Our assets consist four prospective lithium projects, spanning >1,250km2 in the lithium triangle in Chile, the world’s centre for battery-grade lithium production.
Projects include Laguna Verde and Francisco Basin, located c.300km by road from the mining centre of Copiapó in the Atacama region of Chile. The Company also has two exploration stage projects, Llamara, which is 600km north of the two flagship projects, and Salar de Atacama, which covers a total area of 377 km2
Flagship Projects
Laguna Verde
Has a JORC compliant resource estimate of 1.5 million tonnes LCE at 206mg/L Li.
Resource base with the potential for multi-decade commercial production. Well located for renewable energy and transport infrastructure.
Francisco Basin
Has a JORC compliant resource estimate of 0.5 million tonnes LCE at 305mg/L Li.
Well located for transport and infrastructure.
Exploration Stage Projects
Llamara
Complementary to the two flagship projects.
Llamara is a greenfield opportunity that could also utilise CTL’s DLE-based technology.
Salar de Atacama
Our most recent exploration stage project.
Salar de Atacama is the leading lithium production base in the world, with applications lodged and now registered for new licences totalling 337 km2 in the area. In line with Chile’s National Lithium Strategy, commercial developments in the basin will involve a joint venture with a state entity holding a majority (51%) stake.
