpine Range. Low divides in the valley floors mark the north and south boundaries of Dixie Valley.

The Stillwater and Clan Alpine Ranges are composed of thrust sheets of Triassic and Jurassic age marine sedimentary rocks and Jurassic intrusive complexes that were accreted to the North American continent during the Cretaceous. These rocks have in turn been intruded by Cretaceous and Tertiary igneous bodies and covered by their volcanic equivalents. In the southern Stillwater Range an entire Tertiary caldera complex, including the sub-volcanic intrusive body, is exposed in the range front.

At the end of the last ice age, water filled the central part of Dixie Valley to a depth of about 70 meters. Radiocarbon dating of tufa in Dixie Valley and adjacent valleys indicate high water stands at about 12,000 to 14,000 and 45,000 to 50,000 years ago. Hydrogen and oxygen isotope data indicate the vast majority of the water in Dixie Valley is ice age in origin indicating very little modern input into the basin. Other stable isotope studies show the basin water contains between 10 and 20 percent geothermal water presumably sourced from deep faults on the western side of the basin.

These ranges are fault bounded, with the greatest movement along the Stillwater Range (west) side of the valley. Vertical displacement along this fault complex is at least 3,000 meters, as evidenced by volcanic rocks exposed near the top of the range being found beneath 1,500 to 2,000 meters of post-volcanic valley fill. These faults are still very active with earthquakes greater than magnitude 6 occurring in 1915 and 1954.

In the area of the Humboldt Salt Marsh playa, the valley appears to be about 2,000 meters deep, primarily filled with poorly sorted coarse conglomerate, gravel, sand and silt with volcanic rocks, and tuff beds, and finer sediments in the lower third of the section (Blackwell et al, 2014). Multiple governmental, academic and industrial geophysical studies have been conducted in the valley to help guide geothermal exploration in other basins. However, many of the conclusions of these studies were shown to be incorrect by production drilling so studies continue to search for surface exploration methods that hold up better to drill testing.

Dixie Valley is home to a large and long-lived geothermal system that is still active. The Caithness Dixie Valley geothermal plant, about 18 km northeast of the center of the playa, is currently producing about 66 megawatts of power. The active geothermal system extends about 30 km roughly north – south along the range front fault. The heat source appears to be simple very deep circulation into the crust; it is not related to igneous activity. Miocene to recent volcanic rocks are found in the ranges and valleys.

Geologically recent air fall tuff from the Long Valley Caldera event (740,000 years before present) and minor eruptions from the Mono – Indio crater chain (latest event was about 650 years ago) form ash beds barely exposed on the surface but likely preserved in the basin.

These ashes are enriched in lithium and readily release at least part of it during devitrification and hydration reactions with meteoric water. Deep circulating geothermal waters may also leach lithium from deeper sources in addition to surface sources. The lithium released to the water is then concentrated by evaporation within the playa, forming a brine deposit that may be economic to extract and process (Munk et al, 2015, Price et al, 2000).

1.4 Exploration

As of this report, Nevada Energy Metals has not conducted any field work on the property other than some geologic reconnaissance and claim staking.

1.5 Drilling

Nevada Energy Metals has not conducted any drilling on the property to date. Geothermal production wells and re-injection wells provide some subsurface data but the majority of these

10

have targeted the range bounding structures on the western side of the valley that host the hottest water, not the more static and cooler central valley which hosts the lithium target.

1.6 Sample Preparation, Analysis and Security

As of the time of this report, no samples have been collected from this property by the current owners. Adjacent property owners and academic investigators have used a variety of sample preparation methods and analytical methods. At the time of the academic studies, sample security and chain of custody were not recorded.

1.7 Data Verification

No proprietary data have been identified or reviewed on this project area. All data used in preparation of this report are derived from public domain sources. These reports are authored by reputable individuals or organizations and are assumed to be factually accurate.

Information gleaned from 43-101 reports from adjacent properties is presumed to have been verified by the authors of those papers so will be used with attributions.

1.8 Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

Not applicable; no metallurgical work has been done on the property.

1.9 Mineral Resource Estimate

Not applicable; no significant work has been done on this property.

1.10 Conclusions and Recommendations

The geologic setting and presence of lithium in active geothermal fluids and surface salts in Dixie Valley match characteristics of lithium brine deposits at Clayton Valley, Nevada and in South America. While the geothermal fluids in Dixie Valley contain lithium in the 3 to 5 ppm range and surface silt samples contain up to 530 ppm lithium, at this point the lithium target in this basin is highly conceptual.

Although several workers have studied the geology of Dixie Valley in some detail for geothermal energy production, the lithium potential has not been specifically addressed. Essentially no exploration work for lithium has been done in this valley.

It is recommended that Nevada Energy Metals undertake a phased exploration program of surface sampling, auger or push drill water sampling, and geophysical work to choose drill sites for an initial drill test of the property. Execution of each phase and steps within the phases would be contingent on favorable results from the previous efforts.

The initial part of phase one would include data compilation, creation of GIS data sets and base maps, auger or shovel sampling of sediments and/or water, supervision and reporting. This phase is underway and will cost about $35,000.

Phase one should also include gravity, seismic, or other geophysical surveys of the claim block to determine the depths to bedrock and sub-surface structure. This work would be

NI 43-101 Technical Report Dixie Valley Project, Churchill County, Nevada Alan J. Morris CPG QP

11

supplemented by additional auger or deeper GeoProbe mud and water samples. This effort, including bonding, geologic supervision, and reporting, is budgeted at $200,000.

Phase two would be to drill test the property for lithium bearing brines and/or solids. Drilling, assays, and geologic supervision will run about $2,265,000. Depending on weather, rig availability, and permits, the drilling should also be broken into two stages to allow for results from the first round to guide locations for the second round.

The total budget for this program is in the $2,500,000 range and would be spread over about 6 months to a year depending on permitting, rig availability, and weather.

4.3 Property Agreements and Royalties

There is a three percent (3%) net smelter returns royalty on commercial production from the claims above in favor of Nevada Energy Metals.

4.4 Environmental Liability

No pre-existing environmental liability is known to exist on the property position.

4.5 Operational Permits and Jurisdictions

The project is located on open federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Permits are required for all significant surface disturbances. Geologic mapping, soil and rock sampling, and other low-impact activities can be conducted without specific permits on a casual use basis. Any road or trail construction used for mechanized equipment, drilling, or trenching will require a permit from the BLM. Up to five acres of disturbance are allowed on a

Page 19: NI 43-101 Technical Report - Nevada Energy Metals · NI 43-101 Technical Report Dixie Valley Project , Churchill County , Nevada, USA . Prepared for: Nevada Energy Metals Inc. 1220

NI 43-101 Technical Report Dixie Valley Project, Churchill County, Nevada Alan J. Morris CPG QP

19

Notice of Intent (NOI) level permit. The NOI can come with restrictions to protect biological, historical, or archeological resources. A performance bond is required to insure the required reclamation work is done.

Disturbance in excess of five acres requires a Plan of Operation which in turn requires an Environmental Assessment. This process is standard practice in Nevada and both the regulators and applicants follow a standard set of rules. Going to a Plan of Operation can require significant environmental and archeological assessment work before the permit can be issued. Lead times for a Plan of Operation can take up to a year or two depending on the environment and the extent of proposed operations. If the regulators consider the property large enough or in a sensitive area, an Environmental Impact Statement may be required before operating permits are granted.

At this point, exploration can be conducted under the casual use provision. As exploration progresses and surface disturbance occurs, Notice of Intent or Plan of Operations level permits will be applied for as required. Permits have not been applied for to conduct exploration beyond casual use on this property.

4.6 Requirements to Maintain the Claims in Good Standing

Claims are subject to a $155 rental fee per 20 acre placer claim due by September 1 each year. A “Notice of Intent to Hold” must also be filed with Churchill County by November 1 each year; the recording fee is $10.50 per claim and a $4.00 document fee for each filing. Based on these numbers, total holding costs for the current Dixie Valley claim block is $151,035.50. .

4.7 Mineral Tenure

The Humboldt Salt Marsh property is held via unpatented mining claims under provisions of the Federal Mining Act of 1872 as amended and regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. As long as the rental fees are paid and document filings are made correctly, the claims do not expire. A mining claim grants discovery rights and the exclusive right to explore and develop the claims but it does not give the holder an unfettered right to extract and sell minerals as there are multiple local, state, and federal regulatory approvals and permits required before this can take place.

4.8 Significant Risk Factors

The author is not aware of any significant factors or risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the property. The area is not within the parts of Nevada being proposed for withdrawal to mineral entry as part of the Greater Sage Grouse management plans. However, similar efforts to protect other species cannot be completely ruled out in the future.

As Nevada is on average the driest state in the nation, it has rather unique water rights laws. All water in the state is deemed the property of the state and water rights are granted by the state as a separate estate from the mineral or surface rights. The mineral rights obtained through the claim process for the lithium brine applies only to the dissolved minerals. The water remains the

property of the state and water rights must be obtained to pump the water, however unsuitable for drinking or agriculture, from the basin. The availability of suitable water rights in Dixie Valley was not researched as part of this report.

5.0 Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

Property access, climate, and physical setting are all favorable. The site is remote from large population centers but not so much that it has wilderness value. Normal weather and climate of the area would not hinder year-round access or interfere with exploration and mining activities. Winter rains and occasional thunderstorms can make the playa surface too soft for vehicle travel. The soft surface may require the construction of gravel pads and roads for production well drilling.

5.1 Accessibility

The project is located on the Humboldt Salt Marsh, a dry playa lake in the central part of Dixie Valley in eastern Churchill County, about 160 km east-northeast of Reno (100 miles) and about 65 km (40 miles) northeast of Fallon, NV. The entire basin is about 98 km long and up to 16 km wide. The extent of the Humboldt Salt Marsh central playa is about 10 km northeast – southwest and 6 km east – west. The basin is bounded on the west by the Stillwater Range and on the east by the Clan Alpine Range.

The nearest supply center is Fallon, Nevada, about 128 road km (80 miles) to the southwest. Fallon offers food, lodging, fuel and some exploration services. All mineral exploration services including supplies, analytical laboratories, and drilling service companies are available in Reno, Nevada (225 road km, 140 miles). Reno is the major supply center for exploration activity in Nevada. The nearest airport with commercial service is Reno, Nevada.

Access to the property is east from Fallon via paved highway US 50 for 64 km (39.8 miles) then north on state route 121 for 44 km (27.4 miles) then on a graveled road for about 25 km (15 miles) to the center of the property.

The highways are sufficient for transportation of exploration-size heavy equipment. A network of 4 wheel drive roads and ATV trails provide access to much of the property. Except for a few gravel mounds and sand dunes, all of the property is on a dry lake bed and is accessible by off-road drilling equipment using cross country travel. The playa surface is often muddy, especially in the spring and fall. Being essentially a salt pavement over mud, sinking a vehicle in the playa can occur even when the surface appears to be dry.

5.2 Climate and Physiography

The project area is located at an elevation of about 1030 meters (3380 feet) in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Basin and Range physiographic province. The area has hot dry summers and cool winters. For Fallon, the average high temperature for July is 33.4°C (92.1°F) with an average low of 12°C (53.9°F); in December the average high is 7.7 °C (46°F) with an average low of -7.2°C (19.1°F). http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?nvfall

25

Total precipitation for Dixie Valley averages 111 mm (4.38 inches) per year with most of this falling in late spring. Rainfall in this environment is highly variable with long dry periods interspersed with major downpours from thunderstorms in the March – October time frame. The State of Nevada, Division of Water Resources website (http://water.nv.gov/mapping/et/et_general.cfm) shows the evapotranspiration potential calculated for shallow open water in Clayton Valley is 1740 mm (5.7 feet) per year for a net deficit of 1615 mm (5.3 ft.) per year.

The property is in relatively flat terrain consisting of playa, sand dunes, and alluvial fans dissected by dry stream channels. Elevations range from 1030 meters (3380 feet) on the playa floor to about 2070 meters (6800 feet) at the crest of the Stillwater Range. Vegetation is minimal consisting primarily of low growing desert shrubs with small forbs between them. The dominant plant on the alluvium is a variety of shad scale. Some small pinyon – juniper trees are found on the upper slopes.

Drilling and exploration access to any point on the property should be fairly easy when the playa is dry. Most points are accessible by ATV for exploration but this is discouraged by the BLM to avoid pioneering new roads.

5.3 Local Resources and Infrastructure

Other than county-maintained gravel roads and unimproved dirt trails, infrastructure on the property is negligible.

The Dixie Valley Geothermal Power plant located about 10 km to the north of the property produces about 63 megawatts of power at normal production levels. The northern Nevada power grid ties into this plant, offering an opportunity for electric power for any operations at this property.

Water quality studies of the springs on the west side of the valley show them to be of suffcient quality to use for drilling and other exploration uses. At this time, a specific source of exploration water has not been identified. As development proceeds, some exploration wells will likely be completed as water wells to provide operational water.

The footprint required for development of lithium brine or clay operation in Dixie Valley is not known at this time since neither the location nor size of the deposit nor the type of processing facility required is not yet known. The playa surface and adjacent low slopes offer plenty of room for facilities if needed. The BLM has demonstrated a willingness at several Nevada mines to swap low quality (for grazing and wildlife) land to be used for processing facilities and buildings for higher quality ranch land (purchased on the open market by the mining company).

Supplies, lodging, food, and fuel are available at Fallon, Lovelock or Austin, Nevada. Fallon and Lovelock also offer some heavy equipment operators for road and drill site construction.

Drill rigs would likely need to come from Fallon or the major regional hub for drilling at Elko, Nevada (416 road km, 259 road miles). In many cases, the drill rig will already be in the area working on other jobs so mobilization distances may be less.

Mining is a common occupation in the area with several small-to moderate-sized mines opening and closing in the Hawthorne – Fallon – Lovelock area over the past several decades. A well-trained and experienced mining workforce pool is available in Nevada that will flow to where it is needed.

6.0 History

6.1 Regional Mining History

The area was likely prospected as early as the late 1840’s or early 1850’s. The main rush to the Comstock Lode in Virginia City, Nevada started about 1859. Prospectors fanned out from that camp and found several other base and precious metal camps in the western Sierra foothills and across the state. Mineralization at the Dixie Comstock mine was discovered in 1934 by prospectors panning the drainages on the eastern side of the Stillwater Range. The Stillwater Range also hosts small occurrences of other minerals, with copper, mercury, iron, and titanium being reported (Willden and Speed, 1974).

In addition to the hard rock mining, mining of salt and borates from numerous dry lake beds and “alkali springs” in the area took place to supply the larger camps (notably the Comstock / Virginia City District); salt was used for the vat leach mills and borax flux was used for the smelters. Dixie Valley was the site of the earliest commercial production of salt in Nevada. A “large amount” of salt was produced from the playa from 1861 to 1868. The salt was scraped from the surface with hoes and shipped to Virginia City and other districts as far away as Idaho via freight wagons. Construction of the Central Pacific railroad made the local production of salt uneconomic. Ten box car loads of borax were reportedly mined from the northern part of the playa in the early 1870’s (Papke, 1976).

6.2 Property History

Other than the exploitation of the playa crust for salt and borax, no other mining has occurred on the claims. Because of the active thermal springs on the western side of Dixie Valley, geothermal energy exploration was undertaken starting about 1974; these studies continue to the present.

Production drilling for the Caithness Dixie Valley geothermal plant, located about 18 km northeast of the center of the playa, started in 1994. It is currently producing about 66 megawatts of power. The active geothermal system extends about 30 km roughly north – south along the range front fault. The heat source appears to be simple very deep circulation into the crust; it is not related to igneous activity.

As far as is known, no other significant exploration has taken place on the current property.

7.0 Geological Setting and Mineralization

7.1 Regional Geology

The Stillwater and Clan Alpine Ranges are composed of thrust sheets of Triassic and Jurassic age marine sedimentary rocks and Jurassic intrusive complexes that were accreted to the North American continent during the Cretaceous. These rocks have in turn been intruded by Cretaceous and Tertiary stocks and dikes and covered by their volcanic equivalents. In the southern Stillwater Range, an entire Tertiary caldera complex, including the sub-volcanic intrusive body is exposed.

These ranges are fault bounded, with the greatest movement along the Stillwater Range (west) side of the valley. Vertical displacement along this fault complex is at least 3,000 meters, as evidenced by volcanic rocks exposed near the top of range also being found beneath 1,500 to 2,000 meters of post-volcanic valley fill. These faults are still very active with earthquakes greater than magnitude 6 occurring in 1915 and 1954.

The most recent igneous activity is marked by relatively young basaltic cones scattered throughout the Walker Lane but not within or nearby Dixie Valley. The most spectacular geologically recent event was the eruption of the Long Valley Caldera (~740,000 years ago) when some 6.3 cubic kilometers (1.5 cubic miles) of ash blasted across the western US. The most recent volcanic activity in the western Nevada area was a series of glass and tuff eruptions known as the Mono – Inyo Volcanic chain with the last event occurring in about 1350 AD.

The tuffs for the Long Valley and Mono-Inyo eruptions are strongly enriched in lithium compared to world-wide averages and are likely the source rock for lithium brines in Nevada (Hofstra et al, 2013, Price et al, 2000).

7.2 Property Geology

Dixie Valley is a closed fault-bounded basin with the lowest elevation point (1031 m, 3383 ft.) in the Northern Great Basin on the Humboldt Salt Marsh playa. Age dating and other work at the Dixie Comstock Mine indicate gold mineralization occurred about 500,000 to 350,000 years ago along a range bounding structure that has been offset at least 100 meters since that time (Vikre, 1995). Faulting dated at about 11.1 to 15 million years before present resulted in at least an ancestral Dixie Valley existing from that time until the present. The basin is tectonically active with visible fault scarps formed during earthquakes in 1915 (Mw ~ 7.2) and 1954 (Mw ~ 6.9). With up to 6 meters of dip-slip offset along some of these scarps, it is clear that Dixie Valley is still subsiding.

In the area of the Humboldt Salt Marsh playa, the valley appears to be about 2,000 meters deep, primarily filled with poorly sorted coarse conglomerate, gravel, sand and silt with volcanic rocks, and tuff beds, and finer sediments in the lower third of the section (Blackwell et al, 2014). Multiple governmental, academic and industrial geophysical studies have been conducted in the valley to help guide geothermal exploration in other basins. However, many of the conclusions

Page 28: NI 43-101 Technical Report - Nevada Energy Metals · NI 43-101 Technical Report Dixie Valley Project , Churchill County , Nevada, USA . Prepared for: Nevada Energy Metals Inc. 1220

NI 43-101 Technical Report Dixie Valley Project, Churchill County, Nevada Alan J. Morris CPG QP

28

of these studies were shown to be incorrect by production drilling so studies continue to look for surface exploration methods that hold up better to drill testing.

Within the playa, the majority of the exposure is very fine lake bed clays and wind-blown sand. Outcrops of iron rich travertine and algal mound tufa are found around the springs to the west of the property. Due to the very early exploration stage of this property, NVEM has not conducted any new geologic mapping on the property.

At the end of the last ice age, water filled the central part of Dixie Valley to a depth of about 70 meters. Radiocarbon dating of tufa in Dixie Valley and adjacent valleys indicate high water stands at about 12,000 to 14,000 and 45,000 to 50,000 years ago. Hydrogen and oxygen isotope data indicates the vast majority of the water in Dixie Valley is ice age in origin, showing very little modern input into the basin (Blackwell et al 2003 and 2007).

7.3 Mineralization

Exposed mineralization is confined to salt crust on the playa surface and other locations in the valley. Since lithium brine is not well defined as “mineralization” in the conventional sense, it is hard to identify in outcrop exposures; it can only truly be identified in water via chemical analysis (Houston, 2011).

7.4 Alteration

Other than a few scabs of travertine and tufa, no outcropping alteration has been identified on the property. Again, the concepts of alteration and mineralization are different when applied to brines as compared to traditional hard rock mineral deposits. Alteration in this deposit class might well be finding beds of altered glass that are depleted in lithium when compared to unaltered glass and tuff. The alteration in this case would indicate not that metals or metal related fluids have passed through the rock but that fluids capable of mobilizing lithium out of the source rocks and carrying it away have passed through.

8.0 Deposit Type The main mineral target at Dixie Valley is a playa-related lithium brine deposit similar to productive playas in Clayton Valley, Nevada and several areas of South America. The Dixie Valley lithium project is a conceptual exploration play based on solid geologic information and favorable comparison to the lithium brine model.

8.1 Exploration Model

The target model is a lithium brine model based on Clayton Valley, Nevada and several basins in South America. US Geological Survey Open File Report 2013-1006 lays out seven characteristics of lithium brine deposits (Bradley et al 2013).

The characteristics are:

1. Arid Climate

2. Closed Basin containing a playa or salar

3. Tectonically driven subsidence

4. Associated igneous or geothermal activity

5. Suitable lithium source rocks

6. One or more adequate aquifers

7. Sufficient time to concentrate brine.

The Dixie Valley Project is known to have all seven of these characteristics. How closely this project fits the model for a lithium brine deposit is not necessarily a warranty that an economic deposit will be found here but it is useful as a screening tool to guide exploration efforts.

Dixie Valley is arid: the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources website (www.water.nv.gov/mapping/et/et_general.cfm) shows a 1.3 meter (4.3 ft.) Net Irrigation Water Requirement (NIWR – the net of evapo-transpiration minus effective precipitation) for shallow open water and about 1 meter for low managed pasture grass. Isotopic studies (Blackwell et al 2014) indicate the majority of the water in the basin is of ice age origin, and what little modern precipitation that reaches the valley does not contribute significantly to the ground water.

Dixie Valley is a closed fault-bounded basin with the lowest elevation point (1031 m, 3383 ft.) in the Northern Great Basin on the Humboldt Salt Marsh playa. The basin is tectonically active with visible fault scarps formed during earthquakes in 1915 (Mw ~ 7.2) and 1954 (Mw ~ 6.9). With up to 6 meters of dip-slip offset along some of these scarps, it is clear that Dixie Valley is still subsiding. Given the valley has been a closed basin for at least 500,000 years and probably much longer, plenty of time has elapsed for evaporative concentration of lithium bearing geothermal and surface water.

Specific lithium-rich source rocks have not been clearly identified in this basin but Miocene age felsic ashflows are found in the ranges on all sides, along with shallow intrusive bodies of similar composition. Geothermal water in the basin contains up to 4.89 ppm Li and stream sediment samples from the Stillwater Range show values up to 88 ppm Li. Geologically recent volcanic ash from the Long Valley Caldera (Bishop Tuff) and Mono Craters are expected to be found within the catchment area of the basin and within the basin fill sediments. One major productive

32

horizon in the Clayton Valley brine field is thought to be Bishop Tuff deposited and preserved in the basin (Zampirro, 2004).

The conceptual model is the following: as the basin goes through multiple wet and dry periods, lithium dissolved by deep circulating geothermal fluids or leached from local rock units by surface and near surface water is concentrated by evaporation beneath the playa. Heavier brines sink into the deeper levels of the basin or flow downward along tilted permeable beds, potentially forming subsurface pools of lithium-rich fluids.

At the Clayton Valley lithium operation, several different stratigraphic horizons produce lithium brines. These form distinct geologic units and can be correlated from hole to hole in different parts of the basin. One of the most prolific is the “Main Ash Aquifer” and is considered to correlate with the Bishop Tuff (Zampirro, 2004).

Brine exploration can be likened to oil exploration where specific geologic units will be productive while others may be barren or even dilute the target fluid. Drilling of production holes will likely be accomplished by commercial (municipal or irrigation) size water well equipment. These rigs are capable of drilling large diameter holes and casing the holes in such a way to pull from specific intervals and prevent flow from one aquifer to another.

Although the exploration model for this project is based on the Clayton Valley deposit and it is comparable geologically, it is not a sure thing that economic deposits of lithium will be found in this area. Dixie Valley has not been previously explored for lithium potential so by definition, it is not known what will be found.

9.0 Exploration

9.1 Surface Exploration

No formal surface exploration of the property has been conducted by Nevada Energy Metals at this point.

9.2 Geophysical Surveys

Dixie Valley has been used as a test case to develop and test geophysical methods for exploration and development of active geothermal systems. The majority of the detailed surveys were run over the producing steam field to the northwest of the property (Blackwell et al, 2014). Methods used included several types of gravity, magnetic, magnetotelluric, seismic, radiometric, and hyperspectral remote sensing. A detailed discussion of all of the methods and their results is beyond the scope of this report. Details are discussed in Blackwell et al (2003, 2007, and 2014).

Several gravity surveys were run in Dixie Valley from the mid-1970’s through 2013 by several groups with varying densities, goals, and methods. The map below is from a compilation published in Blackwell et al, 2014. The gravity data show a deep valley filled with alluvial debris that was deposited at a slightly slower rate than the subsidence rate of the valley. Gravity work, along with active and passive seismic studies, shows a predominantly trap-door style valley with

a steep west side and more shallowly dipping pediment on the east. Several potential cross faults and structural disruptions are seen in the data. Structural bends and intersections are the apparent focus of geothermal fluid flow but production drill holes show a much more complicated pattern. These complications, at least partially, are the result of trying to hit high angle structures with vertical or near vertical wells.

A 940 square kilometer high resolution helicopter airborne magnetic survey was flown over the valley and adjacent ranges in 2002. East – west flight lines were spaced at 200 meters with north-south tie lines on 1000 meter spacing. Nominal instrument altitude was 120 meters AGL. Results of the survey were comparable with previous lower resolution ground and airborne surveys but improved resolution yielded greater detail. The survey was very effective in extending the trace of known surface faults under cover and identifying parallel faults under valley fill and pediment gravel. The magnetic anomalies are produced when rock units of different magnetic characteristics meet each other at fault contacts. These features can be seen in standard reduced to pole magnetic intensity plot but are enhanced in horizontal gradient plots. Hydrothermal alteration often destroys mafic (iron – magnesium) minerals in igneous rocks and derived sediments resulting in areas of lower magnetic intensity that may map these conduits. The drawback is the survey cannot tell if this alteration is the result of currently active or extinct geothermal systems.

Both magnetic and gravity data show the existence of “growth” faults where the amount of offset is greater at depth than in the near surface, indicating continuous slippage along the fault as the resulting basin was filled. Faults also do not continue forever along a specific plane, the energy that causes a single major fault can dissipate along a zone of smaller structures and then reform into a single strand, parallel or subparallel to the original structure but offset from the original trend. These “horsetails” are often the site of enhanced fluid flow because the single main structures squeeze closed while the network of smaller offset structures remains open. Because of the shallow depth, recent formation, and active fluid flow along faults in Dixie Valley, these features can be directly observed in the surface geology and indirectly in the geophysics.

From a lithium exploration standpoint, these zones of enhanced fluid flow can represent either sources of lithium-bearing water into an evaporative concentration process or drill targets where fracture-enhanced permeability will allow faster pumping rates.

Two seismic lines were run across the producing geothermal field north of the claim block. These lines support the trapdoor shape to the valley; beds on the western side of the valley dip to the east while beds on the east side dip west. The western beds dip more steeply than those on the east. The growth fault concept is also validated: deeper beds show steeper dips than the shallower beds. The implication for lithium brine exploration is the older, deeper beds will act as conduits directing heavier brines and lithium leached in situ from contained ash beds to the center of the valley, potentially forming a “bathtub” of concentrated brine.

9.2 Geochemical Exploration

The geochemical work done in the valley and to a certain extent at the Dixie-Comstock Mine was directed to determining the age, origin, and potential temperature of the geothermal fluids. Lithium was not a metal of interest but was run on some of the geothermal fluids as a temperature indicator. Maximum lithium values reported in the geothermal fluids (wells and springs) are in the 4 to 5 ppm range with most in the 2 - 3 ppm range. This is about 2 orders of magnitude less than economic lithium brines at Clayton Valley but this degree of concentration has been reported in other basins. Lithium is apparently lost from production fluids after the heat has been extracted. At this point, the researchers have not offered an explanation of where it goes (Blackwell et al 2014).

Twenty two stream sediment samples from drainages in the Stillwater Range that flow into Dixie Valley averaged 45 ppm Li with a range of 10 to 88 ppm (USGS NURE and RASS geochemical databases). Leaching of lithium from volcanic ash and other rocks in the ranges around the basin is also a likely source of metal. In situ leaching and concentration of lithium in ash layers within the basin fill is also a potential exploration target.

Water balance calculations in Blackwell et al, 2014 (pp 57 – 60) indicate the basin is in a steady state, with evaporation essentially balanced with inflows of meteoric and geothermal water. Apparently, much of the precipitation falling in the Clan Alpine and Stillwater Ranges enters the basin as shallow ground water flowing through permeable beds in the alluvial fans rather than as runoff. Several artesian wells and springs are found on the margins of the valleys. Using major element geochemistry, Blackwell et al estimate the shallow ground water in Dixie Valley is about 10 to 25 percent geothermal fluid diluted by meteoric water. This steady state of inflow vs. evaporation is obviously an average since precipitation varies widely year to year. Shallow ground water in the basin has a colder isotopic signature than precipitation falling in the ranges. This indicates most of the water in the basin originally fell as snow during ice ages.

Soil samples collected and analyzed by the USGS in Dixie Valley returned lithium values >100 ppm in 27 of the 189 samples collected. The highest value was 540 ppm. These samples were taken from the playa crust and soils at a depth of 0 to 5 cm. (Hinkle et al 1995). The sampling was directed at detecting active geothermal systems thus the lines were laid out to test known fluid pathways. The higher values were collected to the east of the power plant with the highest of those over apparent structures. None of these samples were collected from the claim block but they do indicate that low to moderate levels of lithium in the springs and geothermal waters are concentrating in the playa salts and brines.

10.0 Drilling Although Dixie Valley has been the site of considerable drilling for geothermal energy exploration and development, none has been directed at lithium brine or minerals. Drilling at the Dixie-Comstock mine is confined to exploration of the vein system developed in a splay of the range front fault.

Some summary drill logs and other information from the geothermal drilling to help map basin geology and calibrate geophysical models are available in the public domain. However, most of this is for holes outside of the project area.

11.0 Sample Preparation, Analysis and Security Nevada Energy Metals has not yet collected any samples from the property. Sample handling protocol for any samples taken by Nevada Energy Metals will be in compliance with industry standards. Samples collected by employees or contractors will be placed in the appropriate container and marked in the field with the sample number and, where possible, a second sample number tag will be placed inside of the sample container as a check on the external number. Samples will be secured in locked vehicles or storage facilities until they are delivered to the analytical laboratory.

12.0 Data Verification No previous proprietary data has been identified or reviewed on this project area. All data used in the preparation of this report is derived from published reports. These reports are authored by reputable agencies or academics and are assumed to be factually accurate.

Information gleaned from 43-101 reports from adjacent properties is presumed to have been verified by the authors of those papers so will be used with attributions.

13.0 Mineral Processing and Metallurgy Not applicable at this point.

14.0 Mineral Resource Estimates Not applicable.

23.0 Adjacent Properties Other than the Dixie Comstock gold mine and the Caithness Geothermal Power Plant previously discussed, no significant claim blocks or mining operations are present in Dixie Valley.

24.0 Other Relevant Data and Information The author is not aware of any other information about the project area that has not been discussed.

25.0 Interpretation and Conclusions Dixie Valley compares favorably with producing brine deposits in Clayton Valley, Nevada and similar operations in South America. Lithium is present in the geothermal fluids in the 2 – 5 ppm range, in playa silts and soil in the 30 – 530 ppm range, and in potential volcanic ash source beds. The district has all of the characteristics outlined in the USGS model for lithium brine deposits (Bradley 2013).

While based on solid but limited geologic information, at this point the Humboldt Salt Marsh lithium project is a conceptual exploration play. Essentially no exploration work for lithium has been done in this valley. A substantial body of geologic, geophysical and some geochemical work related to the active geothermal systems will serve as a base on which to build more detailed work. Gravity surveys have proven to be the most useful method in defining subsurface topography, and sufficient drilling data exists to calibrate three dimensional modeling of the data.

The majority of the drilling has been directed at the basin-bounding faults which host the geothermal fluids. The target for lithium exploration will be more towards the center of the basin where evaporative concentration of geothermal and meteoric water into brines and subsequent sinking of the denser brines into gravity traps may produce economic concentrations. Understanding (largely through geophysical surveys) of the subsurface topography and stratigraphy will be critical to identifying trapping features and drill targets. Initial work will also include auger or push rod type mud sampling to prove lithium has concentrated in evaporite minerals and interstitial fluids within the playa sediments.

26.0 Recommendations A phased exploration program should be undertaken at Dixie Valley Project to test the property for a lithium brine or clay deposit. Follow on work will be contingent on the results obtained in the previous efforts. If sufficient encouraging results are not obtained at any point in the process, subsequent plans should be revised.

The first phase is building the geologic infrastructure through data compilation, construction of base maps and GIS databases. Geologic reconnaissance and geochemical analysis of surface rock, mud, and sinter samples will also be conducted during this phase. Additional test auger sampling to collect lake bed material below sand dunes and alluvial cover may also be part of the initial program. The budget for this phase, including geologic supervision and preparation of all reports, is $35,000.

The second step in phase one would be to determine the sub-surface structure and topography in order to identify drill targets. This would require a geophysical survey using gravity, seismic or magnetotelluric techniques. Systematic shovel, auger, or push drilling to collect mud and/or

water samples and geochemical analysis of these samples will also be part of this program. The budget for this phase of the project, including permitting if needed, geologic supervision, reporting, and interpretation, is $200,000.

Phase 2 would be to drill the best targets identified in the first two phases. This would be the most costly, both for the drill holes themselves and for the expensive water analysis that is required for brine testing. The budget for this phase is $2,265,000, including drilling, assays, permits, and reporting. Phase 2 would likely be broken into two campaigns to allow for results from the first effort to guide the second program.

The total proposed budget is $2,500,000, exclusive of land holding costs. Results of each phase or campaign will be used to modify the subsequent steps to insure the most cost-effective use of the exploration funds.
