Alpha Lithium Acquires New Property and Expands Second Core Area in Hombre Muerto Salar, Argentina

 

Alpha Lithium Corporation (TSX.V: ALLI) (OTC: ALLIF) (Frankfurt: 2P62) (" Alpha " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it is increasing its existing position in the Hombre Muerto Salar, Argentina. The Company has agreed to purchase a 100% working interest in an additional 287 Hectares in this world-class salar.

 

Hombre Muerto houses one of the most desirable lithium brines in the world, rivaled only by the Salar de Atacama in Chile, primarily due to its high lithium concentrations, exceptional brine flowrates and minimal levels of impurities. It has attracted billions of dollars of investment from the likes of Livent Corporation, Galaxy Resources and Korean giant, POSCO, amongst others.

 

The Company expects to build on this, and the first ( see news release May 18, 2021 ), acquisition in this world renowned salar. Hombre Muerto is the highest quality and longest producing salar in Argentina and it benefits from an extensive amount of infrastructure developed to support Livent Corporation's 25 years of production history.

 

Through a privately negotiated purchase and sale Agreement the Company has acquired a 100% interest in 287 Hectares – free of any 3 rd party royalties – in the heart of the Hombre Muerto Salar. This latest acquisition brings the Company's total to 4,087 Hectares. The Company's position in Hombre Muerto, just as it is in neighboring Tolillar Salar, is 100% owned. The Company has agreed to pay US$750,000 for the property, which has been privately owned by the same individual since 1957.

 

Alpha's newest asset is adjacent to POSCO's property, which was purchased from Galaxy Resources in 2019 for US$280 million. POSCO has since been aggressively developing their project and is currently constructing a lithium production facility near to Alpha's property.

 

Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Alpha noted his local team has a definite edge, "Our team has set a pace in Argentina that is unmatched. They have hundreds of years of combined experience in Hombre Muerto, Tolillar and all the major salars in Argentina and Chile. The progress we have made in the last year is a result of our team relying on their experience and strong, established relationships. This is a clear benefit to our shareholders – and it will continue to be so as we increase our presence in Hombre Muerto, now our second core area. We are excited about developing this world class asset, surrounded by numerous lithium giants."

 

Alpha has $34.2 million in cash and equivalents and is well positioned to aggressively pursue high-quality growth in Argentina's Lithium Triangle.

 

The Company is already making preparations for a drilling campaign in Hombre Muerto and expects to commence drilling shortly. Additionally, Alpha is currently drilling the final well of its Phase 3 drilling campaign on the Tolillar Salar ( see news release April 13, 2021 ) and looks forward to the completion of that well, followed by an updated 43-101 Resource Estimate, in the coming weeks.

Expert: African Lithium Key to China's Battery Supply Chain Dominance

With the global shift to electric vehicles (EVs) accelerating, China is cementing its dominance over the lithium supply chain by pouring investment into African mines, creating a new center of gravity for the battery metal.

Speaking at the Lithium Supply Battery Raw Materials conference, Claudia Cook senior analyst at Fastmarkets offered a sweeping assessment of how China is reshaping global lithium flows and why Africa will be crucial in the next decade.

Cook laid out in detail how China’s lithium strategy is evolving. As the world’s largest EV market, China needs a consistent, low-cost supply of lithium — but its domestic production is increasingly insufficient.
