The five drill holes at Incahuasi will cover a depth of approximately 600m. When completed, the rig will move to the Pocitos 1 and 2 concession on the Pocitos Salar approximately 120km away and drill three holes on the targeted aquifer locations. A double packer device will sample the brines at depth and be assayed. Preparations are currently being made for the camp, fuel and roads.

Nader Vatanchi CEO of Spey Resources commented, “We are making great progress at Incahuasi Salar, with geophysics completed, the road in good condition and easy access. Amaru, our drillers are very familiar with the salar and are completing their preparations. Our bulk brine surface samples from Incahuasi Salar have been sent to the University of Melbourne to be processed. The state of the art Ekosolve™ process handles very high levels of magnesium so we are looking forward to the results of the processing using their laboratory scale plant and samples of lithium carbonate. At Pocitos Salar, we have the results of surface sampling and geophysics completed on Pocitos 2 and drilling completed close by on Pocitos 1 by AIS Resources. The project drill team have nearly completed all their preparations. I’m delighted with the progress our team has made and look forward to the brine analysis results from drilling and University of Melbourne.”

Martyn Element Chairman of AIS stated, “We are pleased with the rapid progress Spey Resources is making in progressing the Incahuasi and Pocitos projects.”

AIS has granted Spey the option to acquire 80% of the Incahuasi project by making certain cash and share payments including making $500,000 in exploration expenditures by April 21, 2022. Spey may acquire the remaining 20% by making a payment of $6 million (subject to increase by $250,000 for each fifty tonnes by which the indicated or inferred resource exceeds 45 million tonnes lithium metal equivalent) by March 18, 2023.
