Bacanora Lithium plc provided an operational update covering site activities at the Sonora Lithium Project (the "Project"), located in Mexico. To date, the Company has rescued, removed and stored the surface vegetation and topsoil in the area required for the construction of the lithium processing plant. This work was carried out with the help of a local specialist ecological services company based in Sonora in compliance with the highest environmental standards. As announced previously, the surface vegetation and topsoil is being stockpiled on the lease as it will be incorporated into the future project rehabilitation schedule. Bacanora has prepared the tender packages for the plant's site bulk earthworks, construction accommodation and access road and will commence discussions with bidders during Second Quarter 2021 to enable construction works to begin on-site in Third Quarter 2021. Bacanora will provide an update to the market once decisions have been finalised. Furthermore, Bacanora has commenced the recruitment process for the remaining key management team personnel required to deliver the Project. In addition, the Company has purchased the Las Perdices land package, located directly south of the existing areas previously purchased in 2019. These additional 9,000 hectares will provide the Company with greater access to flatter land, ensuring reduced earthwork costs alongside vital emergency access. The borefield test wells have also been finalised, and the extraction well design is underway. Work will commence in Third Quarter 2021 on the borefield to initially support the Project construction stages and subsequently, the lithium processing operations. The Bacanora construction team has now also commenced upgrading the temporary construction access road. This follows the completion of the preparatory work required, as detailed in February 2021, to ensure access to the minesite for the heavy equipment to commence the bulk site earthworks later this year.
