Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. announced that it has obtained the necessary permits to drill test its 100%-controlled Incahuasi Lithium Project in Catamarca Province, Argentina. Drilling is expected to commence in early February, 2018. The Incahuasi salar is situated within the ‘Lithium Triangle’ of Argentina and Chile, and has characteristics prospective for lithium-rich brines. Initial sampling of near-surface brines returned up to 409mg/L lithium, and geophysical surveying indicates the potential for lithium-rich brines at depth. The company plans to initially complete 4 diamond drill holes to depths of approximately 400 meters. The holes are designed to test two highly conductive domains identified by the Vertical Electrical geophysical survey (VES), and interpreted as brine bodies, over along 12 kilometers parallel to the long axis of the salar.
