Core Viewpoint - American Critical Minerals Corp. has provided an update on the seismic interpretation for its Green River Potash and Lithium Project, indicating promising geological conditions for potash and lithium extraction [2][3]. Company Update - Agapito Associates LLC has reviewed the seismic reflection and reprocessing report for the Northern Portion of the Green River Project, with full results to be included in an upcoming Technical Report [2]. - The company has licensed four 2D seismic lines totaling approximately 32.5 miles from Seismic Exchange, which were reprocessed to enhance interpretation [5][11]. Geological Insights - The seismic data indicates relatively flat lying Paradox and Leadville stratigraphy, suggesting suitability for solution mining wells within the Potash Cycles [3][10]. - A time structure map constructed from the seismic data shows a gentle regional dip of about 4% to the north, supporting the potential for solution mining [6][10]. - The data also reveals a northward thickening of the Paradox Formation, which may enhance the quality and volume of lithium and bromine-rich brines [4][10]. Strategic Location - The Green River Project is strategically located near over 50 years of potash production and advanced lithium development, highlighting its potential for successful mining operations [5][12]. - The project benefits from logistical advantages, including proximity to major rail hubs, roads, and labor markets, which are crucial for operational efficiency [12]. Resource Potential - The Paradox Basin is estimated to contain up to 56 billion tonnes of lithium brines, potentially the largest such resource in the U.S. [13][14]. - The company has a 43-101 Exploration Target of 0.6-1.0 billion tonnes of sylvanite with potassium oxide grades ranging from 12% to 18% [14]. - Recent exploration targets for lithium and bromine indicate significant brine volumes with lithium grades from 71.6 to 216.3 parts per million and bromine grades from 3,656 to 4,741 parts per million [14]. Market Context - The U.S. currently imports approximately 96.5% of its annual potash requirements, indicating a strong domestic market opportunity [17]. - The global potash market is valued at over $50 billion annually, with a compound annual growth rate of nearly 5%, while annual lithium demand exceeds 1 million tonnes and continues to grow rapidly [17].
