VANCOUVER,
April 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Pure Energy
Minerals Limited (TSX VENTURE: PE) (the "Company" or
"Pure Energy") is pleased provide the following update on
recent events in Esmeralda County.
Nevada. The Company's operator, GeoXplor Corp., has received
a drilling permit and is initiating preparations to drill the first
exploration well at the Alkali Flats lithium prospect. The
Company's intent is to utilize this drill program as a first step
towards a resource classification of the brine. Geophysical survey
work has identified a closed basin and confirmed conductors that
are thought to be representative of lithium bearing brine present
in the basin.
Through recent staking, Pure Energy now holds the rights to
acquire approximately 7000 acres in the Montezuma Valley adjacent
to Clayton Valley. Clayton Valley is
home to the Silver Peak Lithium mine owned by Rockwood Lithium, the
only lithium brine producer in the United
States.
