SCOTCH CREEK VENTURES COMMENCES ADDITIONAL GRAVITY GRID SURVEY AT ITS HIGHLANDS WEST LITHIUM PROJECT

Scotch Creek Ventures Inc. has initiated expanded gravity grid survey operations at its Highlands West lithium exploration project located in Clayton Valley, Nevada. The company announced on May 31st, 2023, that it is extending the scope of existing gravity survey work to advance its understanding of the lithium potential at this strategic location.

The Highlands West project is positioned within Clayton Valley, Nevada, one of North America's most significant lithium-producing regions. Clayton Valley hosts North America's only producing lithium brine operation and has attracted substantial exploration investment as companies seek to develop domestic lithium supply chains to support the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets.

Gravity surveys are a common geophysical exploration technique used in lithium brine projects to map subsurface geological structures and identify potential brine-bearing formations. By extending the existing gravity grid, Scotch Creek is working to better define the geological framework of the Highlands West property and identify priority targets for future exploration activities.

This exploration advancement comes at a time of heightened interest in North American lithium development, as governments and industry focus on securing domestic supplies of critical battery minerals. The continuation of systematic exploration work at Highlands West demonstrates Scotch Creek's commitment to advancing this asset through methodical geological investigation in one of the continent's premier lithium districts.
