(CSE: NVLH) ( OTCQB: NVLHF) (FSE: 87K) (\"Nevada Lithium\") are pleased to announce that the Bureau of Land Management (\"BLM\") has accepted the Company's Plan of Operations (\"PoO\") for the Bonnie Claire Lithium Project (the 'Project' or 'Property'), located in Nye County, Nevada. This environmental study was conducted by EM Strategies of Reno, Nevada, working closely with the BLM. This extensive survey took 17 months to complete and gain approval. The PoO was approved by the BLM Field Manager on November 21, 2022.Iconic Minerals Ltd CEO, Richard Kern, comments: \"We are thrilled that this extensive environmental study found no significant issues and indicates our exploration program will have minimal impact on the area.\"The newly permitted exploration area covers 4,146 acres (16.78 square kilometers), 3,271 acres (13.24 square kilometers) of which are salt playa. This area includes permitting for 100 acres (0.405 square kilometers) of disturbance, 27.6 acres (0.11 square kilometers) of which is for drill sites. This is expected to cover future drilling of up to 109 holes during Phase I activities; the number of holes to be drilled under subsequent phases is currently unknown and will be determined by the Phase I results.The lack of endangered plants or animals, significant cultural sites, paleontological resources, raptors, migratory birds, desert tortoise, and wild horses show a major benefit of the project's location on a salt flat. Having the baseline environmental studies in place will aid in advancing further permitting of the project. The PoO will be further expanded in 2023.
