NOA Lithium reported successful initial hydraulic testing at its Rio Grande Project in Argentina, with well RT-RG26-PW002 achieving pumping rates of 25 L/s, exceeding the 15 L/s rate assumed in the project's PEA. A 48-hour continuous pumping test is currently underway to further refine the hydrogeological model.
NOA Lithium reported encouraging initial hydraulic testing results from its new well, RT-RG26-PW002, at the Rio Grande Project. The well achieved a recommended operating rate of 20 L/s, which exceeds the 15 L/s rate assumed in the project's Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Pursuit Minerals has commenced a new drilling program at its Rio Grande Sur project in Argentina. The campaign, including hole DDH-4, aims to test for lithium-bearing brines beyond the current mineral resource estimate boundaries.
Pursuit Minerals has secured environmental approvals in Salta, Argentina, allowing for the relocation of its lithium pilot plant to Rio Grande Sur and the commencement of a 500m diamond drill hole (DDH-4) at Demasía. These approvals enable the company to advance pilot-scale processing and exploration activities simultaneously.
Pursuit Minerals reported a high-grade lithium result of 809mg/L from drill hole DDH-3 at the Rio Grande Sur project in Argentina. The company is planning further assays and DDH-4 drilling, alongside an upcoming PFS addendum.
Pursuit Minerals has reported a high-grade lithium brine intercept of 809mg/L from packer testing in hole DDH-3 at the Mito area of the Rio Grande Sur project in Argentina. This result is significantly higher than the shallower 298.4mg/L intercept from the same hole and exceeds the project's current resource average of 424mg/L. The company is awaiting further assays from deeper samples to confirm continuity.
NOA Lithium has provided an update on its 2026 exploration drilling program at the Rio Grande Project in Argentina. The company reports that Well RT-RG26-PW001 has reached 254 metres and Well RT-RG26-PW002 has reached its planned depth of 504 metres, with BMR logging completed.
NOA Lithium provides an update on its 2026 exploration drilling program at the Rio Grande Project in Argentina. Two wells, RT-RG26-PW001 and RT-RG26-PW002, are currently being drilled to support hydrogeological modeling and the upcoming Preliminary Feasibility Study.
Lithium Argentina reported strong first quarter 2026 results, with lithium carbonate production of 9,660 tonnes near design capacity and cash operating costs below $5,400 per tonne. The company achieved a net income of $49 million and adjusted EBITDA of $106 million, alongside progress on its Stage 2 expansion and the completion of a $130 million debt facility. An updated mineral resource estimate for Cauchari-Olaroz expanded Measured and Indicated resources by 42% to 28 million tonnes LCE.
NOA Lithium Brines Inc. has engaged Hatch Limited to lead a process development study for its Rio Grande Project in Argentina. The study will evaluate direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology against existing evaporation pond flowsheets to support the company's upcoming Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS).
