We are excited to continue building our relationship with RESPEC as our trusted partner for exploration work in the United States. RESPEC is an expert in the region and will add tremendous value in the thoughtful execution of the planning, permitting, and advancement of our drilling strategy at the Horizon Lithium Project.

Jason Latkowcer adds, “Their team of multi-disciplinary staff have the right tools and experience to evaluate publicly available datasets, geologic data, reports, and previous work and investigations performed pertaining to lithium exploration within and adjacent to the Project, including American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) and American Lithium.”
We believe Pan American is in the right place, at the right time, to advance domestic-U.S. lithium resources with the ultimate goal of improving the security of supply for the U.S. battery manufacturing supply chain.

“It is fantastic to continue developing our relationship with the team at Pan American on the Horizon Lithium Project. Our Grand Junction and Reno teams have the experience and local connections in the area to ensure that the project moves forward in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Pan American has the right to purchase a 100% interest in the Horizon Lithium Project through a property option agreement with FMS Lithium Corporation (FMS) and Horizon Lithium LLC (Horizon Lithium). The Project comprises 839 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 17,334 acres of land in Nevada’s Big Smoky and Monte Cristo Basins in Esmeralda County.
The Tonopah Flats project by American Battery Technologies Corp., which is next to the property, was recently awarded $57 million by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to design, construct, commission, and run a first-of-its-kind commercial-scale facility to demonstrate its novel method for creating battery cathode grade lithium hydroxide from unusual Nevada-based sedimentary resources that contain lithium.
