Covering 39,400ha, the Seven Salars Project in Region II, northern Chile, is a lithium brine asset portfolio equally owned by Talison Lithium and San Antonio.
Wealth Minerals Canada CEO Hendrik Van Alphen said: “The Seven Salars project is one of the most important large-scale lithium brine projects in Chile.
"The property includes the Salar de La Isla, believed by many to be Chile’s second largest lithium deposit and where 68 shallow drill hole samples returned an average lithium grade of 863mg/l."
