Vancouver, BC, Dec. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recharge Resources Ltd. (“Recharge” or the “Company”) (RR: CSE) (RECHF: OTC) (SL50: Frankfurt) is pleased to announce that Prospectair Geosurveys has finalized processing the high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey data collected from the company’s 100% owned Georgia Lake North and West Lithium Properties in Ontario, Canada (the “Property”).
The Property is immediately contiguous to Rock Tech Lithium Inc’s (RCK–V) (“Rock Tech”) Georgia Lake Lithium Property and located approximately 160 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Thunder Bay Mining Division.
Recharge will be reviewing the data over the next month to implement a spring field program consisting of geological mapping and prospecting over target areas once conditions are favourable.
CEO, David Greenway, stated, "We are making progress on all fronts across our portfolio of projects. We are thrilled with the efficiency of Prospectair Geosurveys’ turn around time of the geophysical data and look forward to interpreting the results to direct an aggressive spring 2023 field program at our 100% owned Georgia Lake Lithium Project.”
“The point of this airborne survey was to identify the potential for structural continuity from neighbouring Rock Tech’s active development at its Georgia Lake Project. Rock Tech signed a major lithium supply agreement with Mercedes-Benz AG and Recharge is committed to advancing and monetizing its portfolio of assets to the benefit of all stakeholders,” Greenway continued.
On October 20th, 2022, Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE) signed a supply agreement with Canadian-German Rock Tech to receive on average 10,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium hydroxide per year. The deal, which comes shortly after the two groups said they would explore a strategic partnership, has a value over five years of 1.5 billion euros (US$1.47 billion) and will provide enough lithium hydroxide for 150,000 cars a year, the companies said.
Lithium is selling in the spot market at 554,500 Yuan per tonne or the equivalent of US$79,446 per tonne according to TradingEconomics.com. (December 19th, 2022)
The 548 line-km airborne survey included covering neighbouring known lithium-bearing pegmatite structures, mobilization and demobilization, room and board, supply and delivery of fuel, data gathering and processing. All final results will be presented to section 4.4 with a final report signed by QP and NI 43-101 compliant.
