- The Maricunga project is one of less than half a dozen pre-production brine projects with lithium carbonate samples produced and has the highest lithium grade of these projects
- WorleyParsons is well advanced with the Definitive Feasibility Study
- The environmental impact assessment for the project is progressing towards submission in the 1st quarter 2018
