  • Hole AS01 /seven samples range from 693 mg/L Li to 744 mg/L Li
  • AS01 hole lithium average is 722 mg/L Li
  • AS01 Brine zone is defined across a 240 m zone
  • Hole AS03 seven samples range from 749 mg/L Li to 752 mg/L Li
  • AS03 hole lithium average is 751 mg/L Li
  • AS03 Brine zone is defined across a 140 m zone
  • Drilling will begin on newly added hole AS02

 

Vancouver, BC – November 01, 2022 – Lithium South Development Corporation  (TSX-V: LIS) (OTCQB: LISMF) (Frankfurt: OGPQ) (the “Company”) is pleased to provide results from the ongoing drill campaign at the Hombre Muerto North Lithium Project (HMN Li Project) in Salta Province, Argentina.  The Company is reporting results from two completed wells. Two rigs are operating on site, and the program has been expanded to include an additional hole for a total of four core wells.

 

The current exploration is located within the Alba Sabrina claim block.  The claim block is comprised of 2,089 hectares and is the largest of the 3,287 hectare salar located claim package.  The newly revised drill plan (see enclosed map) has four holes located north to south, identified as AS01 ( completed ) , AS02 (completed ) , AS03 ( completed ) and AS04 now drilling, , along a six-kilometer section.

 

Results have now been received from Alex Stewart Laboratories of Mendoza, Argentina, an ISO Certified laboratory. Hole AS01 was completed to 299 m depth. Seven double packer samples were acquired using industry best practices, and under the supervision of Dr. Mark King, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Lithium results range from 693 mg/L to 744 mg/L,  for a hole  average of 722 mg/L lithium.  The zone of interest from the interpreted lithology is determined to exceed 240 m.

 

South of hole AS01, hole AS03 has been completed to a depth of 216 m. Five double packer samples were acquired. Thus far, the Company has received two results of the five samples acquired. One returned 749 mg/L Li and one returned 752 mg/L Li.  The zone of interest from the interpreted lithology is determined to exceed 140 m.

 

All completed holes have encountered zones of potentially significant porosity that include fine to medium grained sands and porous breccia. Porosity testing will be completed at Daniel B. Stevens  Laboratory located in Albuquerque, U.S.A.

 

Hole AS04 was the first hole completed with results announced August 10, 2022. The overall average of the three wells sampled to date is 734 mg/L Li.

 

Site preparation work is underway to locate four control wells to the west of the current drilling, to define the west boundary of the salar. In addition, Hole AS02 will be located between AS01 and AS03, for in-filling in the high-grade zone.

 

Company President and Chief Executive Officer Adrian F.C. Hobkirk is quoted “We are very encouraged with the exceptional results from the drilling completed to date. We are making excellent progress towards expanding the total resource at the Hombre Muerto North Lithium Project ”.
