The fresh water source was found from a water well drilled on the northern section of the Project. Drilling of this Water Well was completed using rotary equipment to a depth of 190 meters, and development and testing of the Water Well is currently underway.
The water source is strategically located close to areas of the Project where the highest concentration of lithium and porosity have been found to date by the Company, providing for an accessible and strategic location for future development of a production facility and/or evaporation ponds in the northeast area of the Project.
NOA's Chief Executive Officer Gabriel Rubacha states: "This marks another significant milestone in the advancement of the Rio Grande Project. Not only have we discovered a fresh water source on-site and within our properties, but its location aligns perfectly with the area of highest lithium concentration and our preliminary assessment for locating a production facility and evaporation ponds. This adds meaningful value to the project's development potential."
The Water Well corresponds to one of three fresh water targets identified by the Company on its Rio Grande Project. NOA also announced that it continues to advance its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), which is expected to be completed in Q3 2025.
