[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2021) - ACME Lithium Inc. (CSE: ACME) (OTC Pink: ACLHF) (the \"Company\", or \"ACME\") is pleased to report that Hasbrouck Geophysics has commenced Phase 1 of a two phase geophysical survey program at ACME's Clayton Valley project in Nevada. Phase 1 entails a gravity survey and Phase 2 is a Hybrid-Source Audio-Magnetotellurics (HSMAT) survey. The results of the gravity survey will be used to prioritize drill locations to test for lithium concentrations within brines. ACME's project is contiguous to Albemarle's Silver Peak lithium resource and production facility. Data collected in the gravity survey will more accurately map variations in basin depth and topography, as well as map inferred geologic structures relative to the occurrence of lithium-bearing brine. This work will also provide key information for the design of additional geophysical surveys to be acquired over ACME's CC, CCP, JR and SX claim package. The survey will include a total of 120 gravity stations acquired over the claim area on a grid of 250 meters. Previously, reconnaissance gravity data had been acquired in Clayton Valley by Sierra Geothermal Power Corporation (under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy) (\"Sierra\") and GeoXplor Corporation (\"GeoXplor\"). Lithium source material and transport mechanisms for the CC, CCP, JR and SX claims are present and could be similar to those that have supplied Clayton Valley lithium-bearing brines and may be conducive to increased lithium-bearing brine concentrations. The 2008 Sierra and 2012 GeoXplor gravity surveys covered mostly the western and northern portions of Clayton Valley, while the 2009 GeoXplor gravity survey covered the entire valley. Data from those previous surveys were acquired on a nominal one-kilometer grid near the CC, CCP, JR and SX claims, while the new gravity data will be acquired on a 250-meter grid. The newly acquired gravity data will be used in conjunction with the existing Sierra Geothermal and GeoXplor Corp. data to enable detailed modeling and interpretation.
