( TSXV:NOAL )( FSE:N7N ) (" NOA " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated May 29, 2024, the Company has filed an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report (" Technical Report " ) which includes the results of the fifth drill hole at its Rio Grande project (" Rio Grande Project ") and the Controlled Source Audio-Magnetotelluric (" CSAMT ") survey that was completed on all properties at the Rio Grande Project.
BUENOS AIRES，阿根廷 / ACCESSWIRE / 2024年7月10日 / NOA鋰滷水公司（ TSXV:NOAL ）（ FSE:N7N ）（簡稱“ NOA ”或“該公司”）高興地宣佈，根據其2024年5月29日發佈的新聞稿，公司已經提交了更新後的NI 43-101技術報告（“技術報告”）。該報告包括其里奧格蘭德項目（“里奧格蘭德項目”）的第五個鑽孔和在里奧格蘭德項目所有財產上完成的控制源音頻磁電測深（“CSAMt”）調查的結果。
Based on the previously announced resource estimate, Montgomery and Associates has updated the resource estimate in the Technical Report at the Rio Grande Project by including an additional 616,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (" LCE ") of measured resource with a concentration estimated at 571 milligrams per litre (" mg/l "), 123,000 metric tonnes (" Mt ") of LCE of indicated resource with a concentration estimated at 594 mg/l, and 159,000 Mt of LCE of inferred resource with a concentration estimated at 468 mg/l for an aggregate Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (" MRE ") of 4,697,000 Mt of LCE with an average estimated concentration of 525 mg/l.
基於之前宣佈的資源估計，蒙哥馬利和合夥人在里奧格蘭德項目的技術報告中更新了資源估計，包括額外的616,000噸鋰碳酸鹽當量（“ LCE ”），濃度估計爲571毫克/升（“ mg / l”）的測量資源，123,000公噸（“ Mt ”）的鋰碳酸鹽指示資源，其濃度估計爲594毫克/升，以及159,000 Mt鋰碳酸鹽的推斷資源，濃度估計爲468毫克/升，共計測量，指示和推斷礦物資源預計（“MRE”）爲4,697,000 Mt鋰碳酸鹽，平均濃度估計爲525毫克/升。
Highlights from the updated Technical Report include:
更新後技術報告的亮點包括：
Significant Measured Resource Expansion: There has been a significant increase in Measured resources to 2,094,000 Mt of LCE, from 1,478,000 Mt of LCE previously estimated, resulting in an increase of 42%.
Measured and Indicated Expansion: Associated with the increase above, Measured and Indicated Resource increased to 2,658,000 Mt of LCE, from 1,919,000 Mt of LCE previously estimated, resulting in an increase of 38%.
Revised Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE): The new MRE at the Rio Grande Project contains a total resource of approximately 4.7 million Mt of LCE with concentration estimated at 525 mg/l, resulting in an increase of 24% compared to the previously estimated MRE of approximately 3.8 million Mt that was disclosed in the Company's press release dated May 29, 2024.
重要的測量資源擴展：測量資源的數量從之前估計的1,478,000公噸鋰碳酸鹽顯著增加到2,094,000公噸鋰碳酸鹽，增加了42％。
測量和指示的擴展：隨着上述增加，測量和指示資源從先前估計的1,919,000公噸鋰碳酸鹽增加到2,658,000公噸鋰碳酸鹽，增加了38％。
修訂的礦物資源估算（MRE）：里奧格蘭德項目的新MRE包含約470萬公噸LCE的總資源，濃度估計爲525毫克/升，與公司2024年5月29日披露的約380萬公噸LCE的先前估計MRE相比增加了約24％。
NOA's Chief Executive Officer Gabriel Rubacha states: "This substantial increase in the resource estimate at our flagship Rio Grande Project highlights the progress NOA's team has made and emphasizes that this project continues to develop into a world class asset. We are encouraged by the updated results and look forward to starting our second stage drilling campaign to continue to develop this project and unlock value for our shareholders."
NOA的行政總裁加布里爾·魯巴查表示：“我們旗艦項目Rio Grande的資源估計數大幅增加，突顯出NOA團隊取得的進展，並強調該項目仍在不斷髮展成爲一個世界級資產。我們對更新的結果感到鼓舞，並期待着啓動我們的第二階段鑽探計劃，繼續開發這個項目併爲我們的股東創造價值。”

Notes:
注：
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that any or all of the Mineral Resources can be converted into Mineral Reserves after application of the modifying factors.
這些礦產資源並非礦產儲量，未能證明具備經濟價值。無法確保將這些礦產資源中的任何一種或全部轉化爲礦產儲量，即便使用了修正因素也仍不確定。
The conversion factor used to calculate the equivalents from their metal ions is simple and based on the molar weight for the elements added to generate the equivalent. The equations are as follows: Li x 5.3228 = lithium carbonate equivalent (Li 2 CO 3 ).
用於計算相當量的換算因子是基於添加元素的摩爾質量計算出來的。方程如下：Li x 5.3228 = 鋰碳酸鹽當量（Li2 CO 3）。
Tonnages are rounded to the nearest thousand and grades are rounded to the nearest whole number; comparison of values may not add due to rounding.
噸位四捨五入至千位，品位四捨五入至整數；由於舍入關係，該值的比較可能不準確。
