Posted April 27, 2021 by lithiumextractionworks

SANTIAGO/REGION METROPOLITANA - Lithium Extraction Works is pleased to announce that it is set to acquire a closed copper mine located in Arauco in the Biobio Region in Central Chile.

 
Lithium Extraction Works’ Geological Team have visited the Arauco site and after extensive groundwork carried out, it has determined that the area hosts significant concentrations of a number of critical minerals, contained both in the bedrock and with the remains from previous mining operation at the site.

Lithium Extraction Works’ Chief Geological Officer, Mr. Bruce McArthur commented on the impending acquisition saying “During these uncertain economic times, our business model has remained sustainable and we are in a position to seize any opportunities. After extensive analysis, we believe that the Arauco site has considerable potential for growth as demand for phosphate mineral products is increasing.”

“After 2 months of drilling and exploration, Lithium Extraction Works can confidently announce that the tailings indicate the presence of significant concentrations of rare earths, scandium and zirconium and our engineers will successfully be able to recover these rare earths and this provides significant potential for future revenue growth,” added Bruce McArthur, Chief Geological Officer of Lithium Extraction Works.
