Galan Lithium Limited

Outstanding Pumping Test Results and Successful Catalina First Drilling

HMW Project Update

Galan Lithium Limited (ASX:GLN) (Galan or the Company) is pleased to provide a project and exploration activities update for its the flagship Hombre Muerto West (HMW) lithium brine project in Catamarca Province, Argentina. The Galan team has been focused on multiple workstreams with encouraging project construction, Phase 2 DFS and exploration results.


Highlights:
  • HMW Phase 1:
    • Fourth long term pumping test (PBRS-03-23) results record an outstanding lithium mean grade of 981 mg/L; the highest reported grade from a production well in the Hombre Muerto Salar
    • Test pit confirms sound ground for ponds construction for HMW Phase 1
    • Existing pilot plant continues to deliver lithium chloride samples (6% Li) in support of off-take negotiations
    • All six initial Phase 1 brine production wells successfully constructed
  • Exploration Drilling - Newly Consolidated Catalina Area:
    • First drilling confirms the continuity of the highly fractured domain at 300 metres deep, remaining open at depth.
    • 72-hour airlift test running at 6 L/s, confirming huge permeability potential; previous tests recorded averages of only 1-3 L/s
  • Other:
    • Third party off-take and other strategic discussions ongoing
    • Completion of Phase 2 DFS still on track for September 2023

Galan’s Managing Director, Juan Pablo (JP) Vargas de la Vega, commented: “On the HMW Phase 1 construction front everything is moving along nicely with the main earthmoving contractor mobilising to site a week or so ago. Sound and solid test pit ground material results have given us great confidence in the ponds construction.

We are also delighted to report that all wells required to support the HMW Phase 1 production have now been constructed and with 4 long-term pumping tests now complete, we have confirmed the impressive HMW grades and flow rates that are consistently being achieved.

HMW’s newly consolidated Catalina area has provided very encouraging exploration results as we look forward to drilling more holes, along with geophysics, to be included in a future resource update. HMW keeps on growing and giving great results.

Congratulations to the Galan site team for this significant milestone which further de-risks the project. Our path to production is now tangible and real. We remain motivated become a new lithium miner and to start cashflow in H1 2025.”

Top 4 Largest Lithium Reserves by Country

Those interested in the lithium sector and investing in lithium stocks are often curious about which countries are the top producers of the battery metal, but they may not stop to consider the top lithium reserves by country.

Major lithium-producing countries are, of course, home to a large number of lithium companies. Many of the world’s top lithium producers also hold significant reserves, and their reserves can give an idea of how much room those countries have to grow. At the same time, nations with high reserves may become more significant lithium players in the future.

Looking forward, lithium demand is expected to continue increasing. That’s because, together with metals such as cobalt, lithium is a key raw material in the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, and it is also essential for the energy storage sector.

Top 9 Lithium-producing Countries

Interest in lithium continues to grow due to its role in the lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles (EVs). As a result, more and more attention is landing on the top lithium-producing countries.

About 80 percent of the lithium produced globally goes toward battery production, but other industries also consume the metal. For example, 7 percent of lithium is used in ceramics and glass, while 4 percent goes to lubricating greases.

According to the US Geological Survey, lithium use in batteries has increased in recent years due to the use of rechargeable batteries in portable electronic devices, as well as in electric tools, EVs and grid storage applications.
