Pocitos 7
Pits (All Values in ppm (components per million) 10,000 ppm=1%) Lat 24˚ 34’ 11.57”S Lengthy 67˚ 00’ 50” (Pit 12)
Pocitos 9
Pits (All Values in ppm (components per million) 10,000 ppm=1%) Lat 24˚ 35’ 52.86”Lengthy 66˚ 59’ 20.62” (pit 17)
Yareta III Exploration Licence
Yareta III is on the southern finish of the Cauchari Salar close to Orocobre’s properties (now Allkem ASX:AKE). The mission isn’t on the halite on the salar.
