Xantippe Resources Limited has received geophysical results from Conhidro SRL on the high purity lithium brine area of Carachi Pampa in Catamarca, Argentina.
The results indicate that the salar is composed of five main layers, with a very resistive upper layer of 1 to 20 metres, two resistive layers from 20 to 300 metres, and two very conductive and conductive layers from 150 to 600 metres, suggesting the presence of highly saturated brine at depth.
The company has started the permitting process to drill down to 500 metres to test both lower layers, and once approved, will carry out brine sampling, core sampling and down-hole geophysics.
The Carachi Lithium Project is located in the Lithium triangle of South America, in Catamarca Province, Argentina, is adjacent to another well-advanced lithium project, and is close to a US$840 million lithium mine being developed by the Korean multinational corporation POSCO.
