Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. announced that it is expanding its portfolio of lithium exploration projects in Argentina's world renown Lithium Triangle. The Company has entered into a letter of intent with a local vendor to acquire a 100% interest in the 2,370 hectare Rincon West and 15,857 hectare Pocitos properties located in the heart of the prolific lithium district in Salta Province. The two properties, separated by 38 kilometres, are located approximately 90 kilometres west of the town of San Antonio de los Cobres, the largest town in Argentina's high plain, and approximately 250 kilometres west of the provincial capital city of Salta. The Rincon West prospect is a single mining concession with an area of 2,370 hectares, located on the west side of the Rincon Salar. It is close to the railway, and just 17 kilometres south of Provincial Route 51, the international road that connects to Chile's coastal ports. The InterAndes power corridor runs within one kilometre of the Rincon Salar. There are two significant lithium resource development projects on the salar, owned by Rincon Ltd. and Argosy Minerals both of which have executed demonstration-scale production of lithium carbonate. The Pocitos prospect is a group of eleven contiguous mining concessions totalling 15,857 hectares, located on the western side of the Pocitos Salar. The Provincial Route 17 and the natural gas pipeline-fed industrial park at the settlement of Pocitos are located 17 km to the east. The rail line that crosses the middle of the Pocitos property joins Salta with the port of Antofagasta on the Chilean Pacific coast. The present surface expression of the Pocitos Salar is approximately 57 kilometres north-south, and between 6-9 kilometres east-west. The salt pan is almost completely flat with portions of the older salar surface covered by talus and alluvial fan. The property has seen modest lithium exploration in the past, including geophysics and surface sampling, with very limited drilling.
