Loren Currie, CEO stated: “We are very pleased to have reduced the capital requirements of the option agreement payments, which will allow Vatic to allocate more funding to the exploration of these highly prospective lithium pegmatite fields. Brazil has been a hot spot for hard rock lithium mining and exploration over the last year with news from Sigma Lithium starting production as well as a multitude of lithium discoveries throughout the country. A comprehensive 2024 work program is being planned to follow up and expand on recent 2023 sampling that returned up to 5.03% Li2O from the Solonópole South hard rock lithium pegmatite property.”

OVERVIEW – SOLONÓPOLE SOUTH LITHIUM PROPERTY

The Solonópole South is a highly prospective hard rock lithium property that hosts multiple extensive lithium bearing pegmatite dykes that recently returned initial grab samples of 5.03% Li2O, 3.72% Li2O and 3.41% Li2O.

Vatic is planning a work program that could include GPS sample site controls for overburden stripping, mapping, channel sampling and trenching.
