Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 3, 2022) - Scotch Creek Ventures Inc. (CSE: SCV) (FSE: 7S2) (OTC Pink: SCVFF) (the "Company") ("Scotch Creek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its initial drill program is now underway on the Macallan East project (the "Property"). The program will consist of select HQ core drill locations to a total depth up to approximately 500 meters per hole and will be executed by Harris Exploration Drilling and Associates Inc. ("Harris").
The holes are designed to test the conductive zones within the highly prospective Esmeralda Formation ash-rich clay and mudstones. The Esmeralda has recently been revealed as a world-class lithium host rock within the developing Central Nevada Lithium District. The Macallan East property is located directly on strike with a belt of strongly lithium mineralized mudstones currently undergoing resource definition by other companies within the Clayton Valley.
Furthermore, Scotch Creek has secured a crucial and geographically desired core shack in Silver Peak to review and analyze the drill core as the current and future drill programs progress.
Scotch Creek CEO, David Ryan, commented: "This is a monumental step for Scotch Creek and its shareholders. We have been conducting extensive geophysical work to gather a stronger understanding of the subterranean floor beneath our property. With this information on hand, we believe to have selected the most promising drill targets on the Macallan East project and look forward to reviewing the exploration results in the near future."
