ACME Lithium is poised to take on this rapid growth in a changing world with multiple projects in North America.
In Nevada, we own and are under option to acquire a combined 100% interest in 122 claims totaling 2,440 acres in Clayton Valley and own 100% interest in 144 lode mining claims totaling 2,921 acres in Fish Lake Valley. Both projects are located in a region that has hosted continuous lithium mineral production since 1966 and we’re backed by a management team with extensive experience in building and financing resource companies around the world.
Further north in Manitoba, Canada, we own 100% interest in 21 claims totaling 8,883 acres in the Shatford Lake pegmatite field and 6 claims totaling 2,930 acres in the Cat-Euclid Lake shear zone in the Bird River Greenstone Belt. The region is host to hundreds of individual pegmatite bodies, many of which are classified as complex rare-element Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum pegmatites—known to account for a quarter of the world’s lithium production.
