Lithium-enriched Tertiary-era Fish Lake formation Rhyolitic tuffs or ash flow tuffs have accumulated in this valley or basinal environment, and over time interstitial formational waters in contact with these tuffs, have become enriched in lithium, and could possibly be amenable to extraction by evaporative methods, much as Chemetall Foote currently produces Lithium on their Clayton Valley Property which is only some 19 miles to the SE of Fish Lake.
Drill hole K04-09 was similar to drill hole K04-06 as it contained silicified rhyolitic tuffs with variable concentrations of fine grained pyrite with the strongest concentrations in the upper part of the drill hole.
Host rocks include limestones, rhyolitic tuffs, lutites and sandstones.
