Lithium X Energy (TSXV:LIX) has reported the filing of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report done by FloSolutions dated August 30, 2016 called Resource Estimate for Lithium & Potassium, Sal de los Angeles project, Salta.
As quoted in the press release:
The NI 43-101 resource estimate, prepared by FloSolutions and summarized in Table 1 below, includes an Indicated component of 194,860 tonnes of lithium at an average grade of 501 milligrams per litre (“mg/l”) (1,037,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent) (“LCE”) and 2,143,491 tonnes of potassium at an average grade of 5,512 mg/l (4,088,000 tonnes of potash (“KCl”) equivalent). The resource estimate also established an inferred resource of 189,130 tonnes of lithium at 410 mg/l (1,007,000 tonnes of LCE) and 2,068,161 tonnes of potassium at 4,489 mg/l (3,948,000 tonnes KCl equivalent).
The resource estimate establishes Sal de los Angeles as a large and high grade undeveloped lithium brine project, with a Feasibility Study underway.
Brian Paes-Braga, Founder and CEO of Lithium X, commented, “This resource estimate confirms the significance of the Sal de los Angeles deposit and will form the basis of a Feasibility Study. Our experienced operating team, led by Eduardo Morales, continues with ongoing processing and engineering work. These are major steps towards bringing Sal de los Angeles into commercial production.”
