Scotch Creek Ventures Inc. announced that it has completed the compilation of geologic and assay data from its second drill hole on its Macallan lithium property ("Macallan"), located in the southeast portion of the Clayton Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada. The core hole was drilled to 1115 feet and ended after passing through a well-developed fault at 1107. A borehole was then completed as a water sampling well.

Significant Drill Results Include: The intersection of two, thick sections of ash-rich siltstones, claystones and massive volcanic ash units, all locally finely bedded indicting of lake sedimentary origin, the target Esmeralda Formation. Lithium mineralization to a high of 461 parts per million (ppm) Li was returned from cut core samples taken from the lower lacustrine sequence intersected in the hole. The lacustrine units are strongly altered resulting in bleaching and well-developed iron oxide banding.

Warm, brackish groundwater with a strong organic odor was noted during well development and sampled directly in place in the hole at depths ranging from 800 to 970 feet downhole. The warm, brackish, organic rich waters produced from the hole indicate a brine water environment.
