- Significant opportunity to leverage Argosy’s lithium brine processing technology at strategic USA project
Argosy Minerals Limited (ASX: AGY ) (“ Argosy ” or “ Company ”) is pleased to advise the commencement of magnetotelluric resistivity surveying works at the Tonopah Lithium Project located in Nevada, USA.
The Company’s highly prospective Tonopah Lithium Project (“Tonopah”) is strategically located near Albemarle’s Silver Peak operation in Nevada, USA. Argosy has progressed its exploration programme works, following the earlier review of geophysical gravity data, which identified lithium brine trap targets that may contain accumulated concentrated lithium brine.
As part of the next stage exploration works, Argosy has contracted a Nevada-based geophysical contractor to carry out a magnetotelluric (MT) resistivity survey, covering three profile lines totalling ~20 lineal kilometres, and MT sites to be acquired on a 500 meter nominal station spacing along the three designated profiles.
Argosy has now received confirmation from its Nevada-based geophysical contractor that the MT survey works have commenced. Upon completion of the survey work and data acquisition, the data will be processed to allow analysis and interpretation works to be conducted.
The data acquired will greatly enhance the understanding of geological structures in the survey area and provide constrains for 3D inversion of the existing gravity data, to potentially locate the lithium brine trap targets. The data will be able to assist with defining depths to the resistive geologic basement, delineate low resistivity anomalies, potentially caused by lithium brine, and identify geologic structures in the survey area.
The Company can then consider potential drilling works to test the lithium brine prospectivity potential within the project area.
Argosy Managing Director, Jerko Zuvela said “The significant push for lithium supply in the USA is fast becoming critical and is paramount in their aim to promote the highly strategic battery minerals industries. The Tonopah Lithium Project will place Argosy in prime position to take

advantage of our technological expertise (and successfully producing battery quality lithium carbonate) in an established tier 1 mining region.
We look forward to progressing and realising the potential from our Tonopah Lithium Project and the benefits of being located in the US during this next stage of exponential growth in this industry.”
