Alix Resources Samples Up To 3,762 ppm Lithium at White Basin, Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - ALIX RESOURCES CORP. (“Alix” or the “Company”) (AIX-TSX:V) (37N–FRANKFURT) is pleased to report it has begun exploration at its 100%-held White Basin lithium property in Nevada. The White Basin property includes 25 unpatented mineral claims comprising 500 acres and is located roughly 75 kilometers northeast of Las Vegas. Sampling on the property has returned values as high as 3,762ppm Li from six composite samples of the Horse Spring Formation. The Horse Spring Formation is Oligocene-Miocene in age and includes clay-rich, altered volcanic units with historic reports of elevated lithium (Brenner-Tourtelot and Glanzman, 1978, Energy 3, 255-262). Sampling by the Company has confirmed elevated lithium with results provided in the table below.
