Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / January 30, 2018 - Dajin Resources Corp. ("Dajin") (TSX-V: DJI) (OTCQB: DJIFF) (Germany: C2U1) management is pleased to report that Dajin has executed a Service Agreement with Welsh Hagen Associates, Inc. located in Reno, Nevada to carry out the construction of roads and drill pads in preparation for drilling at Dajin's 100% owned, Teels Marsh Lithium brine project. Welsh Hagen (formerly Telesto Nevada, Inc.) has been providing design and construction services to the Nevada exploration and mining community since 2003.
Upon completion of the construction of the roads and pads Dajin will commence a four (4) hole drill program to test for the presence of Lithium-bearing aquifers to depth. Dajin's exploration approach is significantly different than what other companies have undertaken in Nevada. These wells are intended to follow-up on the favorable surface lithium brine results that Dajin previously announced (June 9, 2016). As a result of Dajin holding the water rights in Teels Marsh and being permitted under the Nevada Division of Water Resources (State Engineer), the pump-test volumes proposed for these wells is up to 20 acre-feet per well. The drilling of deep, large-diameter, cased wells with the ability to discharge, will make it possible to not only measure the concentration of Lithium in the subsurface aquifer but to also carry out the flow testing of any Lithium bearing subsurface aquifers that may be encountered during the drilling.
A reclamation bond of US$288,341 has been paid to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under BLM Notice #NVN094695. This bond covers the cost of reclamation following the road, pad and drilling proposed by Dajin under the BLM Notice.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and has been reviewed and approved on behalf of Dajin Resources Corp. by Dajin Directors, Dr. Catherine Hickson, P. Geo and Dr. Mark Coolbaugh, CPG, the Qualified Persons.
