New World Resource Corp. announced the results of the Pastos Grandes salar brine sampling program. The company collected a total of 15 brine samples and 4 surficial water samples on a modified grid covering the entire Pastos Grandes salar. The company’s Pastos Grandes project covers the eastern section of the salar. The results of this sampling program are consistent with historical sampling conducted by the US Geological Survey and the University of La Paz, demonstrating high lithium content of over 1,000 parts per million ('ppm') and a very low Magnesium/Lithium ('Mg/Li') ratio of 2.77 at Pastos Grandes. The data also confirms high levels of Potassium ('K'). The company’s exploration team is now mobilizing to the project for additional follow-up sampling and site examination with consultants that have expertise in brine exploration techniques to design the next phase of exploration.
