Scotch Creek Ventures Inc. announced that it has received its drill permit from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on its Macallan East lithium project in Clayton Valley, Nevada. Clayton Valley has been a prolific source of lithium brine in North America and is the home of the only producing lithium operation in North America (Albemarle Corp). Scotch Creek's Macallan East project borders multiple known lithium resources including Pure Energy Minerals' 218,000 metric-tonnes lithium resource.

Scotch Creek has identified three high-priority lithium drill targets within its Macallan East project and aims to initiate a drill program totaling over 19,000 feet of drilling.
