Lithium Americas has started development planning for phase II expansion at the Caucharí-Olaroz lithium project in Argentina.
The partners are also planning to add infrastructure at the site to support long-term expansion beyond the second stage.
As per estimates, the Cauchari-Olaroz mine contains brine reserves of 1.1 billion cubic metres, grading 607mg/l lithium.
The project is expected to have 682,920t of lithium metal and 3.6 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent in proven and probable reserves.
Lithium Americas holds a 49% stake in the lithium project, while its Chinese partner has the remaining 51% holding.
