The project tenure of 9,260ha is located within an existing Ni43-101 inferred resource of 2.19mt LCE @ 374 mg/Li. A key component of the Rio Grande Sur Project is the Lithium Carbonate Pilot Plant currently being commissioned at a speciality facility in Salta. The purpose of the plant is to produce Lithium Carbonate at a small commercial scale in the near term.
