Our ESG Commitments & Priorities

1. Environmental Responsibility

We prioritise sustainable lithium extraction and resource efficiency to minimise our environmental footprint. Our key environmental initiatives include:

• Low-Impact Brine Extraction: Pursuing brine-based lithium production, which has a lower carbon footprint and reduced water usage compared to hard rock lithium mining.
• Water Conservation & Management: Implementing closed-loop brine evaporation systems to reduce freshwater consumption and optimise lithium recovery.
• Renewable Energy Integration: Evaluating solar and hybrid power solutions to further reduce operational emissions.

“Our goal is to establish one of the most environmentally responsible lithium brine projects in Argentina, leveraging sustainable extraction technologies and clean energy integration.”

2. Social Impact & Community Engagement

We believe in fostering mutually beneficial partnerships with local and indigenous communities. Our social responsibility initiatives focus on:

• Indigenous Engagement & Cultural Respect: Partnering with local communities in Salta, ensuring shared economic benefits, employment opportunities, and social inclusion.
