* Diamond drillhole, PP-02-22, completed to a depth of 450m at Pata Pila licence.
* Results confirm HMW Project Mineral Resource extends to the east at depth, delivering further resource and potential production upside:
-- Extends brine potential a further 800m from existing drillhole (PP-01-19) to within 1km of the neighbouring Livent tenement boundary.
-- Downhole geophysics indicate high porosity intervals, particularly the sand units equating to high specific yield (porosity) and hydraulic conductivity.
-- Core logs and cuttings reveal detailed units with abundant sand-dominant lithologies showing strong indicators for brine-bearing production aquifers.
* Results to be incorporated into HMW Project Mineral Resource update, on track for completion during Q3 CY2022.
* Further exploration drilling of new target zones to commence this quarter.
* HMW pilot plant S1 pond filling with brine, evaporation testing to commence.
Galan Lithium Limited (ASX:GLN) (Galan or the Company) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the first drill hole in the latest drilling campaign at its 100% owned Hombre Muerto West Lithium Project (HMW Project), which is located on the Western Basin of the Hombre Muerto salar in Catamarca Province, Argentina.
