- Progress towards EIA approval for the HMN Li Project
- Comprehensive environmental and technical assessment approach
- 100% ownership of the Hombre Muerto North Lithium Project
- Planned implementation of enhanced monitoring and mitigation protocols
- Additional regulatory requirements before final EIA approval
- Potential delays in project timeline due to regulatory process
- Construction of Pilot Plant contingent on EIA approval
The E.I.A is an important part of the further development of the HMN Li Project as it will permit the construction of a Pilot Plant for a planned Definitive Feasibility Study. The response is being completed by Lithium South's multidisciplinary team of geotechnical, hydrogeology, environmental and community relations engineers and consultants. The work will include:
- Targeted Field Campaign: a Standard Penetration Test (SPT) will confirm camp site stability while providing key data for foundation design.
- Hydro-geological verification: fresh groundwater-level readings will be collected across the entire piezometer network, with new protocols for monthly monitoring to ensure continuous oversight of the salar's water balance.
- Data integration and rapid reporting: Field results will feed directly into an expanded hydro-geological model, updated impact matrices, and an enhanced mitigation plan that addresses soil integrity, surface stability, erosion control, and ecosystem safeguards.
- Community transparency: summary findings will be shared with local stakeholders, reinforcing the Company's commitment to open dialogue and socio-environmental responsibility.
- Formal submission within ten business days: the Secretariat will receive a comprehensive technical dossier, including QA/QC logs, trend analyses, and a proactive engagement schedule for ongoing compliance reviews.
Building on this regulatory momentum, Lithium South will release a concise work plan for its Feasibility Study in the near future, outlining the project's optimized flowsheet, updated resource model, and expanded ESG framework designed to fast-track value creation for shareholders and the Province of Salta.
