VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clear Sky Lithium Corp. (CSE: POWR) (FRA: K4A / WKN: A3DM2W) (OTC: CSKYF) ("Clear Sky" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration and development company focused on American lithium deposits to support domestic demand, is pleased to announce that it has completed the initial option payment and share issuance for the recently acquired Halo Project, located along the lithium trend in southern Nevada within the Tonopah mining district.
Company CEO, Patrick Morris, notes, "Our team is very excited by the Halo Project, and I thank everyone involved for executing this agreement and the initial payment as quickly as they did. We feel that this project holds a lot of potential and we have already started the planning for a site visit and work programs. This acquisition lets us get in on the proverbial ground floor, in a region where lithium has already been proven to be located, and we intend to build upon that base."
The Halo agreement includes an initial payment of US$250,000, a share issuance of 1,865,269 common shares, and reimbursement of up to $US100,000 for expenses incurred on the project. To date, $US76,000 in expenses have been reimbursed for geological work, staking expenses, and Bureau of Land Management fees.
The Halo project consists of 98 claims totalling 819 hectares (2,024 acres) and is located 6km northwest of Tonopah within Big Smoky Valley on the boundary of Nye and Esmeralda Counties. The project is south of American Lithium's (LI; MKT Cap US$538M) TLC project and north of American Battery Technology (ABML; MKT Cap - US$502M) Tonopah Flats project. The nearby regional centre of Tonopah offers ready access to skilled labour, electricity, and transport logistics.

Regional optimism is driven by American Lithium's TLC project which currently hosts 3.35Mt lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) measured resources, 2.02Mt LCE indicated resources, and 1.76Mt LCE inferred resources, and has recently intersected their best results to date: 2,900 ppm Li with an average of 1,550 ppm over 50.3m. Additional positive news comes from American Battery Technologies Chief Resource Officer recently noting that, "The results from the first 16 drill holes indicate limited overburden with a significant near surface, 500-ft or better, thick lithium enriched area of mineralization,"
The project site is partially overlain by a flat alluvial outwash plane. The lithium-bearing rocks within the project area are referred to as tuffaceous and other young tertiary sedimentary rocks in digital geologic models generated by the Nevada Bureau of Mines. This Pliocene to Miocene-age unit is believed to have a strong volcanic component. In Esmeralda County this Miocene-aged unit is referred to as Siebert Tuff. It corresponds to units Ts3 and Tts from the 1978 State map and is present in all counties of Nevada.

Clear Sky is committed to becoming a premier American developer of lithium for the US supply chain. Along with its central Nevada-based Eli property, the Company is working diligently to increase it asset base of prospective lithium bearing properties that suit emerging processing technologies aimed at advancing towards development-stage and ultimately commercial-stage activities in the region.
