[{"type":"text","content":"A.I.S. Resources Limited Announces Guayatayoc Sample Program Results(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / February 22, 2017 - A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX - NEX: AIS.H, OTCQB:AISSF) (the \"Company\" or \"AIS\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced the first phase of its surface sampling program to examine the boron-lithium relationship in the surface brines. The results of the pit sampling program at Guayatayoc Salar have been received from the National Measurement Institute in Sydney Australia. Professor Dr Ricardo N Alonso supervised the collection of samples. \n\n\n \nThe company has also been accepted for listing to the OTCQB effective January 18, 2017. \n\n\n \nHighlights\n\n\n \n\n\n-The exploration sampling was completed along the eastern boundary of the Guayatayoc concessions in a rectangular pattern. \n\n\n\n-This analysis allows surface maps to be made showing isobars of lithium, boron and potassium, prior to CSAMT seismic and drilling programs.\n\n\n\n-Nine pits returned lithium values of greater than 120ppm (0.012%), five pits had Potassium values greater than 4000 ppm (0.4%) and 11 pits with Boron values of greater than 400 ppm.\n\n\n\n=Further trenching work will be done in the central and western areas of the tenements to fully define the surface expression of lithium, boron and potassium.\n\n\n\n\n \nIntroduction\n\n\n \nProf Dr Ricardo Alonso accompanied by local geologists and support staff visited the Guayatayoc Salar in December 2016 and conducted a sampling program digging 34 pits in a geometric pattern. The 34 samples were sent to the Australian Government National Measurement Institute (\"NMI\") in Sydney, Australia.\n\n\n \nGuayatayoc is a laguna that has a boron mining licence and is located approximately 3.5 hours from the city of Salta, 43 kilometres from highway 52 turn-off at Salinas Grandes salar.\n\n\n \nThe objective of the pit sampling was to create a geometric pattern of sampling to determine the relative relationships between lithium and boron, and lithium and potassium at the surface where brines had been observed. This is important when combined with the geophysical and drilling data to interpret the geohydrological data close to the surface. Most of the concentrated brine will be at much greater depths.\n\n\n \nLocation of the Sample Pits\n\n\n \n\nCli...
