About Pocitos 1 & 2
Pocitos 1 and Pocitos 2 are 800 hectares and 532 hectares contiguous lithium brine projects on the Pocitos Salar located just outside of Salta, Argentina.

Previous surface sampling, trenching and VTEM Geophysics carried out in 2018 suggest the continuity of the targeted lithium brine aquifer continuing from the Pocitos 1 block through the Pocitos 2 block with Pit 10 from trenching on the Pocitos 2 block having the highest trench sample at 181 PPM lithium, the highest lithium value found on the Pocitos salar to date.

Drilling from the Recharge's 2022 drill campaign at Pocitos 1 assayed 169 PPM and over a two-week period averaging 161 PPM Lithium. The 2022 well exceeded Recharge's technical team's expectations and that of the measured lithium content of the 2018 discovery wells. Pocitos 2 is permitted to drill two additional wells immediately at Recharge's go ahead (see Recharge's news release dated February 27, 2023).
