A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSXV:AIS, OTC:AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce that its Guayatayoc option agreement has been extended to June 15, 2019 at no additional cost to AIS. The extension was granted as a result of the UGAMP meeting being deferred until such time as the President of the Rincondillas Community signs the Assembly document which was a Department of Mining pre-requisite for the meeting.
Our team in Jujuy will continue dialogue with the Rincondillas Community to respond to their queries and resolve concerns preparatory to signing the Assembly document and scheduling the UGAMP meeting.
We have provided the Jujuy Department of Mining with the results of our base line environmental study that monitored air, water and soil in the locations they indicated. The results of the surface water testing were very encouraging with commercial grades of lithium concentrated. The table below sets out the values of the samples taken from Guayatayoc Mina.
Note 1. These lithium values are above the benchmark values of being commercially viable.
Note 2. The potassium lithium ratio rule of thumb is 1:15 i.e. 10,000ppm of K indicates rates of approximately 660ppm Li.
