Scotch Creek Ventures Inc. announced the addition of 54 claims adjacent to its 100% owned Macallan East Lithium project ("Macallan"). This expansion increases the Macallan project's total acres to 6,360 acres, making Scotch Creek one of the largest lithium landholders in Clayton Valley. The Macallan East project now lies on trend South-Southeast (SSE) of one of the world's most prolific lithium claystone belts.

The recently completed gravity survey outlined this trend and provided the Company with important data. As a result, Scotch Creek is evaluating new and unexplored lithium drill targets that follow along this rich lithium belt that merit exploration. The 6,360-acre Macallan East claim block sits directly on trend with outcropping, lithium mineralized, volcanic ash-rich, basin lakebed sedimentary rocks towards the project area from the North-Northeast.

The projected presence of these mineralized units in the subsurface at Macallan strongly suggests that porous ash units, associated with these rocks elsewhere in the basin, should exist below the surface on the claims.
