Results from 2011 exploration on this property
Previous drilling and pumping test results carried out by Eramine at the Property between 2011 and 2012 were considered favorable. Although drilling only reached a maximum depth of 160 meters, the holes encountered enriched brine from land surface to their total depth. Lithium values are fairly constant between the pumping tests and the drilling samples. While the overall lithium grade, at 330-560 milligrams/liter (mg/L), is not the highest encountered in the region, grades at this level only require slightly larger evaporation ponds per unit lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) produced. It is typical to encounter more dense brine and higher lithium concentrations with increasing depth.
