Recharge Resources Tax Structuring in Preparation for Drilling and Development at Pocitos 1 Lithium

Rhea-AI Summary

Recharge Resources Ltd. (RECHF: OTC) has announced its readiness for IVA tax settlement in Argentina for its upcoming drill program at the Pocitos 1 Lithium Salar. The drilling will target a 400+ meter well to confirm lithium brine continuity, critical for establishing a NI 43-101 compliant resource. CEO David Greenway emphasized the importance of tax structuring for operations in Argentina and noted the encouraging flow rates observed in previous drill holes. The Pocitos Project, spanning approximately 800 hectares, has previously yielded impressive brine flow results, with over USD $1.5 million invested in exploration.

CEO and director, David Greenway states, "Tax structuring is a crucial when hiring contractors, renting equipment, exploring and developing in the country of Argentina. We are moving forward quickly with our planned drilling at the Pocitos 1 lithium salar. As you can see from the video link above, and available on our website, the impressive flow rates were estimated upwards of 50,000 litres per min of lithium brine. With two existing drill holes in place, this new drilling will assist in establishing an NI 43-101 resource. We have benefitted greatly from an embedded geological and logistics team which has empowered us to truly hit the ground running."

About Pocitos 1 Lithium Brine Project

The Pocitos Project is located approximately 10km from the township of Pocitos where there is gas, electricity, and telephone internet services. Pocitos I is approximately 800 hectares and is accessible by road. Previous exploration and development teams have spent over USD $1.5 million exploring the project, including surface sampling, trenching, TEM geophysics and drilling two 400m holes that had outstanding brine flow results. Locations for immediate follow up drilling have already been designed and identified for upcoming exploration.

Lithium values of up to 125 ppm from Laboratory analysis conducted by Alex Stewart were recorded by A.I.S. Resources Ltd during the project’s first drill campaign in May 2018. AIS used a double packer in HQ Diamond drill holes drilled to a depth of 409 metres and the flow rate of the hole was estimated to exceed 50,000 Litres per minute and observed to continue for more than 5 hours (Investors should note that these estimates were not NI43-101 compliant). Both drill holes had exceptional brine flow rates. Recharge's plan is to sample or twin the current drill holes and drill a further two holes to work towards a NI 43-101 resource calculation
