The Salar Tolillar is located in the region of Puna, Salta Province, near the border with the province of Catamarca and close to the Salar de Hombre Muerto. The distance from Salta city, capital of the province, is about 400 km. The height above sea level is about 3,800 mt.
The mining property covers the entire salar and has 8,800 hectares.
The Salar de Hombre Muerto, where the Fenix Project (FMC) is located, is the largest lithium deposit in Argentina brines. The Salar Tolillar is just 13 miles NW of Salar de Hombre Muerto.
So far Trendix Mining has carried out a first prospecting campaign, aimed at taking samples of surface brines, with highly anomalous contents found in lithium (up to 504 ppm) and potassium (up to 5,089 ppm). Trendix Mining has currently concluded a Exploration Contract with Option to Purchase with an exploration company of British origin.
This company starts in 2018 its plan of activities. At the moment, the initial results of geophysical exploration yield important results.
The final objective of the exploring task is to establish the potential of brines contained in this basin and ultimately, the economic content of Li and K salts.
