Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. (TSXV: LIT) continued to obtain positive lithium brine results at its Rincon West Project in Salta Province, Argentina.
The results include a 178m section with results ranging from 241 to 340mg/l lithium (no sample was collected from 30m of this interval) from the seventh diamond drill hole of the current programme.
“These new results demonstrate the continuity of concentrated lithium brines within our exploration area and expands the area known to host lithium brines to the northwest,” V.P. of Exploration, Miles Rideout, said.
“We have been pleased by the extensive vertical column of concentrated brines intersected to date in the core of our basin.
“The drill programme has confirmed the original geophysical interpretation for conductive brine aquifers very well, providing confidence in the potential for future drilling on the extensive untested portions of the geophysical anomaly to continue to potentially extend our zone of lithium-rich brines.”
Rincon West Project and Programme Details
The Rincon West Project, located west and north of Rio Tinto’s adjacent Rincon Project, covers 3742.8 hectares of the Salar Basin.
Drilling was carried out by Salta-based AGV Falcon Drilling SRL, under the supervision of Argentina Lithium’s geologists. Drill holes RW-DDH-007 and RW-DDH-008 were executed with diamond drilling (HQ-diameter), permitting the extraction of core samples of the Salar Basin formations and recovery of brine samples where possible.
