Argentina Lithium Continues to Build on Property Positions at the Rincon and Antofalla Salars

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 6, 2022 /CNW/ – Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. (TSXV: LIT) (FSE: OAY3) (OTC: PNXLF), (“Argentina Lithium” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce two new option agreements at lithium salars in Argentina. The Company has entered into an option agreement with a local vendor to earn a 100% interest in four contiguous mine concessions totalling 791.3 hectares at the Salar de Rincon (the “Paso de Sico option”). The Company has also entered into a second option agreement with a second local vendor to earn a 100% interest in a single mine concession measuring 843.5 hectares at the Salar de Antofalla (the “Volcan option”).

Nikolaos Cacos, President and CEO, stated “The Rincon and Antofalla salars have been our focus for property acquisitions, for their potential for high-grade lithium resources and their favorable locations. Each of these new properties border landmark projects operated by major producers, where large resources have already been defined. Our new properties represent significant increases to the resource potential for our Rincon West and Antofalla North projects. The exploration team will now incorporate the new areas into our ongoing and near-term exploration programs.” 

Argentina Lithium’s Rincon West project, located in Salta province, includes both 100% held and optioned properties (see News Release dated July 21, 2022). The project now totals 3742.8 hectares with the Paso de Sico acquisition.

Argentina Lithium’s Antofalla North project, located within Salta and Catamarca provinces, includes both 100% held and optioned properties (see News Release dated April 11, 2022). With the Volcan acquisition, the Company controls 15,830.5 hectares at Antofalla for exploration and development.
