LITTLE SMOKY VALLEY, NEVADA

Overview

The Little Smoky Valley Property (“LSV” or the “Property”) represents a greenfields lithium claystone exploration target located in Little Smoky Valley, Nevada (“Little Smoky Valley” or the “Valley”). It is adjacent to Clear Sky Lithium’s (CDS: POWR) ELi Property.

Ameriwest believes the Property has the potential to host a large claystone lithium deposit found in a sub-horizontal sequence of lacustrine, tuffaceous, mudstone, claystones, and siltstones. The Company plans to conduct detailed surface sampling in late 2022 with the goal of identifying drill targets to be permitted and drilled in 2023.

Location and Ownership

The Property is located 30 miles south of Eureka, Nevada. Ameriwest staked 104 mineral claims in 2022 and subsequently acquired 184 mineral claims from Port Mercantile Holdings Inc. to increase the size of the Property to 288 mineral claims totalling about 5,700 acres.

Geology

Ameriwest’s claims cover a sequence of volcanic sedimentary rocks of lower Miocene to Oligocene age including tuffs, claystones, and other volcaniclastic rock units that management believes has the potential to host lithium mineralization. A recent NI 43-101 Technical Report entitled “The ELi Sediment-Hosted Lithium Deposit, Eureka and Nye Counties, Nevada: Technical Report” was prepared by Robert J. Johansing, BSc Geology, MSc Economic Geology, QP MMSA, effective date January 4, 2022, is available under Clear Sky’s corporate filings at www.sedar.com. The Technical Report summarises soil sampling results from 133 soil samples on the ELi Property, consisting of 26 mineral claims, with results ranging from 44.5 to 801.7 ppm lithium. Ameriwest’s geologists have not verified the results reported by Clear Sky but believe the surrounding area, where the Company staked its claims, has potential for similar lithium mineralization, subject to exploration success.

Note, however, that the location of LSV adjacent to the ELi Property does not guarantee exploration success on LSV. No mineral resources or reserves have yet been defined on LSV.

SURFACE SAMPLING

Ameriwest initially plans to conduct surface soil and rock chip sampling on the property to confirm the presence of lithium. If successful, the Company will conduct further exploration activities such as geophysics and drilling.

Drilling

Drilling on the Property is not yet completed.

Resources and Reserves

No mineral resources or reserves have yet been delineated on the Property that have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101) or meet CIM standards for disclosure.

Next Steps

The company plans to conduct a surface sampling program in 2023.

DISCLAIMER

Geological similarity of this property to other adjacent or nearby properties does not guarantee exploration success. No mineral resources or reserves, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 standards or CIM standards have yet been delineated on the property.
