Alpha Lithium Acquires New Property and Expands Second Core Area in Hombre Muerto Salar, Argentina
15 Junho 2021 - 10:00AM
Alpha Lithium Corporation (TSX.V: ALLI) (OTC: ALLIF)
(Frankfurt: 2P62) (“
Alpha” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it is
increasing its existing position in the Hombre Muerto Salar,
Argentina. The Company has agreed to purchase a 100% working
interest in an additional 287 Hectares in this world-class salar.
Hombre Muerto houses one of the most desirable
lithium brines in the world, rivaled only by the Salar de Atacama
in Chile, primarily due to its high lithium concentrations,
exceptional brine flowrates and minimal levels of impurities. It
has attracted billions of dollars of investment from the likes of
Livent Corporation, Galaxy Resources and Korean giant, POSCO,
amongst others.
The Company expects to build on this, and the
first (see news release May 18, 2021), acquisition in this world
renowned salar. Hombre Muerto is the highest quality and longest
producing salar in Argentina and it benefits from an extensive
amount of infrastructure developed to support Livent Corporation’s
25 years of production history.
Through a privately negotiated purchase and sale
Agreement the Company has acquired a 100% interest in 287 Hectares
– free of any 3rd party royalties – in the heart of the Hombre
Muerto Salar. This latest acquisition brings the Company’s total to
4,087 Hectares. The Company’s position in Hombre Muerto, just as it
is in neighboring Tolillar Salar, is 100% owned. The Company has
agreed to pay US$750,000 for the property, which has been privately
owned by the same individual since 1957.
Alpha’s newest asset is adjacent to POSCO’s
property, which was purchased from Galaxy Resources in 2019 for
US$280 million. POSCO has since been aggressively developing their
project and is currently constructing a lithium production facility
near to Alpha’s property.
Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Alpha noted
his local team has a definite edge, “Our team has set a pace in
Argentina that is unmatched. They have hundreds of years of
combined experience in Hombre Muerto, Tolillar and all the major
salars in Argentina and Chile. The progress we have made in the
last year is a result of our team relying on their experience and
strong, established relationships. This is a clear benefit to our
shareholders – and it will continue to be so as we increase our
presence in Hombre Muerto, now our second core area. We are excited
about developing this world class asset, surrounded by numerous
lithium giants.”
Alpha has $34.2 million in cash and equivalents
and is well positioned to aggressively pursue high-quality growth
in Argentina’s Lithium Triangle.
The Company is already making preparations for a
drilling campaign in Hombre Muerto and expects to commence drilling
shortly. Additionally, Alpha is currently drilling the final well
of its Phase 3 drilling campaign on the Tolillar Salar (see news
release April 13, 2021) and looks forward to the completion of that
well, followed by an updated 43-101 Resource Estimate, in the
coming weeks.
