The agreement, initially involving a US$ 4 million payment plan, was concluded with a final payment of US$ 3.2 million, waiving previous exploration investment commitments. A 2% net smelter royalty will apply once production begins.

Pocitos and Rincon Salar: Multiple mining concessions in Salta Province, including eleven contiguous properties at Pocitos Salar and Villanoveño II at Rincon Salar, were secured. The total deal value was US$ 4.2 million and CA$ 700,000 in shares. The option was fully exercised with a final payment of US$ 2.9 million, resulting in complete ownership with no further royalties.

Ramos Properties: The final option for five mining concessions at Pocitos Salar, totaling 1,762 hectares, was completed with a final payment of US$ 550,000. A 1% net smelter royalty will be in place upon production.
