In an interview with Epstein Research Dajin Resources Corp. (TSXV:DJI,OTCMKTS:DJIFF) Director, Dr. Catherine Hickson, discussed the companies lithium interest in Jujuy Province, Argentina.
As quoted in the interview:

What is the Status of Dajin’s mineral concessions? 
It’s an exciting time for Dajin in Argentina. Literally within weeks of Marci’s victory, we were able to convene an essential meeting (a Ugamp), on our San Jose and Navidad concessions located on the Salinas Grandes salar in Jujuy Province. This meeting, which brought together ourselves, government representatives and delegates from local communities, was one we had patiently waited years for. The main goal was to review and ratify proposed exploration plans put forth by the Company. This meeting was an important step towards Dajin being awarded an exploration license.  
Has the management and Board mapped out near-term objectives in Argentina?
Myself and my Jujuy based team of Dr. Beatrice Coira and Ing. Gabriel Blasco are formalizing a surface sampling and drilling program. Work will begin (probably in May/June), subject to obtaining our permit and contingent upon weather conditions. We met with newly appointed provincial Secretary of Mines, Dr. Miguel Solar, and found him to be very interested & motivated in increasing mining investment in Jujuy Province.

From a volcanologist, (exploration & geothermal) geologist’s point of view, what features of Dajin’s concessions in the Salinas Grandes make the property look promising? 

Salinas Grandes, is exactly what the name implies. It’s a huge closed basin full of salt. The surface is white from precipitated NaCl deposits that are actually used for table salt and other applications. There are many thick layers of volcanic rocks in the area and all the water draining into Salinas Grandes stays there and evaporates (the definition of a closed basin or playa in Spanish). This includes Lithium-rich water from Volcan Tugzle along the southern margins of the salar. The playa has existed for several 100,000 years, so there has been plenty of time to concentrate Lithium in the brines.

What are the most important takeaways for readers to consider?

  • Argentina is open for business again,
  • In Argentina, Dajin has scale (100,000 hectares), close proximity to brine producer Orocrobre and a meaningful head start,
  • Like in any foreign countries, new entrants can’t simply stake ground and be off to the races,
  • Boots on the ground, time & resources invested, and an understanding of the people, local government / Provinces, and applicable government agencies are vitally important to progressing in a prudent, efficient manner.
