American Salars Lithium Inc. (CSE: USLI, OTC: ASALF, FWB: Z3P, WKN: A3E2NY) has announced the registration of a new subsidiary in Argentina. The subsidiary, named American Salars Pocitos SA, will oversee the Pocitos 1 lithium project.
Overview of Pocitos 1 Lithium Deposit
WSP Australia recently updated the NI 43-101 report, estimating an inferred Mineral Resource of 760,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) for Pocitos 1 and neighboring Pocitos 2 blocks. Notably, all drilling so far has been conducted on the Pocitos 1 block.
Location and Infrastructure
Pocitos 1 is located 10 kilometers from the town of Pocitos, with accessible gas, electricity, and accommodation. The project spans 800 hectares and has benefited from over $2.0 million in exploration since 2017, including drilling three wells with outstanding brine flow results.
Drilling and Results
Drill hole PCT22-03 recorded lithium values of 169 ppm using packer sampling during the December 2022 campaign. The results showed excellent brine flow rates. Ekosolve Ltd. also produced 99.8% purity lithium carbonate, extracting over 94% of lithium from the brine.

Candela II, located on the southern end of the Incahuasi Salar in Salta, Argentina, is 267 kilometers from Salta. The NI 43-101 report estimates the deposit contains 86,000 tonnes of lithium metal, equivalent to 457,500 tonnes of in-situ LCE. The estimated yield is 48,000 tonnes of LCE from 9,000 tonnes of lithium metal.
