DENVER, April 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pure Energy Minerals Limited (TSX VENTURE:PE) (OTCQB:PEMIF) (the “Company” or “Pure Energy”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a revised technical report on SEDAR entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment (Rev. 1) of the Clayton Valley Lithium Project, Esmeralda County, Nevada”. The revisions to the technical report as originally filed on August 10, 2017 resulted from a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission that the Company had requested.

The Company has not modified the mineral resource estimate or the economic analysis contained in the Clayton Valley Technical Report.

In addition to an enhanced discussion of risks associated with the Company’s intended lithium processing technologies for the project, the Company has also expanded the discussion of the basis for its conclusions that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction of the resources at the Clayton Valley Project. The revisions also include certain organizational and contextual changes. There were changes to the qualified persons who authored certain sections of the Clayton Valley Technical Report, and some of their certificates have been revised in association with the re-filing of the technical report.

Pure Energy has also filed an amended and restated Annual Information Form (“AIF”) for the year ended June 30, 2017 primarily to conform the disclosures in the AIF with those in the revised technical report.
