Scotch Creek Ventures Inc. provided an update on its ongoing Macallan East Lithium drill program. The property is located in the Southeast portion of Clayton Valley, representing a sizeable region with minimal subsurface exploration for lithium or other salar minerals. Recently, nearby Scotch Creek's Macallan East project a limited and relatively shallow drill program by Sienna Resources has shown the presence of lithium rich claystones lying beneath gravel cover deposits.

The completion of the two deep core holes has allowed Scotch Creek to obtain a greater understanding of the lithologic and structural geology of the Southeast Clayton Bench. The Company believes the lower ash zone intersected in the second hole MCD-2 represents a previously unknown target sequence beneath the property. This section likely represents an older section of Clayton Valley's basin development containing deeper section of the prospective Esmeralda Formation.

The strong fault zone intersected near the bottom of MCD-2 may be the southern extension of the Angle Island Fault Zone. The Angle Island structure is an important internal fault within the Clayton Valley, which lies proximal to recently discovered lithium rich claystone deposits within the Clayton Valley to north of the property. Scotch Creek is working to compile the data resulting from the completed holes as part of the necessary process to target additional drilling at the property.
