Apex Resources Inc. (TSXV:APX) stock jumped more than 13 per cent early Thursday on sample results from the Lithium Creek Project.
Fluid samples were gathered from Lithium Creek, a historic well, and shallow hand-dug auger holes excavated 1-2 metres below the ground surface using hand tools throughout the project area. The analysis of these fluid samples revealed lithium concentrations ranging from 393 milligrams per liter (mg/L) to 4.65 mg/L, with over half (55 per cent) of the samples exceeding 50 mg/L. Lithium was detected in all samples and a total of 25 samples were sent to a laboratory in Nevada.
About the Lithium Creek Project
The Lithium Creek Project, located in Churchill County, Nevada, encompasses 10 non-contiguous blocks of placer claims covering approximately 19.10 square km, along with adjacent lands within the extensive Fernley and Carson Sinks. These sinks feature large, expansive playas and are situated within large hydrographic basins with a combined area of about 5,665 square km.
