CARACHI PAMPA PALEO SALAR Company has completed a VES survey across two of the claim blocks Surface sampling in fresh water zone returned anomalous Li values up to 50ppm and high carbonate values 11
CARACHI PAMPA PALEO SALAR Preliminary interpretation indicates four distinct zones Surface zones 1 and 2 are dry sediments followed by sediments with fresh water / not conductive Middle zone is fresh water and brine / semi-conductive Fourth zone which is the target zone is highly conductive and indicative of a brine zone with potential lithium mineralization 12
CARACHI PAMPA PALEO SALAR Nivaldo Rojas and Associates completed a NI 43-101 Technical Report which has been submitted to the TSX. Further VES work planned for adjoining areas Company has applied for drill permits to test the highly conductive zone for lithium 13
