On 17th April 2019, Strike Resources Limited (ASX: SRK) announced that it has commenced a work programme at Solaroz Lithium Brine Project in Argentina. This development occurred after the positive meeting with the Secretary of Mines of Jujuy Province in Argentina. The company has started works on preparing an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the project. It will further include collecting and monitoring baseline environmental data and preparing a detailed proposed fieldwork programme for submission to the Jujuy Mining Authority (the provincial authority responsible for approving exploration and mining activities at Solaroz).
In a nutshell, the Environmental Impact Assessment comprises Environmental Information, Description of the Fieldwork, Environmental Impact, and Environmental Prevention and Mitigation.
The work under Environmental Information involves assessment of the location of the project; geomorphological units; weather description of the area; hydrological bodies in the area; depth of groundwater; water destination; soil use and destination; identification of protected areas; sites with historical, cultural, archaeological or paleontological value.
Description of the Fieldwork includes the objective of the exploration works; access to the project; fieldwork that will be developed; camp and facilities; number of employees; water source, quality and consumption; energy, type and use; chemicals, fuels and lubricants.
Environmental Impact involves the environmental impact of exploration works to geomorphology, water, soil, flora, fauna and the sociocultural environment.
Environmental Prevention and Mitigation consist of measurement and, where applicable, prevention and mitigation of any environmental impacts.
The abovementioned assessment will cover exploration works for a two-year period, which will involve a number of baseline studies and a process of consultation with impacted local communities. It is expected that preparation of the EIA (including community consultation) will take approximately three months.
The company’s proposed exploration programme (subject to granting of the EIA Report) will consist of geophysical surveys, followed by drilling, sampling and flow rate testing. The group is looking forward to working with the local communities, its local partner, Hanaq Argentina S.A. and the Jujuy Mining Authority to successfully advance the Solaroz Project.
