Ashburton Ventures Inc. announced it has completed an initial examination of the Elon Lithium Property in Clayton Valley, Nevada. A geological crew conducted surface sediment sampling, collecting a series of samples from ten 3 m deep holes distributed across the property. The crew noted that a drill rig is completing a hole approximately 800 m east of the southeast corner of the property on adjoining ground held by Pure Energy Ltd. Samples will be sent to ALS Minerals in Reno, Nevada, results will be announced once received.

Assay results from the recently completed drill program on the Buckingham graphite project in Quebec are expected to arrive in the near term and will be released once interpreted.
