[{"type":"text","content":"Enerev5 Metals Inc. Stakes Lithium-Focused Claims in Northeastern Nevada\n(TheNewswire)\n\n\n\n \n\n\nToronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - January 9, 2026 –\nEnerev5 Metals\nInc. (TSX-V: ENEV) (“Enerev5” or the\n“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has staked 81 mineral\nclaims in northeastern Nevada, covering about 1,680 acres or 6.8\nsquare kilometres across two claim blocks.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe newly staked claims are strategically located in\nclose proximity to properties held by Surge Battery Metals Inc. (“Surge”) and Peloton Minerals Corp. (“Peloton”), both\nof which are actively advancing lithium exploration programs in the\nregion. Surge has reported the discovery of a significant\nlithium-in-clay deposit, while Peloton recently completed its maiden\ndrill program, confirming the near-surface presence of clay or\nclay-bearing material to a vertical depth of at least 500 feet across a\nbroad area of its property1.\n\n\n \n\n\nEnerev5 staked the claims based on regional prospecting\nwork and a comprehensive review of publicly available geological data\nand lithium exploration activity within this emerging district. The\nCompany is evaluating an initial exploration program that may include\ngeological mapping, soil\ngeochemistry, prospecting, and surface geophysical surveys, subject to permitting and market conditions.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe acquisition aligns with Enerev5’s strategy to\nidentify and advance ethically\nsourced critical battery metals in stable,\nmining-friendly jurisdictions. Nevada is widely recognized as a\nleading lithium jurisdiction, with a stated objective to become the\nNorth American hub for the entire “Lithium Loop”\nsupply chain — encompassing extraction, processing, battery\nmanufacturing, and recycling2. This policy framework is intended to reduce\nU.S. reliance on foreign critical mineral supply, support clean energy\ninitiatives, and drive long-term economic growth.\n\n\n \n\n\nNorthern Nevada hosts large, district-scale\nsediment-hosted lithium clay\ndeposits, typically characterized by lithium\nenrichment within smectite- and illite-bearing claystone units in\narid, closed-basin environments. These deposits are commonly\nassociated with ancient volcanic systems, including the McDe...
