Lithium Corp discovers rare earth elements at BC fluorspar property

ELKO, Nevada - Lithium Corporation (OTCQB:LTUM), a micro-cap exploration company currently valued at $5.06 million, announced Thursday it has discovered several areas of enriched neodymium, dysprosium and other rare earth element mineralization at its fluorspar exploration property in southern British Columbia. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong cash position relative to debt, positioning it well for continued exploration activities.

The mineral exploration company has realigned claim blocks to optimize coverage of these features and is conducting fieldwork to determine the bedrock source of the mineralization, which has so far only been identified in sediments.

Lithium Corp. currently holds approximately 5,732 acres (2,319 hectares) of claims in the area and is considering expanding its holdings to encompass nearby geologically similar locations.

The discovery comes as governments increase focus on domestic critical mineral development. In July, the U.S. Department of Defense took an equity stake in MP Materials to accelerate development of a U.S. rare earth magnet supply chain.

Neodymium and dysprosium are key elements used in the production of high-efficiency electric motors.

The company’s exploration portfolio includes properties with lithium, graphite, titanium, rare earth elements, antimony, and fluorspar prospects across Nevada and British Columbia.

The announcement was made in a company press release.

In other recent news, Lithium Corporation announced the execution of a binding agreement with Morella Corporation Limited to restructure their joint venture arrangements over lithium prospects in Nevada. Under this new agreement, Morella will take full ownership of the Fish Lake Valley South and North Big Smoky project areas. Meanwhile, Lithium Corporation will retain complete ownership of the Fish Lake Valley North claims, which have previously produced lithium-boron enriched brine. These developments mark significant changes in the ownership structure of these lithium prospects. The restructuring aims to streamline operations and focus on specific project areas for each company. This recent development reflects a strategic move by both companies to optimize their resources and project management. The agreement highlights the ongoing interest and investment in lithium resources, which are crucial for various industries.
