Lithium Energi Exploration Inc. announced the commencement of its Antofalla North Project drilling campaign. This significant milestone marks the start of a new chapter in LEXI's journey to provide the lithium needed to actually build the green energy economy. The drilling campaign, led by Dr. Gerardo Romero Agüero, President of Lithium Energi Argentina (LEA) S.A. and LEXI Director, has already reached the first 40 meters of the anticipated 400-meter well, with a state-of-the-art Boart Longyear LF90D smart drill.

Initial fluid samples were obtained and are now being sent to Alex Stewart Laboratories to yield a complete spectroscopic analysis of brine chemistry and lithium concentrations. The drilling campaign is being executed by a highly experienced, hyper-local team, ensuring the best possible understanding of the Antofalla Salar and its potential. The operation is being carried out entirely by companies from Catamarca, demonstrating LEXI's commitment to local empowerment and responsible practices.

In line with its commitment to the local community through infrastructure development, LEXI has provided a new generator with greater capacity to the Community of Antofalla. This initiative, coupled with the improvement and maintenance of over 22 km of local roads, facilitates LEXI's operations and significantly benefits local residents, tourists, and other companies in the area. These roads also provide access to other LEXI properties in the Antofalla North project.
