• A pump test was completed on the upper 16 m of well P2 in the south of the Litio tenement, with pumping sustained at a constant 45 litres/second over 7 days
• No change in the brine concentration over the pump test, with the brine concentration averaging 1,140 mg/l lithium and 8,322 mg/l potassium over the 7 days of test pumping
• Pump test only extracted brine from the upper salt unit, which contains higher than average grades to potentially sustain early project production
• This test confirms the high brine flows that can be achieved in the project, demonstrating that the upper salt unit supports the highest brine flow rates recorded to data on the project
Lithium Power International Limited (ASX:LPI) (“LPI” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise the results of a pump test completed on well P2 at the Maricunga lithium brine project in northern Chile. This pumping test demonstrated an excellent flow and brine concentration and LPI is very encouraged by the results, which as presented previously, compare very favourably to other lithium brine projects currently in production and in development within South America.
