Rodinia Lithium Set to Commence Drilling at Salar de Diabillos

Rodinia Lithium Inc.(TSXV:RM) announced that they are ready to commence drilling first production well at the Salar de Diabillios lithium brine project. The well is to be drilled in the immediate vicinity of DRC – 01, which already intersected 713 mg/L Lithium over 120 metres.

As quoted in the press release:

The production well is designed to evaluate the range of pumping rates, well efficiencies and drawdown/recharge characteristics of the middle and lower aquifers during a long term high volume pump test. The plan is to install a deep well pump, capable of volumes up to 3800 l/min, in a 10-inch diameter cased well 237 meters deep terminated just above the crystalline basement rocks. The proposed pump test will proceed for 10-15 days and will provide engineering data for a feasibility study.

Rodinia Lithium, President and CEO, William Randall, said:

Initiating our first production sized well only 17 months after the discovery hole at Diablillos was announced, in our opinion, demonstrates the company’s strategy to fast track the development of the project.
