AM Resources Acquires Promising Lithium Exploration Licenses in Austria
03 Mai 2023 - 1:30PM
AM Resources Corporation (“
AM
Resources” or the “
Corporation”) (TSXV:
AMR) (Frankfurt: 76A) is pleased to announce the acquisition of
lithium exploration licenses in Austria, a country with a rich
history of successful mining operations. The licenses cover an area
of 60 square kilometres, consisting of three properties: Legend,
East Wolf and Sankt Rad. The acquisition is in line with the
Corporation's strategy to expand its current operations and
increase exposure to high-growth markets.
“Austria is an important jurisdiction for us,
and this acquisition represents a significant milestone in our
strategic plan to develop a leading European lithium supply chain,”
said David Grondin, CEO of AM Resources. “Notably, the East Wolf
property is situated in a highly strategic location, just 5 km from
the Wolfsberg lithium project, an old lithium mine that is
currently undergoing efforts to resume production with an indicated
resource of 6.3 million tonnes at 1.17% LiO2. Geological data
indicates that the East Wolf property comprises massive amphibolite
and micaschiste with pegmatite intrusions, which are favorable
indicators of the presence of valuable lithium minerals. The
Corporation is confident that this acquisition has the potential to
significantly enhance its asset portfolio, and is eager to
collaborate with local partners to expedite the exploration and
development of these promising projects.”
The Sankt Rad property also shows promising
exploration potential. Historical grab sampling work done in 1983
by an Austrian geological survey team at proximity to the property
has revealed significant high-grade lithium results, as shown in
the following table (source: Friedrich Koller, Michael A.
Götzinger, Richard Neumayer, Gerhard Niedermayr, August 1983).

historical. An AM Resource qualified person has not performed
sufficient work to validate these results as defined by NI 43-101.
Although the historical results may not be reliable, the
Corporation nevertheless believes that they provide an indication
of the property’s potential and are relevant for any future
exploration program.
Austria has a proven track record for mining and
is home to historical lithium extraction operations. The country's
favorable regulatory framework, skilled workforce, and advanced
infrastructure make it an attractive jurisdiction for mining
companies seeking to expand their operations. In addition, Austria
is also a major hub for electric vehicle manufacturing, with
companies such as Mercedes, BMW and Fisker all having production
facilities in the country.
“We are confident that our exploration efforts
will unlock the full potential of these assets, and create
significant value for our shareholders,” added M. Grondin. “We look
forward to updating the market on our progress as we continue to
develop these exciting new projects.”
