Lithium Chile Inc. (TSXV:LITH) (OTC:QB) ('Lithium Chile' or the 'Company') is pleased to provide an operational update on its Salar de Arizaro Project in Argentina, highlighting significant progress on the Company's northeastern claims including sampling results from hole ARDHH-08.
HIGHLIGHTS: One diamond drill hole was completed at the Arizaro Project: The hole encountered brine rich formations in areas not previously drilled.
Results from drilling provide for potential significant resource upside.
A new diamond drill hole, ARDDH-9 is currently underway.
ARGENTINA OPERATIONS - ARIZARO PROJECT: ARDDH-08 has been drilled to a depth of 606-metres with a brine-rich, sandy formation encountered at 200-metres. The bailer samples sent to Alex Stewart Laboratory, Jujuy, Argentina reported the following grades: 50-metres encountered grades of 180mg/lLi
200-metres encountered grades of 690mg/lLi
Results from hole ARDHH-08 represent important exploration progress for the northeastern portion of the TOLAR 6 property, where the Company does not have any mineral resource estimates contributing to the previously reported 3,342,000 tonne lithium carbonate equivalent resource associated with the project. Due to the variability in lithium grades encountered, additional depth-specific sampling of the brines have been recommended by the Qualified Person overseeing the project.
Steve Cochrane, President & CEO, remarked, 'The results from this new hole signify an important step in our strategic roadmap, propelling us closer towards maximizing the full potential of our claims. We are confident in the Arizaro project's potential to become a premier lithium carbonate producer, and we're energized by the promise of continued progress.'
Lithium Chile's President for South America, Jose de Castro, says: 'We are immensely proud of our exceptional team in Argentina, whose unique experience in previous lithium projects has been instrumental in creating value for all stakeholders including the communities we work with. As we continue to progress towards a revised resource report and feasibility study to support production economics, we remain steadfast in our mission to add value and realize the full potential of the Arizaro project.'
