Rockland was recently featured in the acclaimed Rockstone Research report:
All claims are located in Juab County, Utah, and are interpreted to be prospective for lithium mineralization, based on similarities to the Lithium Butte Property, where Company sampling and a historic (2010) database indicate widespread lithium mineralization hosted in clay or claystone volcanic tuff units. Rockland’s primary exploration target is claystone hosted lithium mineralization; however, the Fish Springs Flat Property covers an area interpreted to be prospective for lithium brine mineralization (Mills, S.E. and Rupke, A., 2020, Utah Geological Survey, Circular 129).
Four of the properties adjoin to the north and west of the Spor Mountain beryllium mine owned by Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN), the sole producer of beryllium ore in the United States.
The Lithium Butte property is comprised of 524 lode claims on BLM lands and totals 10,670 acres (4,320 ha). Located 185 km south-west of Salt Lake City, the property is road accessible and has excellent regional infrastructure with power, rail and nearby communities.
Mineralized grab samples from rhyolite tuff-breccia of Tertiary age that is known to contain elevated Lithium contents:
Excellent outcrop exposure will allow for rapid characterization of Lithium mineralization at Lithium Butte.
Rockland has initiated a soil sampling program to evaluate areal extent of claystone lithium mineralization and define additional exploration targets:
Rockland will channel sample the outcropping exposure of clay altered tuff-breccia:
Mineralized exposure has a stratigraphic thickness estimated to be greater than 20 m
Samples will be analyzed for Li and other elements at ActLabs using sodium peroxide fusion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
