The perfect lithium basin? Belmont to prove the case with deep drilling

Today, Belmont Resources Inc. reported that the 3D interpretation of the recently completed gravity survey on its Kibby Basin Property in Nevada has been received from Wright Geophysics Inc. The results have further enhanced the potential to host lithium-bearing brines in a geologic setting similar to the continental brine model ascribed to the Clayton Valley. The company is now extending the land position to the east (to cover a major structure bounding the basin’s east side) and to the north-northeast (to cover a portion of the deep part of the basin). Drilling and sampling are being planned and expected to start shortly. With a current market capitalization of less than $3 million, the company is opined to offer a second-to-none appreciation potential in case the upcoming drill program turns out positive, as Rockstone anticipates.

elmont has received a Gravity Survey Interpretation Report from Wright Geophysics Inc.

The detailed gravity survey confirms the large scale structural hypothesis of a pull-apart basin and also added considerable structural detail. A basin model is generated which reveals the basin to be on the order of 4,000 m deep with an east-west asymmetry, the east side being steeper than the west.

This asymmetry is similar to the Clayton Valley basin as described by Zampirro in 2003. In addition, the asymmetry ap-pears to be an important control to brine entrapment at the Clayton Valley deposit.

A 7.4 kilometer long structure is identi-fied in Kibby Valley with characteristics interpreted to be akin to major struc-tures bounding the south side of Clayton Valley. As a result of the positive results returned from the gravity survey, Wright Geophysics and Mr. Hunsaker, Consult-ing Geologist, have recommended ex-tending the land position east to cover the major structure bounding the basin’s east side; and to the north-northeast to cover a portion of the deep part of the basin where it extends northward from the original Kibby claims. The grav-ity survey identifies several significant structures that juxtapose rocks of differ-ing densities that are most likely basin-

fill sediments faulted against the base-ment rocks. Vojtech Agyagos, Belmont’s CEO and President, commented today:

“The gravity survey and derived basin model fits the Clayton Valley model in sufficient detail as to certainly warrant further exploration. Phase 2 - Drilling and sampling are now being planned.”

Rockstone is looking forward to the up-coming drill program as a sampling of brine at the basin low may result in the discovery of lithium with grades similar to the Clayton Valley when it started lith-ium production in the 1960s (estimated at >400 mg/L lithium).

The basin reaches a maximum depth approaching 4000 m with a fair amount of complexity along the basin margins. The overall “Z” shape to the basin, observed by Wright (2016), is even more pronounced in the basin model.

According to today’s published Gravity Survey Interpretation Report:

“The second major factor controlling the viability of a given model is assigning the correct density for basin fill. A single drill hole is located within the basin as shown in Figure [1]. This is an oil and gas exploration hole drilled in 1969 by Monte Cristo Oil Corporation. No lithologic logs are available; however, a down-hole density log is available via the Nevada Bureau of Mines. Examination of the log suggests an overall density of 2.1 g/cc is appropriate for the basin fill. This is a typical and reasonable value for basin fill...

Also, an examination of the density log reveals the densities increase near the 1200 m depth and show a sustained average level of 2.3 g/cc to 2.4 g/cc to the bottom of the hole at 1455 m (4776’). This density is below of 2.6 g/cc estimated for the bedrock; however, it could well be indicating weathered bedrock or a basal unit in the fill material. Interestingly, the basin gravity model places the bedrock at a depth of 1200 m in the vicinity of the drill hole...

The model reveals a north – south elongated basin with a depth approaching 4000 m, which is not unusual for basins in the Walker Lane. Of note is the asymmetry in the basin’s east – west profile.

Figure [2] shows a section across the basin model 600 m north of the property’s north boundary. This section is typical for much of the length of the basin. The west side of the basin is typified by several smaller magnitude structures down-dropping the basin, while the east side is controlled by what appears to be one large magnitude structure. This structure is denoted in Figures [3] and [4] with a heavy dashed line. It is very prominent in the gradient (i.e. Figure 3). The basin is terminated and left laterally offset by major west-northwest structures to the north and south...

Zampirro (2003) reviewed the lithium brine geology and geometries in the Clay-ton Valley deposit (the 3 figures to the right present a collection of partial figures from his report).

The brines are contained in several layers located along the south margin of Clayton Valley adjacent to the Cross Central and Paymaster Canyon faults, which form the south edge of the valley.

Furthermore, the aquifers are controlled by porous layers dipping to the south into the structures and, in the case of the mar-ginal gravel aquifer, ponded by the struc-tures. Clearly, dipping of porous basin sediments toward a major basin bound-ing structure is geometry conducive to brine containment.

A similar geometry is suggested by the basin model and associated structural interpretation for the Kibby Basin. Of course, the model neither predicts the dip of basin sediments nor if the sedi-ments contain lithium brines. Neverthe-less, the basin geometry is sufficiently similar to the Clayton Valley deposit as to deserve additional exploration effort.

At Kibby Basin the large structure along the east side of the basin would be an-alogous to the Cross Central and Pay-master Canyon faults in Clayton Valley.

As Kibby Basin was pulled apart, one could imagine blocks of basin fill being ro-tated to the east as the large east bound-ing structure accommodated the major-ity of the extension.

Other structures and structural inter-sections bounding the main Kibby Basin should also be considered as possible targets for brine concentrations. Indeed, Zampirro (2003) notes structural inter-sections may have controlled brine con-centration in Clayton Valley.

As noted by Wright (2016), blocks of young basalt (QTb) are likely located within the basin fill and could well serve as traps or barriers to basin brine lateral movement. This type of brine trap is cer-tainly unusual but should receive some consideration.”

Conclusion

Rockstone is impressed by the results of the recently completed and interpreted gravity survey on Belmont’s 100% owned Kibby Basin Property, which is located 65 km north of the infamous Clayton Valley in Nevada and thus closer to Tesla Mo-tors’ Gigafactory #1 near Sparks, Nevada.

The grand opening of the near-by Gigafactory is expected this summer and is anticipated to fuel the next bull phase for junior lithium explorers active in North America. Global media will be reporting in a highly increased fashion about this major inauguration, the last milestone needed to officially start North America’s “green energy revolution”).

Most recently, the German govern-ment moved to make all cars electric by 2030 (today, only 0.6% of cars on roads in Germany are electric or hy-brid, thus the market growth potential is immense). “It would be impossible to halve road emissions by 2030 with-out legislation that directly or indirect-ly ushers in a phase-out of diesel and gasoline vehicle production,“ said Oliver Krischer, vice chairman of the opposition Green Party, in an interview Wednesday. “What we need is a boost of e-cars to reach the climate goal that Germany and other countries committed to at the world climate conference in Paris last year.” Merkel’s government pledged subsidies this year to speed EV and plug-in sales, a move that was accelerated by Volkswa-gen’s emission-manipulation scandal. Currently, buyers of EVs and plug-in ve-hicles can claim cash incentives. The pro-gram may spark sales of about 500,000 electric cars by 2020, according to the Environment Ministry. Purely electric ve-hicles as a portion of all cars on German roads may reach about 8% in 2025 from 0.6% this year, according to a forecast of the Center of Automotive Management institute. The government has so far stuck with a plan to put a million EVs on the road by 2020 and 6 million by 2030.

After the buying frenzy of lithium stocks in early 2016, the market cooled off with a healthy correction, potentially provid-ing the perfect buying phase for the next wave up, which is anticipated to start

weeks before the official opening of the Gigafactory. As such, the upcoming deep drilling program on Belmont’s Kibby Basin Property is opined to generate increased investors’ interest, especially if relatively high lithium grades can be encountered.

Despite numerous exploration efforts, no other valley or basin outside of the Clayton Valley in Nevada has yet sam-pled lithium-rich brines with deep drill-ing. Belmont is well on track to become the first one, potentially creating a new investors’ focus away from the Clayton Valley, where water rights issues and an official protest from NYSE-listed Albe-marle Corp. (>$9 billion USD market cap-italization; the only lithium brine produ-cer in North America) have somewhat muted the hopes for the Clayton Valley to become an expandable lithium source for the Gigafactory. As soon as any other basin around Nevada has discovered lithium-rich brines with deep drilling, Rockstone expects a new shift away from the “overappropiated” Clayton Valley.

With its large property on top of a basin low, Belmont has the potential to be-come one of the best performing lithium stocks in 2016, provided the upcoming drilling turns out positive and a lith-ium-rich brine can be proven.

When Clayton Valley’s Silver Peak Mine (owned by Albermarle since 2015) start-ed lithium production in the 1960s, the grades were much higher (>400 mg/L) than today (estimated between 100-200 mg/L) due to depletion of the deposit over time.

As the Kibby Basin has potential to host lithium-bearing brines in a geologic set-ting similar to the continental brine model ascribed to the Clayton Valley, the Kibby Basin may host brine with a similar grade as the Clayton Valley originally had in the 1960s when operations started.

If Belmont’s upcoming drilling program proves that case, a new lithium stak-ing rush may head to the Kibby Basin, whereas it should be noted that Bel-mont already owns the most prospective ground in the basin (right on top of the basin low) and as such may become one of the most sought-after lithium plays in Nevada this year.

The 3D gravity model on the next page demonstrates the potential for a mas-sive underground brine reservoir with dimensions estimated at 4 km2 and at least 1.5 km deep. On top of all that, the chances of the water being geothermal (hot) are quite good to say the least.

Thanks to Belmont’s recently completed and interepreted gravity survey, the Kibby Basin is opined to be the most prospective area (out-side of the Clayton Valley) for lithium-rich brines in aquifers below surface. The upcoming deep drilling and sampling program may cre-ate significant shareholder value as Belmont is currently valued at less than $3 million CAD.
