By Joel ScanlonJun 7 2011

Lithium Corporation has begun drilling on its Salt Wells Lithium property in West Central Nevada. The drilling has been subcontracted to the drilling arm of Pediment Gold LLC. The company has already announced its plans to test the area of a large Lithium Brine anomaly by drilling moderate depth drill holes to help located the most economically viable Lithium mineral deposits on the property.

The deeper brine samples being collected from Fish Lake Valley are also being explored by the company. The area is currently reachable only on foot and company personnel are considering options of getting more samples from the location.

The Nevada based company is into exploration of new lithium resources in the state of Nevada. It explores and develops economically viable lithium enriched brine fields.

The Salt Wells property was acquired through staking a 12,320 acre parcel that covers the Eightmile Basin, a playa, which lies approximately 15 miles to the southeast of Fallon, the county seat of Churchill County, Nevada. At Fish Lake Valley the company holds claims cover approximately 6400 acres.
