Argentina Lithium Expands Holdings, Plans Up to 10,000 metres of Drilling at Lithium Projects

Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. (TSX-V:LIT)
(FSE:OAY1) (WKN:A0RK7E) (OTC:PNXLF)
“Argentina Lithium” or
the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on
exploration programs on its two active lithium exploration projects
at the Arizaro and Incahuasi salars located in the prolific Lithium
Triangle in Argentina. Due to an increase in activities, a
new Project Manager is being hired to manage exploration moving
forward.
The Company has recently expanded the property
holdings at the Arizaro project in Salta province by an additional
7,030 ha. Geophysical and seismic surveying is the next step prior
to a Phase II drill program to test for deep brines.
At the new wholly-owned Incahuasi project in
Catamarca province, the Company plans to move directly into a first
drill program, and is now in the process of obtaining permits to do
so. The Company recently announced the acquisition of the
property which controls the entire salar as well as initial surface
sampling and VES geophysical results (See press release dated
November 6, 2017). The results included samples of 409 mg/l Lithium
at surface.
It is expected that the two properties will see
up to 10,000 metres of drilling collectively.
“We are very encouraged by the results to
date at these two large and promising projects,” said Nikolaos
Cacos, President and C.E.O. “We are happy to now be stepping up the
pace of work and we expect the next six months to provide
significant data at Arizaro and Incahuasi.”
About the Arizaro Lithium
Project
The Company has the option to earn a 100%
interest in the Arizaro Lithium Brine Project, including 27,530
hectares in the central core of the Arizaro Salar, the largest in
Argentina and third largest in the "Lithium Triangle". Very little
historic exploration work has been done on the Arizaro Salar,
however the central area is interpreted to have the geologic
conditions to be the most prospective for quality brine resources.
Furthermore, the Arizaro Salar benefits from a strategic location
for infrastructure, including: a railway that connects to the deep
water port of Antofagasta, nearby advanced mining projects that are
expected to bring significant development of access routes and
power, and the availability of water for development. The Company
recently amended its option agreement for the Arizaro project to
defer US$650,000 of the November 1st 2017 payment to December 1st,
2017. A payment of US$200,000 was made on November 1st as
originally scheduled.
About the Incahuasi Lithium
Project
The Company has acquired a 100% interest in, or
has under application, mineral rights totaling 23,700 hectares
covering the entire Incahuasi salar and basin in Catamarca
Province, Argentina. The 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 has returned up to 409mg/L lithium, and
geophysical surveying indicates the potential for lithium-rich
brines at depth.
