Pursuit Minerals Ltd (ASX:PUR): Significant Resource Upgrade for Rio Grande Sur Project
Managing Director and CEO Aaron Revelle recently spoke with Proactive’s Tylah Tully about Pursuit Minerals' flagship Rio Grande Sur Project in Salta Province, Argentina, highlighting a transformative resource upgrade.
The lithium resource has surged by over 300%, now standing at 1.1 million tonnes with grades exceeding 500 mg/L lithium. This major milestone solidifies the project's status as a key contender in the competitive lithium market.
Revelle noted that the enhanced resource, coupled with the 250-tonne lithium carbonate pilot plant in Salta City, significantly de-risks the operation. "With this expanded resource, we can plan for a mine life nearing 50 years, targeting the production of battery-grade lithium carbonate by Q1 2025," he said.
Pursuit is progressing feasibility and scoping studies aimed at scaling production up to 20,000 tonnes annually, with a focus in 2025 on achieving continuous pilot plant operations and further resource expansion.
Revelle also highlighted the project's competitive operating costs of $4,000–$5,000 per tonne, ensuring robust profitability even in the current lithium pricing environment.
This upgrade marks a pivotal step in Pursuit's journey toward becoming a significant lithium producer.
