Vancouver, British Columbia: Alset Energy Corp. (TSXV: ION) (“Alset” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on the La Salada salar in Zacatecas, Mexico. The exploration program includes two deep holes to test for brine horizons, sediment composition and depth to basement; followed by a shallow subsurface sampling program. Material from this work will be sent for geochemical and mineralogical analysis, leach testing, and scoping metallurgical testing to assess grade and recovery characteristics.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Alset Energy said: “Our team has worked hard to get to this stage where we can start drilling and carrying out further sampling on the La Salada salar. La Salada is one of our highest grade salars based on past historical work, but we really need to better understand the distribution of lithium, potassium and boron throughout the salar and to test for brine horizons. I look forward to a good news flow from this program as we will be very busy working at La Salada and sending material in for testing.”

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO, Oct 04, 2016 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Oct 4, 2016) – Alset Energy Corp. (ION) (“Alset” or “the Company”) would like to provide further clarification and detail related to its press release dated October 3, 2016.

In May 2016 (see PR dated May 10, 2016), the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire up to 10 mineral concessions covering 16 known Lithium, Potassium and Boron-rich salars located in the States of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Upon review of the technical data including a property examination by the Company and its advisors, the Company elected to acquire 4 large concessions containing the 7 top priority salars (see PR dated July 13, 2016) which include Caliguey, La Doncella, Colorada, La Salada, Santa Clara, Saldivar and Chapala and several smaller earlier-stage salars. The Company selected these salars due to their attractive lithium, potassium and boron values from limited shallow sampling of the unconsolidated material down to a depth of five metres. Of particular interest is the La Salada salar where preliminary and unaudited analyses of samples from the southern half of the salar returned grades frequently exceeding 1500 mg/l with occasional values over 2000 mg/l lithium, 8% potassium and 60 mg/l boron. The depth and grade beneath 5m is unknown at this time but preliminary geophysical surveys indicate a possible depth of 70 metres.

(“Bacanora” or the “Company“), the Toronto and London listed (TSX VENTURE:BCN) (AIM:BCN) company focused on developing the Sonora Project (“Sonora” or the “Project“) in Mexico into a world class lithium carbonate operation, announces that it has received an unsolicited non-binding indicative proposal (the “Proposal“) from Rare Earth Minerals plc (“REM“), an AIM listed investment vehicle with a 19.8% holding in the Company. The Proposal envisages an all-share merger of Bacanora and REM with REM acting as the acquiring entity (via a reverse takeover) and issuing newly issued REM shares to Bacanora’s shareholders. The merger exchange ratio proposed by REM is between 135 and 141 REM shares for each outstanding Bacanora share (the “Proposed Offer“).
