Cypress closing in on billion-ton resource in Nevada's Clayton Valley

As interest in battery metals continues (it was a major theme at this week's Vancouver Resource Investment Conference), investors are on the hunt for lithium plays that will "hit it out of the park" Ie. find a high-grade discovery hole or identify a significant resource of lithium carbonate, to support the trend towards increased electrification of vehicles that require more and more lithium and other battery metals like cobalt and graphite. As I have suggested before, the most promising of the early-stage lithium explorers is Cypress Development Corp (TSX.V:CYP), whose project in Nevada's Clayton Valley is close to the only producing lithium mine in the United States, yet with a very interesting geological footprint that is unlike any other property in the valley. And with excellent results from a 2017 drill program recently released and plenty of blue sky upside, this is perhaps THE lithium junior to watch in 2018.
