“A zone approximately 300 meters thick precisely exhibits the mineralization concentration of prior drilling—around 0.35% nickel equivalent. While not high-grade, Nikolai boasts continuity, homogeneity, and a consistent grade across each drilling, including nickel, copper, cobalt, chrome, iron, platinum and palladium.”

Gregory Beischer, President and CEO, Alaska Energy Metals

“Historic drill holes showed exceptional results, with manganese grades of 40-50%. Our current resource estimate, announced in May 2024, indicates over 6.2 million t of 19.27% manganese in the Indicated category, and about 4.9 million t at 17.5% in the Inferred category at a cutoff grade of 10%.”

Brian Savage, CEO, Electric Metals

“The March 2024 resource estimate is the initial phase of our efforts. Our near-term goal is drilling to better define and expand the resource. We are collaborating with several DLE providers who are testing our brine to determine if we can produce battery-grade lithium.”

Steve Hanson, President and CEO, ACME Lithium

“Of 38 soil samples, 33 had lithium concentrations of over 100 ppm, with an average of 131 ppm and a high of 180 ppm at the surface. We will conduct auger drilling to reach the water table and geophysics to map the basin.”
