Alpha Lithium Increases Core Position in Argentina’s Hombre Muerto Salar to Over 5,000 Hectares
24 Agosto 2021 - 10:00AM
Alpha Lithium Corporation (TSX.V: ALLI) (OTC: APHLF)
(Frankfurt: 2P62) (“
Alpha” or the
“
Company”) is very pleased to announce the option
to acquire a 100% interest (the “Agreement”) of a strategic,
high-value property in Argentina’s world class Salar del Hombre
Muerto. The property is comprised of 985 hectares, which brings the
Company’s total landholdings in Hombre Muerto to 5,072 hectares
(see previous acquisition press releases dated June 15, 2021, and
May 18, 2021).
With this latest acquisition, Alpha has become
one of the largest lithium developers in Salta Province’s Hombre
Muerto salar, second only to Korean giant, POSCO, who is expected
to have a commercial plant producing in Hombre Muerto in 2023.
The Company intends to commence drilling later
this year after all necessary permits are obtained.
As a result of in-country presence, knowledge
and relationships, Alpha’s Argentine team has firmly established
the Company as a major property holder in Hombre Muerto, sharing
the same salar with multi-billion-dollar companies such as POSCO,
Galaxy Resources/Orocobre and Livent Corporation.
Hombre Muerto is Argentina’s best, and one of
the world’s most coveted, lithium brine salars, primarily due
to:
- Significantly high average in-situ lithium concentrations,
- Naturally low levels of undesirable impurities,
- High permeability and flow rates from producing wells – Livent
has over 20 years of production history from a small number of
wells shallower than 100 meters,
- Extensive infrastructure resulting from being Argentina’s only
major producing salar for more than two decades, including
international roadways, rail lines, airstrips, natural gas
pipelines, electricity distribution and access to shipping
facilities.
The unique chemistry of the Hombre Muerto salar
is ideal for the production of high quality, battery grade
lithium.
Brad Nichol, President and CEO commented,
“Following on the heels of our previous announcement, whereby we
produced Lithium Hydroxide and Lithium Carbonate from the nearby
Tolillar Salar, we have firmly established ourselves as a major
player in Hombre Muerto. This is the result of Alpha being a
fast-moving player in the lithium industry and we do not expect to
stop here. We hope to extend our landholdings in the Hombre Muerto
region in the future, and, more importantly, we look forward to
extracting brine from new wells in the salar over the next few
months.”
In exchange for the exploration rights covering
the entire property, Alpha is to make option payments to the vendor
according to the following schedule:
(i) |
US$250,000 upon signing the Agreement, |
(ii) |
US$250,000 paid 90 days from the signature date, |
(iii) |
US$300,000 paid 180 days from the signature date, |
(iv) |
US$300,000 paid 270 days from the signature date, |
(v) |
US$200,000 paid upon satisfactory completion of Alpha’s
exploration program. |
In connection with the Agreement, Alpha has
agreed to pay a finder’s fee in the amount of 10% of the total
Agreement consideration to an arm’s length third party.
