Galan Lithium Limited (ASX:GLN) has received the essential government permits from the Ministra – Ministerio de Mineria (Mine Minister) in Catamarca to build its Stage 1 pilot plant and new camp accommodation at its flagship Hombre Muerto West (HMW) lithium brine project located in the Hombre Muerto West salt flat in the South American Lithium Triangle.
Managing Director, Juan Pablo (JP) Vargas de le Vega, said these permits were critical path items for the robustness of the HMW feasibility study and the pace at which it now moves forward.
“Galan wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks to the Minister and the Government for the grant of the permits in these trying times.
“Our company is entering an exciting new phase as we cement the development phase of our flagship project in Argentina.”
The company has now completed the first of its small scale evaporation ponds at HMW and is measuring evaporation rates, which are essential for the feasibility study.
Now that permits have been granted and the entire Galan project team has mobilised to Argentina, pilot plant and new camp construction activities will be expedited. The current high grade Indicated Resource for the HMW Project is 2,267Kt @ 946 mg/l Li.
The scoping study for the Candelas Project (Indicated Resources of 685Kt @ 672 mg/l Li) is also progressing well with study results expected to be finalised during Q4 2021.
