Lithium portfolio continues to grow in Canada by consolidating land interests in Ontario to a total ~79kms2 and securing new prospects in Quebec covering ~22km2. Balkan Mining is poised for growth during 2023 with exploration programs planned across the entire portfolio. Key strategic and operational milestones were achieved during the period, outlined below.

Balkan Mining and Minerals Ltd (ASX: BMM; “Balkan Mining” or “the Company”) provides the Company’s quarterly activities report for three months ending 31 December 2022 (“Quarter”). Following the diversification strategy via the strategic earn-in agreement on the Gorge Lithium exploration project located in the Georgia Lake Area, Thunder Bay North Mining District of Ontario, Canada (the “Gorge Lithium Project” or “Gorge Project”), Balkan Mining continued to solidify its interest in prospective projects across both Ontario, with Tango and Arrel and also Quebec, with Corvette North and Corvette Northwest. Field work carried out during the Quarter included mapping and sampling at Gorge and Tango, airborne geophysics at Tango and channel sampling at Gorge which returned Li2O values reaching 1.8m @3.75% (see announcement 16 December 2022), following on from the sampling grades returned at 5.75% and 6.80% Li2O during the September Quarter (see announcement 28 September 2022).

Glencore Deal Validates Galan Lithium’s Chloride Concentrate Strategy, Exec Says

Following its recent financing agreement with mining giant Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTC Pink:GLCNF), Galan Lithium (ASX:GLN,FWB:9CH) is now fully funded to complete construction of its Hombre Muerto West (HMW) project in Argentina and become the next lithium producer in the Lithium Triangle, according to Managing Director Juan Pablo Vargas de la Vega.

“To date, Galan (has) directly invested more than $20 million (in HMW), and the investment or financing solution from Glencore will allow us to pretty much complete the project,” de la Vega said.

“More importantly, this cements Galan’s strategy to produce lithium chloride concentrate. Everyone else in the Lithium Triangle is producing or going to be producing lithium carbonate. So the fact that Glencore has partnered with us to buy the chloride concentrate … shows that the lithium chloride concentrate strategy is a valid one.”
