Kamloops, British Columbia– is pleased to announce that it has commenced a drilling program at its recently acquired Saldivar lithium salar in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
The goal of bulk sampling, expected to start within the next couple months, is to run material through the pilot plant to test the economics of using small sized fraction mineral separation, magnetic separation and leaching to efficiently and cost effectively recover lithium.
Additionally, one hole will go deeper to test the depth to bedrock which at the moment is wide open and has never been tested.
This will help us to plan our bulk sampling program to get a handle on the economics of using small sized fraction mineral separation as the lithium is found in the small size fractions and non-magnetic material which makes up around 20% of the material in the salars.
