Investor Insight
Galan Lithium’s investment appeal is driven by its Hombre Muerto West project, a top 20 global lithium resource featuring high-grade, low-cost lithium brine concentrate, on track for near-term production in Argentina’s renowned mining region.
Overview
Argentina is no stranger to lithium mining. The South American nation is one of three encompassed in the prolific Lithium Triangle, a region that holds more than 60 percent of the world’s lithium resources. Argentina has the world’s second greatest endowment of lithium reserves (17 Mt), concentrating lithium operations in the provinces of Jujuy, Salta and Catamarca.
Demand for lithium is forecasted to grow from approximately 1 Mt LCE in 2024 to around 3Mt in 2030, a compound annual growth rate of around 20 percent. Argentina has committed to $7 billion worth of investment for lithium production with strong growth projected for exports at $1.1 billion in 2023.
Galan Lithium (ASX:GLN,FSX:9CH) is an Australia-based international mining development company focused on its high-quality lithium brine projects in Argentina – Hombre Muerto West and Candelas. The company also holds a highly prospective lithium project in Australia – Greenbushes South.

Hombre Muerto West
As announced on 17 May 2021, the Company commenced early foundation works for its feasibility study at its flagship Hombre Muerto West (HMW) Project located in the South American lithium triangle in Catamarca, Argentina.
Resource to Reserves
The Company has recently appointed WSP Consulting Chile (WSP) and SRK Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd (SRK) in respect of transforming the huge HMW resource into reserves, the main foundation for its feasibility study.
WSP will provide support and design work, including production wells, for different aspects related to the hydrogeology of the HMW tenements located in the Hombre Muerto Salar Basin. WSP's team includes two former SQM employees who have a long history working with lithium brines.
SRK, in association with WSP, will review the current resource estimate and then undertake reserve conversion work for the HMW project.
Drilling at HMW fill follow up soon after the design and location of the wells is confirmed. Galan is in advanced discussion with drilling companies to execute the programme.
On 12 July 2021, Galan announced exciting proof of concept test work results for the precipitation of battery grade lithium carbonate product at its HMW Project.

Galan to Initiate Candelas Scoping Study
Galan Lithium Limited (ASX: GLN) (Galan or the Company) is very pleased to announce the imminent commencement of a scoping study for the Company's Candelas project (see Figure 1). Candelas is Galan's second key project and is also located on Hombre Muerto West salt flat (on the southeast) in the well-known South American Lithium Triangle in Catamarca, Argentina.
Highlights:
• Candelas' brine concentrate modelling shows results up to 6%Li. Similar to Hombre Muerto West (HWM) concentrate with low impurities
• Galan to commence a Scoping Study building from the learnings at HMW's PEA Study (released 21 Dec 2020) with an in-house team and Ad-Infinitum
• Results expected during Q4 2021
• All other activities at HMW for its Feasibility Study to continue as planned
The scoping study for the Candelas Project will be performed by Galan's in-house engineering team whilst Ad-Infinitum in Chile will oversee the chemical processing and other relevant study sections. The study is expected to be finalised during Q4 2021.
Galan's Managing Director Juan Pablo (JP) Vargas de la Vega said "We are very pleased with Candelas' modelling results for its lithium chloride concentrate. Results are showing that it can reach up to 6%Li with a low impurity setting which can provide commercial flexibility to production. To date, we have accumulated a significant amount of data from our detailed studies and testing at HMW which gives us the confidence to take Candelas into the scoping study phase. This next step is a natural step to complement our lithium inventory from the same salt flat with an aim to adding further value by investigating an increase in production levels for Galan."
