 “We are extremely encouraged with the lithium results received to date. Our property is directly beside Pure’s discovery and right beside the CV-6 hole recently completed by Pure.   We are pleased now that Lithium-X has also acquired a large land package directly to our west to now completely enclose our property in between them and Pure.  Management is encouraged by these initial results and is actively searching for additional property in the vicinity to increase shareholder value.” stated Michael England, CEO of Ashburton Ventures. 

Aurora Geosciences Ltd. conducted the sampling on the Property and submitted 11 samples from the Elon property to ALS Minerals in Reno NV for analysis.  The samples were crushed, split, a portion was pulverized and a one (1) gram aliquot analyzed by ALS Chemex method ME-MS61 (48 element, including lithium, four acid ICP-MS).
