CALGARY, ALBERTA, June 15, 2021 – Lithium Chile Inc. (“Lithium Chile” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that significant progress has been made towards the drilling of the Company’s initial production test well on its Arizaro property in Salta Province, Argentina.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Work program outlined and budget completed;

The initial operational meeting was held within a week of signing the LOI and plans continue to unfold quickly. Once the definitive agreement is completed prior to July 12th, the Company hopes to begin drilling the production test well.
