Jason Gigliotti, President of Sienna Resources states, “This is a tremendous opportunity for Sienna to acquire a drill ready lithium project in the heart of the top lithium address in North America, the Clayton Valley of Nevada. Lithium prices have traded to multi-year highs this week, and with every major car company planning to massively expand their Electric Vehicle fleets, the demand for lithium is showing very strong growth drivers for the foreseeable future. Sienna’s management has been a believer in battery metals, specifically lithium for many years, and now we have multiple highly prospective projects in Clayton Valley. We are very optimistic about this new project and eagerly look forward to getting boots on the ground with drills turning shortly.”
