About twins
Gemini consists of 582 unpatented placer and vein claims (covering approximately nine square miles) in the western Lida Valley. County of Esmeraldaabout 10 kilometers east of the town of Lida, Nevada. The Lida Valley is a shallow, dry basin with a similar geological setting to the more well-known ones Clayton Valley Basin where Albermarle Corporation operates the Silver Peak lithium brine mine, which has been operating continuously since 1966.
Gemini is adjacent to the Gold Point Solar Energy Zone, a Bureau of Land Management land reserve earmarked for solar and wind power generation projects through 2033 – required for exploration and development of lithium brine projects in Nevada. According to the laws of NevadaNo water may be pumped from an underground source without a valid water permit.
In March 2022Nevada Sunrise has begun drilling geophysical targets at Gemini and has intersected significant zones of lithium mineralization in sediment and groundwater in the first two drill holes (see Nevada Sunrise press release dated June 6, 2022). Drilling will continue in 2023 with a Phase 2 drill program of up to six additional drill holes. Final geochemical assays for lithium in sediments and groundwater are pending for drill hole GEM23-03, which was completed in 2017 Mid December 2022.
