Iconic Minerals intercepts conductivity zone at Bonnie

2016-08-25 07:09 ET - News Release

Mr. Richard Kern reports

ICONIC INTERCEPTS HIGH CONDUCTIVITY ZONE AT BONNIE CLAIRE LITHIUM PROPERTY, NEVADA

Iconic Minerals Ltd. has penetrated a higher conductivity zone believed to be the brine horizon in phase 1 drilling at the company's Bonnie Claire lithium project in Nevada. Drill hole BC 1601 has been completed to a depth of 1,560 feet (475 metres) and shows a substantial rise in conductivity beginning at 650 feet (198 m) in a sandy unit and continuing to a peak at 1,000 feet (328 m). A map showing the drill hole location (shown as DH1, the northernmost hole) can be found on the company's website.

The upper 600 feet (180 m) of the first drill hole are dominated by clay with only occasional sand and gravel beds. Below 650 feet (198 m) there is a significant increase in both the number of permeable beds and conductivity. Both drill cuttings and water/brine samples were taken while drilling. These samples contain drilling mud and injected water and are being tested for the purpose of determining the presence of lithium within the water/brine. Currently, perforated polyvinyl chloride casing is being inserted into the drill hole, where it will be cleared of all drilling mud, and a detailed uncontaminated brine sampling of all potential brine zones will be performed.

All of the sampling will be completed under the direction of an independent hydrogeologist, who will also be responsible for the security of the samples until they reach the geochem lab. Sample standards will be included with all brine samples submitted.

Richard Kern, certified professional geologist (No. 11494) and chief executive officer of Iconic, is the qualified person who has prepared and reviewed this press release in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards.

Iconic Minerals' Bonnie Claire lithium property

The property is located within a valley that is approximately 30 kilometres (19 miles) long and 20 km (12 miles) wide, the associated drainage basin covers an area of 2,070 square km (800 square miles). Quartz-rich volcanic rocks that contain anomalous amounts of lithium occur within and adjacent to the drainage basin. Geochemical analysis of the local salt flats has yielded lithium values up to 340 parts per million. The gravity low within the valley is 20 km (12 miles) long, and the current estimates of the depth to bedrock range from 600 to 900 metres (2,000 to 3,000 feet). The current claim block covers the gravity low and the associated mud flats.
