The 2,932 Hectares Yergo Project encompasses the entire Aparejos salar and is located approximately 20 kilometres south-east of Neo Lithium Corps 3Q project, which hosts one of the highest-grade lithium brine deposits in the world with a measured and indicated resource estimate of 4.01 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent at an average grade (concentration) of 614 mg/L lithium*.
The current Yergo exploration program comprises geological mapping and surface/near-surface brine sampling.

Brine sampling will be conducted on any surface waters encountered and from near-surface brines utilizing hand-augers. Portofinos geological team is currently on site and the Company has received the necessary exploration permits for the program. Brine samples will be shipped to a certified laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina for analysis.
