Ultra Lithium to Start Second Round of Exploration Program at Salar Laguna Verde Discovery Zone in Catamarca, Argentina
21 Noviembre 2017 - 8:00AM
Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSX-V:ULI) (“ULI” or “the Company”) is pleased
to announce that it is starting the second round of surface
sampling with focus on the Salar Laguna Verde Discovery Zone in the
Province of Catamarca, Argentina. The assay results from surface
sampling in this area, announced in ULI’s November 07, 2017 press
release indicated one sample with lithium (Li) value of 1100 parts
per million (ppm) and a magnesium to lithium ratio of less than
two. The field crew plans to mobilize to the property next week.
Exploratory sampling will be carried out by collecting surface
brines and shallow sub-surface brines down to a depth of
approximately one meter.
Further review of the assay results by the
Company’s technical team indicates a strong correlation of lithium
values with brine density measured in the field (See Table Below).
The other controlling physical parameters are pH, total dissolved
solids (TDS) and the influence of fresh water from alluvial fans in
the catchment area of Laguna Verde Salar. ULI’s working model for
exploration is that the potential source of lithium in the lagoon
and subsurface is hydrothermal movement of lithium through a system
of faults. A northwest–southeast running fault structure has been
identified in the field and on satellite images which is considered
a possible source of lithium concentration in this brine. This
interpretation of the results will be used as a guideline for
future sampling and testing work.
Dr. Weiguo Lang, CEO of Ultra Lithium, stated that,
“We are very excited about the Laguna Verde discovery and want to
continue exploring this area as a priority while we continue
working on other brine properties in Argentina. This phase of
exploration will help to increase our understanding of the lithium
concentration mechanism and its controlling geological processes.
Our efforts to acquire and explore Argentinian brine lithium assets
is paying off in a big way.”
Qualified PersonThe technical
information contained in this news release has been reviewed and
approved by Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., a qualified person, as defined
by NI 43-101 who works as Vice President Exploration of the
Company.
