This has resulted in the identification of what is believed to be significant brine deposits extending across the majority of the relatively small portion of the Tolillar Salar that was investigated.
The high-powered VES survey was shot on a small portion of the Company's 27,500 hectares and successfully detected several horizons of high conductivity which likely represents subsurface brine deposits. The results coincide with shallow tests previously conducted on the salar which identified the presence of both brine and lithium.
As a result, discussions have commenced regarding expanding the survey area to the previously unexplored southern portion of the salar. The survey results also suggest that drilling a combination of shallow and deep holes to investigate the brine chemistry and hydraulic and hydrochemical behaviour of existing facies is highly warranted.
This was the second VES survey conducted on the property and it incorporated a total of 24 VES measurements to determine sediment thickness and subsurface structural conditions. Of the 24 shots, five parametric control soundings were shot on different known outcrops beside the salar to provide additional confidence in the results.
