Galan Lithium Reports Successful 2022 Pumping Test Program

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galan Lithium announced completion of the company’s 2022 brine pumping test campaign at the HMW Project in Catamarca Province, Argentina.

A total of three production pumping wells were completed during the second half of 2022 – two at Pata Pila (PPB-01-21 and PPB-02-22) and one at Rana de Sal (PBRS-01-21)

The results from the three production wells tested at HMW, confirmed that the HMW Project is ready to provide the brine flow and quality for the 4,000 tonnes per annum LCE pilot development.

Strong extraction and production well chemistry results from all three long-term brine pumping tests support the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) as it approaches completion.

Further exploration drilling and sampling has continued across the HMW Project tenements to complement surface geophysical work.

“The positive long-term pumping brine test results are extremely significant by providing certainty of brine flow extraction, lithium grade, and cementing the HMW reserve model,” Galan Lithium exploration manager Álvaro Henríquez said.

“We have further demonstrated a high production capacity at both Pata Pila and Rana de Sal.

“Importantly, we have extended the reservoir quality throughout the main (uphill) alluvial deposits of Pata Pila.

“Recent results at Pucara de Salar also show further potential to expand the total HMW Project resource and reserve.

“All of the above factors, keep adding empirical support for the world-class nature of the HMW Project and its continued rapid advancement and development to production.”
