[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia, Jan. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spey Resources Corp. (CSE: SPEY) (OTC: SPEYF) (FRA: 2JS) (\"Spey” or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it intends to focus on its Incahuasi Salar property where 5 diamond drill holes (DDH) wells were drilled in 2021 and use this drilling data and geophysics to build a resource estimate. The Company had previously proposed to drill at the Company’s Pocitos 2 property of 532 Has in November 2022, but after delays in drill rig availability, the Company decided to focus on its Incahuasi Salar property. Highlights Five (5) DDH Wells were drilled at Candela II in 2021; noting hole 5 was pump tested and hole 4 recorded 173ppm Li; Montgomery & Associates Consultores Limitada produced a National Instrument 43-101 (\"NI 43-101\") technical report, published on August 8, 2022; The wells’ attributes have been assessed by a reserve engineer and the data declared suitable to produce a NI 43-101 inferred and indicated mineral resource; Additional geophysics work will be completed prior to the mineral resource report being completed; and Spey, at this point in time, has decided not to buy out the 20% interest A.I.S. Resources Limited (“A.I.S.”) holds in the project, but is in discussions with A.I.S. regarding a potential joint venture arrangement, involving pro-rata equity contributions, towards further project development. Candela II The key features of Candela II exploration licence are as follows: The brine resource is hosted within two main hydrogeological units: halite (salt) and sand-gravel-halite (higher porosity); Lithium grades increase with depth, so there is potential to find values higher than 200 mg/L on the eastern side of the licence area; and The deeper clastic coarse grain aquifer is the hydrogeological unit with the highest potential in terms of economics. Further Work in 2023 The following work needs to be done before a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate can be completed: A long term pumping test in a new well to measure the hydraulic parameters of the aquifer as well as to check the lithium grade trends; A new depth specific sampling campaign using a bailer or electric wireline sampler in the wells to check Lithium grades in the aquifer lithological units; Specific geophysics surveys, of which an audio magneto telluric (CSAMT) survey is proposed ...
