Orocobre Limited (ASX: ORE), a producer and explorer of minerals, announced on 26th April 2019 that NI 43-101 Technical Report published by Advantage Lithium Corp., an operator of the Cauchari Joint Venture, contains no material difference, as compared to the resource estimation posted by the company on 7th March 2019.
The independent technical report âNI 43-101â depicts the estimated resources on the Cauchari JV brine deposit in Jujuy Province in Argentina. Orocobre owns 35.5% of the companyâs issued capital and holds a 25% direct interest in the Joint Venture.
As per the company, based on a drilling campaign conducted by the company in 2018, the updated resource estimation increased the volume of 1.9km3 of brine at an average concentration of 476mg/I lithium equivalent.
The elaborated resource estimate for Cauchari Lithium Project:
The company updated the resources to 4.8 million tonnes of Lithium Carbonate equivalent under the Measured Resource and Indicated resource category (JORC 2012 Edition Classification), and 1.5 million tonnes under the Inferred Resource category.
As per the update dated on 7th March 2019, the 0.6km3 and 1.2km3 of brine under measured and indicated category average around 476mg/I and 473mg/I under the inferred category.
The company recently posted the best March quarter of its Olaroz Lithium Facility.
As mentioned above the independent technical report by the Advantage Lithium Corp. contains no material difference.
However, there are few ignorable differences in the estimation, which does not hamper the resource estimation considerably.
