Ameriwest Lithium’s newest acquisition, Thompson Valley,  is a prospective lithium sedimentary deposit with surface or near-surface exposure of lithium-bearing clays, with historic grades similar to those found in similar deposits in Clayton Valley

• Ameriwest has been awarded seven exploration permits by the Arizona State Land Department to explore for prospective lithium-bearing clays located on nearly 2,859 acres (1,157 hectares) in west-central Arizona’s Thompson Valley.
• The location has good access and is not far from State Highway 93, 120 miles (190 km) north of Phoenix. 
• The deposits are shallow, occurring at or near the surface, and it has been reported that the overall clay sequence is 70 feet (21 m) thick, containing a hectorite bed with a thickness ranging from 8 to 35 feet (2.4 to 11 m) as a relatively uniform deposit over the area.*
• Ameriwest will be moving towards a field exploration program of geologic mapping and surface sampling to better define the extent and grade of the deposit.
