A.I.S. Resources Completes Geophysics at Salinitas, Salta, Argentina

Vancouver, British Columbia – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce completion of the previously announced Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey at the Salinitas lithium brine project (the “Project”) located in the Salinas Grande Salar in northwest Argentina. The TDEM geophysical survey was conducted across 52 stations at 500 meter spacings totaling approximately 26 kilometers. Data compilation is underway and interpretation is expected to begin shortly. Based on interpretation of the TDEM data, the Company is now preparing to carry out trenching as well as an auger drilling program to test for shallow, near surface brines that contain anomalous concentrations of lithium and other elements correlated with geophysics in preparation for definition of drill targets.  The work is being supervised by Phillip Thomas Director of Exploration.

About the Salinitas Lithium Brine Project
The Salinitas tenements are located in the lithium triangle at the Salar de Salinas Grandes, in the Province of Salta. The 4,308 hectare land package resides in the Puna region of northwest Argentina near the border of Chile, an area renowned for its lithium- and potassium-rich brine resources. AIS has partnered with MGX Minerals (CSE: XMG) on the Project who is currently earning an undivided 80% interest by incurring total exploration expenditures of at least US$1.2 million by May 31, 2020 and by making payments totaling US$3.2 million which are primarily due at that time.

A.I.S. Resources Announces a Successful UGAMP Meeting

Vancouver, British Columbia – July 13, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to advise shareholders that the UGAMP meeting of the Provincial Mining Environmental Management Unit was convened on July 5, 2018 to review the Company’s exploration plans for the Guayatayoc project. The meeting went very well with no objections to AIS’s exploration activities being raised. A 30-day consultation period is now in effect, during which time further information may be re-quested by the three communities affected. One of the communities Quebraleña, has already signed an assembly document regarding AIS’s planned exploration work program. Marc Morin CEO stated. “The Secretary for the Department of Mines along with his officers were very supportive of our project. He asked AIS to follow up with his department in the next 10 days to get an update on the status of the issue of the drilling permit.” AIS has a drilling company on standby in anticipation of receipt of its drilling permit. The Com-pany intends to complete its seismic analysis, drill six holes to a depth of 350 meters each to test targets at its Guayatayoc concessions. Initially roads will be constructed, then drill pads and four 10,000 litre water tanks.

About Guayatayoc Property
AIS has an option over 5,225 ha in the Guayatayoc Salar which hosts favourable geology for lith-ium and was previously mined for boron, which is closely associated with lithium deposition. The salar is adjacent to the Salinas Grades salar and is situated 46km from the main sealed highway. The Company’s January 2017 sampling program sampled two trenches where values of 920 ppm and 270 ppm of Li with Mg to Li Ratios of 1:1 (Refer to February 1, 2017 News Re-lease) were discovered. Thirty five pits were also sampled with encouraging results (refer to February 22, 2017 News Release). Magnesium to lithium ratios were less than 4 to 1, which is excellent for low cost processing. The Company has produced 22 kilograms of samples to date. The AIS team met with Dr. R L Steinmetz PhD and representatives from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) who was able to provide valuable seismic, stratigra-phy and other geological evidence to support the Company’s exploration program. Dr. Steinmetz published her PhD thesis on the Guayatayoc basin in 2013 (Refer to the Company’s 43-101 report for details). AIS may purchase 100% of the Guayatayoc Property by paying $4.5million USD by October 11, 2018.

A.I.S. Resources Provides Chiron Drilling Results and Guayatayoc Update

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 12, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) announces it has completed two -90 degrees dip HQ diameter, diamond drill holes for a total of 757 metres, and 21 trenches with depths of 4-4.5 metres in its Pocitos concessions at its Chiron project in the eastern area of the Pocitos Salar. Economic cut-off values were set at 250ppm and 8:1 for Mg:Li values. All DDH hole and pit samples failed this test. The exploration team decided not to continue with the drilling program and exploration work. The Company decided not to exercise the property option which was extended by the vendor until receipt of assay results.   Our QP, Phillip Thomas supervised the drill program, sampling and analysis.

Lithium was present in the DDH brine samples taken using a double packer system and were analysed by Alex Stewart Laboratories in Jujuy, Argentina. Two core samples have been sent to GeoSystems Analysis Inc in Tucson, Arizona for specific brine yield measurements, porosity and permeability.

AIS-Resources-Chiron-Drilling-Results-01

Fig 1 – location of trench pits and drill holes in Pocitos One concession.

Our interpretation of the geophysics was accurate with a major aquifer being encountered at 16m within a black sand unit, indicated by a significant drop in resistivity and at depth where a brown clay unit had transitioned into a coarse sandy unit with halite. High resistivity was correlated to solid halite units with almost no porosity. Significant brine flows at very high pressures were encountered at depth in both diamond drill holes with estimated flow rates of 50,000-70,000 litres per minute. In the case of DDH PO2, the brine flowed under its own pressure for approximately 5.25- 5.5 hours.

Interpretation
Both drill holes intersected substantial localized aquifers, however sampling downhole using a double packer tool at 50 metre intervals showed that the lithium values were uneconomic and also the magnesium values were extremely high.  Economic cut-off values were set at 250ppm and 8:1 for Mg:Li values.

The geohydrological work on the surface showed that the lithium values in some of the pits with low Na values increased substantially in Lithium and Sodium values over a 7 day period suggesting that surface water drained through the shallow brown sandy clay and black sand unit that had higher porosity due to the sand content, and more lithium rich brines flowed in that had been trapped in the higher density lower clay units.  The brine density differential wasn’t measured but the low Na and Li values suggest these surface brines were lower density.

Pit 16 and 19
Was sampled within 12 hours of being dug and then again in 7 days.

The black sand unit that occurred about three metres below the surface predominately in the central salar area showed substantial porosity and transmissitivity.  In DDH 1, 10 metres of black sand core was lost from the drill rod  below the 16 metre interval confirming substantial brine presence, but it was low in lithium concentration.  The Pocitos Salar was subjected to substantial rainfalls during December to March 2018 and this impacted surface brine concentration.  The highest lithium pit value was 179ppm in Pit 10 on the eastern most edge of Pocitos 2.    No evaporation studies were undertaken but anecdotal evidence suggests that 3-5cm of water had evaporated over the 30 day drill period.

The geological model adapted from the geophysics survey suggests that brine concentrates to the eastern edge but is stratified by less porous halite and clay units.  A cemented aggregate sand sequence was intersected above the brine aquifer at 320-325m in DDH1.  Other explorers have confirmed this model in that brines sampled in the west had little or no lithium. We took the view that considering the lithology, deeper drilling had a low probability of intersecting higher lithium grades.

Quality Control and Assurance
Alex Stewart International Argentina SA completed the sample analysis using an ICP diagnostic machine.  Three samples were submitted  in a group of six, and every 10 in 20 for quality control.  The variance was 2.5% or less in the lithium analysis, which reflected the variance in brine sampling.  ICP machine variance accuracy was 0.05%.

Pit and DDH Packer Sampling Quality Control
Each bottle was rinsed in brine. A sampling tool was used to ensure that minimum disturbance was created and the clay sediments were not disturbed. A sample was taken and the cap put on the 1 litre bottles with no air present.  The temperature was taken and recorded that was  approximately 6.5˚C.  The bootle was labelled PO1 or PO2 and then sealed with tape.  The QP checked the labelling and recorded it and the site geologist took all the samples to Alex Stewart Laboratories.  They sent a confirmation of the date, time and labels of the samples that were received and that they were still sealed.

Guayatayoc Update
The company has received the date for its UGAMP (La Unidad de Gestión Ambiental Minera Provincial) meeting slated for July 2nd, 2018.  The proposed meeting is for the ratification of our proposed drilling and exploration program at Guayatayoc. The process involves community consultation with government and representatives of AIS.

Once the meeting is complete,  a 30 day period for consultation is required, during which time AIS may be requested to provide further information of its planned work program.  If no objections are made, the permit will be issued.

A.I.S. Resources Adds Second Drilling Rig at Chiron

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 27, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce it has engaged a second drilling contractor, AGV Falcon S.R.L. of Salta, Argentina to complete up to four diamond drill holes for a total of 1,300 meters across four tenements at its Chiron project in the Pocitos Salar.

AGV Falcon has mobilized a drill rig onto the site and is expected to begin drilling on Saturday 29 April 2018. AIS is looking to expedite exploration at Chiron to gather all the necessary data prior to purchasing the project.

Phil Thomas, Chief Operating Officer and exploration director of A.I.S., stated: “It will be exciting to see the brine results in the core and how well it correlates with the geophysics we have completed. We will drill one hole in Pocitos 2 down to 400m to examine the lithium concentration in the brine at depth. Our modelling suggests there is a significant aquifer at depth but this will give us proof. I will be overseeing the data collection and ensure that QA/QC is monitored and our local geologist will be supervising the packer testing.”

A.I.S. Resources Prepares for Drilling

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 20, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce it has engaged Hidrotec SRL of Salta, Argentina to complete up to eight diamond drill holes for a total of 2,300 meters across all four tenements at its Chiron project in the Pocitos Salar.

Hidrotec has mobilized a drill rig onto the site, as well as some of the necessary equipment to begin the construction of the drill pads and drilling to start on April 24, 2018.

  • AIS plans to drill eight holes, to various depths between 300 and 400 meters.
  • Chiron appears to be the preferred area in the salar for brine saturated sequences, based on geophysics data interpretation.
  • This upcoming drill campaign will enable the Company to outline an initial maiden resource at Chiron after a pump test has been completed.

Phil Thomas, Chief Operating Officer and exploration director of A.I.S., stated: “We are very excited at the prospect of drilling these sequences as the geophysics showed very low resistivities from 20 metres to more than 200 metres below the surface. Adjacent concession holders are also preparing to drill and this will provide the basis for a sound geological model.

We are also looking forward to using a new geophysics technique using magnetic resonance of hydrogen to determine porosity and permeability to calculate the reservoir and specific brine yield values. This technique is tried and tested in oil but this is the first time it will be used commercially in brines with high salt content. This will save us nearly 4 months of brine yield testing using traditional methods.”

Historical Work
The Pocitos salar basin was previously drill tested, with 12 shallow holes in 1979, by the Direccion General de Fabricaciones Militares (DGFM). The most significant result from this historical work program includes a shallow drill hole, which averaged 417 parts per million (ppm) lithium and 15,300 ppm potassium. The above historical results cannot be verified by the company, and are not NI-43-101 compliant.

A.I.S. Resources Provides Corporate Update

Vancouver, British Columbia – March 22, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce final interpretation of geophysics at Chiron. The company’s fundamentals have not changed, but improved, and it remains on target with its timelines to become a lithium carbonate producer in the first quarter of 2020.

Chiron Project Update

Final Interpretation of Geophysics
The TEM (transient electromagnetic survey) testing has detected substantial aquifers over a broad area at its Chiron Project in the Pocitos Salar, Salta Province, Argentina. Low resistivity sequences at 10 meters, 20 meters and 100 meters are interpreted as rich sandy acquifers. See below.

East West Profile Through Chiron 1-2

The surface acquifer can easily be seen but it is quite narrow in comparison to the acquifer at 3605m MASL (meters above sea level) which is 80 metres in depth. These extremely low values suggest the brines are highly conductive and not consolidated at this depth. We would expect middle size grains of sand and some clay components (that improve conductivity).

Chiron 7 North South Profile

The brines at the southern end of the concession have built up close to the tectonic/fault structure adjacent to the concessions. The geological model of the alluvial fans filling the basin with sands and lithium bearing minerals from the local ignimbrites and andesites is consistent with a porous sandy medium.

Chiron 9 East West Profile

Drilling at Chiron
The Puna region has experienced unusually high levels of rains due to “La Ninã” weather patterns over the last several weeks. The company is ready to mobilize a drilling crew as soon as the Salar dries and drill pads are in. All the necessary permitting is in place and drill hole locations have been finalized. The company has sufficient funds to carry out the drilling program. A total of 3200 meters is planned across all tenements.

Guayatayoc Permit Update
The company has completed all the necessary requirements under current mining legislation for the approval of its drilling permit and we are waiting for the Government of Jujuy to set the date for our UGAMP meeting. The meeting is comprised of several government agencies, communities and the company to discuss the project and final approval of a drilling permit.

A.I.S. Resources Detects Potential Lithium-Rich Aquifers at Chiron Project, Prepares for Drilling

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 29, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce that seismic testing has detected three distinct aquifers over a broad area at its Chiron Project in the Pocitos Salar, Salta Province, Argentina.

Preliminary highlights from the TEM (Transient Electromagnetic Survey) program are as follows:

  • Low resistivity sequences interpreted as aquifers have been detected in what correlates to sand-rich units at depths of 10 meters, 20 meters and 100 meters at each of AIS’s four Chiron concessions.
  • Extremely low resistivity (0.4-1.0 ohm-m) at each of 19 data points covering the 27 sq. km project suggests the potential for lithium brines and at scale;
  • Chiron appears to be the preferred area in the salar for brine saturated sequences, based on seismic data, and will be drill tested shortly (in February) with an 8-hole, 3,200-meter drill program.

Further geophysics modelling data will be available in 7-10 days, immediately ahead of the commencement of drilling.

Phil Thomas, Chief Operating Officer and exploration director of A.I.S., stated: “This initial seismic data from Chiron based on the TEM geophysics strongly supports our case for acquiring these strategic concessions. Together with our Guayatayoc Project to the northwest in Jujuy province, where we’ve made excellent progress with our pilot plant production chemistry, A.I.S. is on track for a breakthrough year as an emerging new producer in the lithium brine space in Argentina.”

Guayatayoc Update
Crews will be mobilized to Guayatayoc to commence a 14-hole, 4,000-meter program upon receipt of final drilling permits and completion of drilling at Chiron.

The program at Guayatayoc will test grade, porosity and permeability and include a 30-day pumping test of the aquifers. This will be followed by geohydrology, reservoir modelling and an initial resource report. Based on results the Company may proceed to a Mineral Resource Report followed then by a definitive Feasibility Study, to be delivered in 2018.

When permits are granted the company intends to follow the mineral reserve estimations with civil works at Guayatayoc subject to pond permitting by the government in Jujuy. The management team will be in Argentina in February to progress the permitting process and exploration of Chiron.

A.I.S. Resources Drilling and Seismic Exploration Application and Plan Approved at Chiron Project Prepares Seismic Survey

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 5, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) announces it has been granted an exploration licence for seismic and drilling at its Chiron project. This allows the company to quickly progress to a TEM seismic program and then drilling immediately following.

AIS has entered into a contract with Quantec Geoscience Argentina S.A. to conduct a 19 point TEM (VES) seismic survey in early January 2018. The survey will utilize one Geonics EM37 transmitter, a Geonics Protem 37 receiver and a 3D coil.

The main objective of the requested TEM surveys is to define the subsurface horizon’s that are highly conductive that will likely define the presence of aquifers on the properties down to a depth of approximately 400 metres for drill targets.

The work will be completed by February 2018. Preliminary tenders have been received from a number of drilling companies for an eight hole program of 3,200 metres.
