During 2019, DDH (diamond drill hole) 19-01 reached a total depth of 647 meters. Eighteen groundwater samples were taken at depths of 235 meters, 301 meters, 463 meters, 506 meters and 633 meters and one sample was analysed from each depth.
During 2019, DDH-19-02 reached a total depth of 595 meters two groundwater samples were obtained at a depth of 431 meters; one of these was submitted for laboratory analysis. During 2021, DDH 21-01 reached a total depth of 191 meters but was abandoned as it became unstable. Three groundwater samples were taken at a depth of 183.2 meters and one sample was analysed.
During 2021, DDH-21-04 was drilled to a total depth of 518 meters with four groundwater samples taken at depths of 331 meters and 460 meters and one sample from each depth was analysed.
DDH # | TOTAL DEPTH Meters | GROUNDWATER Samples |
DDH 19-01 | 647 | 18 |
DDH 19-02 | 595 | 2 |
DDH 21-01 | 191 | 3 |
DDH 21-04 | 518 | 4 |
Based on the results of chemical analysis for all of the depth-specific samples for each of the four exploration boreholes, it is concluded the basin consists of fresh water and less than 5 ppm (parts per million) lithium.

Drilling conditions were challenging as the fine grained and poorly consolidated nature of sediments that were only poorly to moderately cemented resulted in abundant borehole unravelling and “caving” during drilling.
In addition, the Ejidos, or local surface rights owners, threatened to blockade the access road to DDH 21-01. As a result, the Company decided to abandon this location and relocate drilling to 16 kilometers to the north that is the location for DDH 21-04.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control
In accordance with a request from the Company, M&A was contracted to oversee and act as the Qualified Person, as defined in National Instrument 43-101, to document the results from the late-2019 and 2021 exploration program in Salar del Diablo, near the town of
and October of 2021 in the south part of the OWL concessions. All drilling was done by
M&A field hydrogeologists were onsite during the period from
One of the objectives for this project was to collect groundwater samples at specific depths using inflatable packers that are able to isolate specific zones of the aquifer where samples could be obtained and attributed to that specific part of the aquifer.
During year 2019, 18 groundwater samples were obtained from borehole SDDDH19-01, at depths of 235 m, 301.6 m, 463.3 m, 506 m, and 633 m. A single sample from each depth was submitted for laboratory analysis. Two samples were obtained at borehole SD-DDHTC19-02 at a depth of 431 m; one of these was submitted for laboratory analysis. During year 2021, three groundwater samples were collected from borehole SD-DDH21-01, at a depth of 183.2 m; one of these was submitted for laboratory analysis. A total of four samples were collected at borehole SD-DDH21-04 at depths of 331 and 460 m; one sample from each depth was submitted for laboratory analysis.
During both the 2019 and 2021 campaigns, groundwater samples were obtained and submitted to ALS Laboratories’
All samples were kept in

are satisfied that the data resulting from the sampling program is representative of the conditions encountered in drill holes.
The sampling was controlled and verified in the field by the Qualified Person’s representatives. The analytical data from the field samples were tested and verified by detailed review of the ALS Global QA/QC data.
Recommendation
Because there is typically a high demand for fresh water in arid desert environments, M&A notes the groundwater in the basin may have considerable value for the region as the Salar del Diablo may have one of the larger freshwater aquifer systems in the

The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of any forward-looking information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the OWL.
