“The success of this drill program being right next door to the recently re-opened North America Lithium mine is very meaningful. Additionally, our current work program in Nevada, where we have identified some of the highest grade lithium in clays found in the state, plus the ongoing work in Mexico at Agua Fria beside Bacanora Minerals, marks an exciting time for Alix shareholders.” Stated Mike England, President of Alix Resources.

Core samples are currently at SGS Lakefield laboratory and being processed. Results are expected in less than four weeks.
