As quoted in the press release:

The Reserve estimate supports annual production at Sal de Vida of 25,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate and 95,000 tonnes of potash over a 40 year period. The maiden Reserve estimate is based on updated exploration drilling, well field pump tests and groundwater flow model projections.

Galaxy’s Managing Director,  Iggy Tan said:

We are extremely pleased to deliver a robust maiden JORC-compliant Reserve estimate for Sal de Vida. This Reserve base and mine life puts Sal de Vida in line with other significant brine deposits in the world.
