Within proximity to major producers of lithium carbonate (FMC and SQM), Mariana has all the key characteristics of a potential producer. ILC has completed initial sampling and hydrogeology, is producing a NI43-101 technical report and is in preparation for the initial exploratory drill phase. Should all the factors prove to be favourable and the project advances accordingly a mineral resource can be estimated and a feasibility study completed in approximately 2 years.<\/span><\/em>“<\/div>\n

PARIS, Feb 16, 2010 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) —
French <\/span>investment company<\/span><\/a> Bollore SA (BOL.FR) and French metals and mining firm Eramet SA (ERA.FR) Tuesday said they have signed an exploration contract with a call option for <\/span>lithium<\/span><\/a> deposits with Argentina-based company Minera Santa Rita.
The two French companies will have access to concessions on several lithium-rich salt lakes in northern Argentina.
<\/span>The deal<\/a> will enable Bollore and Eramet to start exploration in order to estimate the resource and launch studies on a project for a lithium carbonate<\/a> production unit. Lithium carbonate is the raw material from which the lithium salts and lithium metal used in rechargeable batteries are produced.
The call option gives the Bollore-Eramet consortium the right to acquire those concessions following the studies, within 24 months.
