Red Mountain Mining (RMX) has submitted applications to expand its Mustang lithium project in Nevada, USA by 853 hectares.

The mining company lodged 102 lode claims that surround the existing project with the Nevada Bureau of Land Management, which RMX expects to be granted shortly.

Once the claims are granted, it will increase the size of Mustang to 1069.7 hectares.
