Nickel Rock Resources Inc. report that prior to implementing a reconnaissance drilling campaign on its 100% owned Clayton Valley Project adjoining a western portion of neighbouring lithium producer Albemarle's evaporation ponds a staking program is now in progress. This new staking program is expanding company's current land position and targeting known sedimentary horizons with potential for lithium bearing clay horizons. Momentum for this new program stems from Albemarle's recent announcement that it will commence exploration of clay and evaluate technology that could accelerate the viability of lithium production from clay resources in the region.
