ASX-listed Galan Lithium has continued its strong sharemarket rise this year on the back of impressive new results from testing aimed at showing it can produce high-purity battery grade lithium carbonate from its flagship Hombre Muerto West lithium brine project located in Catamarca, Argentina.
Galan Lithium's share price has touched an all-time high after a second look at its pond design determined it might be able to squeeze up to 25,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent annually out its Hombre Muerto West lithium brine project in South America's renowned Lithium Triangle, rather than the originally contemplated 20,000 tonnes per annum.
Further investigation of ground that may cover an extension of the rocks that host the world's largest spodumene lithium mine is now in prospect for Galan Lithium after the company reported positive indicators from a site visit to its Greenbushes South property in WA's south-west.
