Stella Marys in an advanced lithium brine project, comprising 1,472 hectares, located in the western sector of the Salinas Grandes salar within Argentina’s Lithium Triangle of developing and producing projects, including the country’s two lithium producers. The property is adjacent to Orocobre’s Salar de Salinas Grandes lithium-potassium-boron brine project, which hosts a near-surface, low-sulphate inferred resource estimate of 56.5 million cubic metres of brine grading 795 milligrams per litre lithium (239,200 tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE)), 9,547 milligrams per litre potassium (1.03 million tonnes of potash equivalent) and 283 milligrams per litre boron.
