Patagonia Lithium has cleared key environmental hurdles for its Formentera and Cilon mines in Argentina, advancing permits for a 1,000 tonne demonstration plant while drilling hits 150m depth at Well 7.

Patagonia Lithium has completed a key packer test at its Formentera project, confirming high aquifer porosity and flow rates at 110m depth, while submitting a comprehensive environmental study to local authorities.

Alligator Energy has achieved 70% uranium recovery in its first well test at Samphire, with flow rates and uranium grades exceeding global ISR benchmarks, confirming the technical viability of its in-situ recovery approach.

Patagonia Lithium has reported strong assay and porosity results from its Formentera project in Argentina, alongside a successful $2.79 million capital raise that lifts its cash position to $3.4 million. The company is advancing drilling, seismic surveys, and plans for a 1,000 tonne lithium carbonate demonstration plant.

Pursuit Minerals has significantly extended the depth of its lithium brine exploration at the Mito tenement, Rio Grande Sur project, following advanced CSAMT data reprocessing. The company plans a three-hole drilling program to test these high-confidence targets, aiming to expand its resource base beyond the initial 5,000 tpa lithium carbonate production.

Patagonia Lithium Ltd (ASX:PL3) has reported exceptional porosity and specific yield results from Well Six at its Formentera Lithium Brine Project in Argentina, alongside a lithium assay of 412ppm. These findings support a sustainable pumping rate of approximately 160,000 litres per hour and underpin plans for an updated Mineral Resource Estimate.

Patagonia Lithium Ltd (ASX:PL3) has announced positive exploration results from Well JAM 25-05 at its Formentera Lithium Project in Argentina, with core analysis revealing porosity values above regional averages and lithium assays ranging from 156ppm to 219ppm. These findings may support an expansion of the company’s Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

Patagonia Lithium has reported robust 72-hour pump test results from its Formentera lithium brine project, signalling promising aquifer connectivity and flow rates that support upcoming production targets.

Patagonia Lithium has reported lithium assay results up to 412ppm from its Formentera well, surpassing the project average and setting the stage for an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and further drilling.

Galan Lithium’s Hombre Muerto West project in Argentina is 92% through Phase 1 construction, with commissioning and first lithium chloride concentrate production expected in 2026.

Patagonia Lithium has completed drilling its Formentera well to 488 metres, intersecting promising lithium-bearing brines and porous sediments. Early tests suggest strong flow rates and increasing lithium concentrations, setting the stage for resource upgrades.

Pursuit Minerals has delivered a compelling Pre-Feasibility Study for its Rio Grande Sur lithium project in Argentina, confirming strong economics and a maiden Ore Reserve. The company also secured a A$7 million capital raise to advance development.
