Galan Lithium confirms 160 metres of brine in latest drilling at Candelas in Argentina
Initial field testing has indicated a brine section with specific gravity up to 1.13 and conductivity of more than 200 mS/cm.

ASX:GLN
Galan Lithium Ltd is a lithium exploration and development business. The company’s flagship assets comprise two world-class lithium brine projects, HMW and Candelas, located on the Hombre Muerto Salar in Argentina, within South America’s ‘lithium triangle’. Galan is also exploring at Greenbushes South in Western Australia, approximately 3 km south of the Tier 1 Greenbushes Lithium Mine.

Initial field testing has indicated a brine section with specific gravity up to 1.13 and conductivity of more than 200 mS/cm.
This is another important step on the path towards a maiden lithium brine JORC resource.
Conductivity measurements on brine samples taken from Galan’s fifth drill hole at Candelas have indicated high conductivity.

The event from Tuesday to Thursday will feature more than 70 presentations along with a large exhibition area.
The results to date confirm that a potentially substantial volume of high quality, low impurity lithium bearing brine exists over a large area.
The company has started a fourth drill hole 35 kilometres south of the third hole.
High conductivity levels ranged from 183 to more than 200 mS/cm with geophysics and further sampling being undertaken.
Shares are trading up 13.8% to 37 cents at 12.49pm, well above the issue price.
Sample and geophysical profiling of the second drill hole has also been completed.
Recent geophysics and now drilling indicate the potential of Galan’s Candelas project to host a substantial volume of lithium brine.
Juan Pablo Vargas de la Vega is the second director this week to demonstrate confidence in the company’s lithium strategy.
Terry Gardiner has today acquired 100,000 shares and now holds almost 5.196 million in direct and indirect interests.
Recent geophysics and now drilling indicates the potential of the Candelas project to host a substantial volume of brine.
Exceptional intersection of 192 metres at 802 mg/litre lithium from the maiden drill hole at the Candelas Lithium Brine Project.
The company’s recent drilling confirmed exceptional, high-grade lithium-bearing brines at the Candelas Lithium Brine Project in Argentina.
Recent geophysical data and drilling indicated the potential for the project to host a substantial volume of lithium brine.
Impurity levels are low; comparable with high-quality brines currently being mined at Hombre Muerto.

The event will attract “the who’s who of the junior and mid-cap market CEOs” and will have a “bustling exhibition area”.
Notably, preliminary observations already confirmed a substantial intersection of brine.
The intersected brine has now been dispatched to a lab for lithium assaying.
