Victory Resources launches expanded geological sampling program on Smokey Lithium property in Nevada

Victory Resources Corporation (CSE:VR) (OTCMKTS:VRCFF) (FRA:VR62) announced that it has launched an extensive geological sampling program on its recently acquired Smokey Lithium property in Esmeralda County, Nevada.  The Vancouver-based junior international mining corporation said a team of two geologists has begun “an extensive two-week sampling project” on the Smokey Lithium property. The goal of the project is to sample the claystones using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzers, as well as collecting verification samples for submission for lab analysis.  Previous reconnaissance sampling by Victory returned anomalous lithium in claystone (i.e. more than 300 parts per million lithium) on the southwest part of the Smokey Lithium property. The current sampling program will greatly expand coverage and knowledge on major areas of the Smokey Lithium Property, where no previous sampling has occurred. During spring 2021, the property was mapped by Victory geologists to gather information to plan the current extensive sampling program.

These analyses will in turn guide an application for a proposed drill program. Confirmation samples will also be submitted to ALS for analysis. The company’s Smokey Lithium project is a clay lithium property around 20 miles north of Clayton Valley, and 20 miles west of American Lithium's flagship lithium project and its Black Diablo copper property. It also lies 25km northwest of Noram's Zeus Lithium Project and 35km southwest of American Lithium Corporation's Tonopah Lithium Claims Property in southwest Nevada. Esmeralda County Nevada is a prolific region for lithium clay deposits and has proven very large tonnage with acceptable grades in excess of 900 ppm.
