Marketwired
United Bullion Exchange, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: UBEX) ("United Bullion
Exchange" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has recently
executed a definitive agreement thereby acquiring an option and
exploration rights of the Clayton Valley Area Project, Esmeralda
County, NV. This totals approximately 50 separate contiguous claims
spread out over 8,000 acres in this prime lithium-mining region.
United Bullion's Clayton Valley Area Project represents
approximately 50 claims in close proximity to the Clayton Valley
playa, where lithium-rich brines and evaporates have been
accumulating for more than 30,000 years, resulting in the highest
lithium content found in any brines tested by the US Geological
Survey (USGS) in southwestern US playas and basins.
The property is in close proximity to the only Lithium brine
producer in the United States. This plant extracts Lithium from
brines pumped from aquifers below the valley and has been in
production since 1967. The plant is designed to produce 1.2 million
kg of Lithium per year and to date has produced an estimated 50
million kg of Lithium. United Bullion Exchange's claims are within
8 miles of Clayton Valley, the source of the Lithium. The project
area has excellent infrastructure including a network of roads,
railroads and cellular telephone coverage.
The Clayton Valley Area Project itself is surrounded by the
Montezuma Range and mountain ranges containing Tertiary rhyolites
(the volcanic equivalent of granite) considered to be the most
lithium-rich rhyolites in the world. The movement and evaporation
of the region's water replenishes lithium-rich clays, lithium
inclusions in halite (naturally occurring salt), and economic
grades of brine-based lithium considered to be in the 100 to 300
ppm range with the USGS indicating some concentrations in the
Clayton Valley area reaching as high as 1,000 ppm.
Rick Brutti, CEO of United Bullion Exchange, stated, "We are
delighted to have signed a deal for a property in such a well-known
location. It is our goal to become one of America's leading mineral
exploration companies through acquisitions like the Clayton Valley
Area Project. We feel that the electric car revolution will drive
the domestic demand for lithium to levels unseen before."

About Lithium Lithium is a lightweight
metal used in a wide range of consumer products the world over: the
medical industry uses lithium as an anti-depressant; industrial
uses include glass, ceramic and porcelain enamel manufacture; the
aviation industry uses lithium in alloys. Of particular interest is
the use of lithium for battery production, which has expanded
significantly in recent years due to rechargeable lithium batteries
being used increasingly in electrical tools and in the rapidly
expanding portable electronics market. Furthermore, the next
generation of hybrid and electric vehicles are being designed to
use high-capacity lithium-ion batteries as environmentally-friendly
fuel alternatives while the Obama administration has introduced $5
billion in funding and incentives for the development of a secure,
domestic battery industry with special focus on lithium-ion
batteries.
