Lordsburg Lithium Exploration Project
ABOUT LORDSBURG LITHIUM EXPLORATION PROJECT
Lordsburg Overview
The Lordsburg Project comprises 355 BLM claims covering 29km2 and is located in the southwest corner of the state of New Mexico.
The project area is easily accessed along the I10 Interstate between Tucson (Arizona) and La Cruces (New Mexico) close to the New Mexico, Arizona border. Rail lines pass to the north of the Claim Block and through the lake system to the south.
The playa is contained in a closed basin that has nearly 4 times the drainage area when compared to Clayton Valley and like Clayton Valley is surrounded by Tertiary age volcanic rocks.
Surface sampling demonstrated the presence of Li values up to 160 ppm. The likely source of lithium would be geothermal brine in contact with a lithium enriched sediment.
Project Highlights
- 355 BLM claims covering 29km2
- 3 drilling locations have been proposed.
- High priority target area for drill testing.
Based on the work completed to date, 3 drilling locations have been proposed to further understand the Lordsburg Lithium Resource
2022 – Tomino Survey, Resource Potentials
- A passive seismic horizonal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) survey was acquired between October 2021 and February 2022.
- The purpose of this survey was to resolve the basin structure.
- The preliminary HVSR results show the deepest part of an asymmetric basin along a major normal fault within the centre-east part of the project.
- The deepest area of the interpreted acoustic bedrock represents a high priority target area for drill testing.
2022 – Titan Survey, Quantec Geoscience
- A 2D multiparameter survey was completed in 2022 to obtain detailed information on resistivity. The results can be used in conjunction with the Tromino survey to identify future drilling locations for testing.
2018 – Structural Mapping
- Photogeological interpretation of the playa to enable a better
understanding of the surface geology and the presence of
controlling structures. - Highlighted the presence of major extensional structures that led to the formation of both the north and south playas and demonstrated the presence of active seeps.
- This further understanding of the geology will enable better targeting of drill holes to test for the presence of lithium bearing
brines.
