The 2,421 hectare Quiron II property, in the Salar de Pocitos, Salta Province, Argentina is located approximately 12 kilometres from Liberty One Lithium's flagship asset \"Pocitos West Salar\".InvestmentPitch Media has produced a \"video\" which provides a brief overview of the company.

The VES survey included two East-West prospection lines, shown in red, to explore the extent and the conductivity of groundwater aquifers. Under optimal conditions like those at Salar de Pocitos, the survey allows accurate interpretation of brine aquifers to 350 meters and deeper.The Landsat image in the video indicates the station locations, with the white evaporites showing as close as 300 meters to the west; and the road/rail line that traverses the northwest part of the property. Field observations at Quiron II indicate that Salar de Pocitos is an ephemeral playa lake underlain by evaporite and clastic units, which extend under the alluvial cover on the prospect.Initial interpretation of the VES survey indicates subsurface zones of high electrical conductivity that likely correspond to brines within mixed clastic and evaporite units. A shallower subsurface zone of lower conductivity is interpreted to correspond to a freshwater aquifer above the brine. The largest high conductivity zone underlies the western half of the property, under a veneer of alluvium that is approximately 100 metres to 350 metres thick. The top of the interpreted brine zone is as shallow as 130 metres in depth, and likely is contiguous with the aquifer under Salar de Pocitos.Sandy MacDougall, Chairman, stated: \"The current lithium prospect review, including this initial inter...
