Tech One Lithium Resources has appointed A.I.S. Resources Limited as its operator and exploration team. A one-year exploration plan has already been outlined by AIS's technical team. Tech One can acquire the 20% held by AIS (for a total of 100%) by paying USD 6,000,000 to AIS if there is a resource estimate of at least 45,000 tonnes of lithium metal equivalent, and this increases by USD 250,000 for each increment of 5,000 tonnes. Previous explorers have sampled brines between 270-300ppm, from the top 50 metres of the Salar.
