About Lithium South

Lithium South is focused on developing the Hombre Muerto North lithium project, located on the Hombre Muerto salar, a major lithium-producing salar in Argentina.  The property is adjacent to land under development by the Korean multinational corporation POSCO, which acquired the ground from Galaxy Resources Ltd. for US$280 million. The company completed a preliminary economic assessment of the HMN project in 2019, utilizing conventional evaporation extraction.

The company is evaluating conventional evaporation as a process method and direct lithium extraction (DLE) as an alternative method. In addition, the company is planning to potentially expand the known resource by drilling various areas of interest identified in a recent TEM survey. The company is awaiting approval of drill permits currently under review by the Mining Secretariat in Salta, Argentina.
