-
Sodium Carbonate, sodium sulphate and boric acid also planned
-
Resource due diligence & extraction methods for LiCl, LiOH, LiC03 KCl, have been finalised.

It is a hyper saline lake, brine enriched in lithium, magnesium, potash, and boron, with three rivers prov idi ng su b terranean waters fl ow ng i i nto t h e salar through volcanic rocks.
-
The project is situated at an elevation of 3,700 -
-
metres within the Antofalla Pocitos volcanic rift valley in the high Andean Plains, with 50 salars closeby.
-
This ponded evaporate deposit is estimated to contain:
-
1.8m tonnes of LiCO3 equivalent

-
Potential for production significantly greater than planned
-
Rapidly increasing world demand on many fronts not just batteries; independent of base metals, increasing price even with additional future
-
Admiralty production
-
Lowest Global Cost of Production ( estimated )
-
Relatively inexpensive to bring to Full Scale Production
-
Excellent Economics – tax free zone for sales (Zona franca, Guemes)

In the 1950’s CRA estimated there was 375,000 tonnes @ 15% Zn and 2% Pb of mainly oxide material.
-
The Bulman Leases and five nearby Zn-Pb occurrences historically were considered having potential for at least 1 , 000 , 000 t of at- surface and near-surface exploitable oxide and sulphide ore at greater than 10% combined zinc and lead.

The Pyke Hill Project is located approximately 40km southeast of the Murrin Murrin Nickel Operation, near Leonora, Western Australia.
-
Prospective for a high-grade nickel-cobalt lateritic resource. Estimated in-ground value $3.1b.
-
Aircore drilling undertaken by Cougar in FY2004 returned intersections including 7m @ 2 . 26% Ni , 6m @ 2.03% Ni and 8m @ 1.50% Ni.
-
In FY2005 Cougar completed two additional drilling programs at the project. A total of 25 holes for 896m were drilled, The second program was completed at the end of FY2005 and consisted of 31 Aircore drill holes for 1380m.
-
Results of the better intersections encountered ranged in thicknesses from 3m to 17m and averaged 7.5m. The depth to the top of mineralisation varied from 13m to a maximum of 23m. Grades averaged 1.48% Ni overall using a 1.2% Ni cut-off.
