The company signed the LOI to acquire the property’s owner, Argentina Prime Holdings, for 5 million Alpha Lithium common shares.
Hombre Muerto is known for its premium quality lithium brine, record high lithium concentrations and exceptionally low impurities. This combination yields excellent raw material for ultra-high-purity lithium chemicals.

Upon completion of the acquisition, Alpha will earn a 100-per-cent working interest in the property with no third-party royalties or encumbrances.
The company plans to immediately initiate drilling in the area.
Brad Nichol, Alpha Lithium’s President and CEO, commented,
“This incredible and sizeable acquisition is a huge opportunity for the company and supports Alpha’s long-term vision of advancing the company into a lithium producer.”
