ROVER METALS PROVIDES LOCATION MAP FOR NEW NEVADA LITHIUM PROJECT
Vancouver, British Columbia – (December 14, 2022) – Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE:4XO) (“Rover” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its Let’s Go Lithium (“LGL”) project. The Company has prepared a jurisdictional map of the prolific southwest Nevada lithium jurisdiction. LGL is located within jurisdiction, in the Amargosa Valley of Nevada.
Let’s Go Lithium Location and Regional Geology
LGL is located just seven and half miles (12 km) away from the historic Franklin Wells hectorite (a rare lithium smectite mineral) deposit. Mining at Franklin Wells dates back to the 1920’s. The regional geology of the Amargosa Valley is a basin-and-range structure with the Greenwater Range and Funeral Mountains to the west and the Amargosa Desert to the east. The Greenwater/Funeral mountains are fault-controlled with narrow interior valleys and are bounded by broad, coalescing alluvial fans. The Greenwater/Funeral mountains are composed of lower Paleozoic marine and metamorphic rocks. LGL is located in a large basin of clay rich Tertiary lakebed sediments, the major host rock for the other lithium claystone deposits in the southwest Nevada lithium jurisdiction. Historic water well drill logs spread across the roughly 6,000 acres of the LGL claim package suggest an average thickness of the clay beds of approximately 350 feet (~100 meters).
