Lithium could be a hot commodity again this year. After all, “Lithium is one of the most important elements for our transition to a lower-carbon future. Lithium batteries are replacing the fuel in combustion engines in a variety of applications. As the penetration of electric vehicles rapidly grows, demand for lithium has grown exponentially,” reports Forbes. In addition, with demand still outweighing supply, lithium prices could push aggressively higher. In fact, according to S&P Global, “The global lithium market has seen prices moving to new record highs almost daily, boosted by limited supply and good demand. This strength is expected to continue into 2022.” That’s big news for lithium companies such as Scotch Creek Ventures (CSE:SCV)(OTC:SCVFF), Ameriwest Lithium Inc. (CSE:AWLI)(OTC:AWLIF), American Lithium Corp. (OTC:LIACF)(TSXV:LI), Standard Lithium Ltd. (NYSE:SLI)(TSXV:SLI), and Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB).

Scotch Creek Ventures received its drill permit from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on its Macallan East lithium project in Clayton Valley, Nevada.
Clayton Valley has been a prolific source of lithium brine in North America and is the home of the only producing lithium operation in North America (Albemarle Corp). Scotch Creek’s Macallan East project borders multiple known lithium resources including Pure Energy Minerals’ 218,000 metric-tonnes lithium resource. Scotch Creek has identified three high-priority lithium drill targets within its Macallan East project and aims to initiate a drill program totaling over 19,000 feet of drilling (See press release October 27, 2021).
Matt Vitale, Scotch Creek’s Technical Expert, commented “Clayton Valley’s basin has collected, retained, and concentrated lithium into both mineral brines and claystone. The Macallan East Lithium Project is located along a key portion of the eastern margin of the basin. This eastern margin seems to be preferential for lithium concentrations in the Clayton Valley, based on adjacent projects. We are excited to begin our drill campaign in hopes of discovering America’s next considerable lithium resource.”
