Project Description
A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) has confirmed Rincon salar’s potential to produce high-purity, battery-grade lithium carbonate over a 14-year mine life.
The PEA proposes the production of 7 061 t of high-purity lithium carbonate, based on the existing Join Ore Reserves Committee-compliant mineral resource of 292 564 t of lithium carbonate equivalent.
The project has shown strong expansion potential for future mineral resource
upgrades.
