Salinas hosts a global mineral resource of 77.7Mt at 1.24% Li₂O, with the Colina deposit being the largest in Brazil at 70.9Mt at 1.25% Li₂O.
95% of Colina’s resource is in JORC Measured and Indicated categories, providing a strong foundation for mine planning and reserve declaration.
The resource remains open at depth and along strike, with additional exploration targets indicating potential for further growth.
