The clay layers encountered in these wells are beneath gravel and alluvial cover and do not form obvious outcrops.  Additionally, the claims cover likely concealed faults shown in geophysical studies conducted by Sierra Geothermal Power Corporation in the 2008- 2010, which the Company believes to be important in the formation of lithium-bearing clays.\n \n \n Momentum for this new program stems from Albemarle's recent announcement on\n \n \n January 7, 2021\n \n \n that it will commence exploration of clay and evaluate technology that could accelerate the viability of lithium production from clay resources in the region.  As reported in the Globe & Mail on\n \n January 11, 2021\n \n about lithium giant Alb...
