Previously referred to as the Salinas Project, Baixa Grande consists of the main deposit and growth target within the Salinas group of properties held by Lithium Ionic.

“Baixa Grande is proving to be a key contributor to our long-term growth and production strategy. I am confident in our team’s ability to further enhance and upgrade these resources and continue to reinforce the importance of the Salinas group of properties within our portfolio. While our near-term focus remains on advancing Bandeira toward production, we are excited by the continued growth potential at Baixa Grande and other regional targets, and their role in supporting our vision of becoming a leading lithium producer,” commented Blake Hylands, CEO of Lithium Ionic.

Lithium Ionic last traded at $0.87 on the TSX Venture.
