Snapshot	The Candelas Project is part of the Hombre Muerto basin, one of the most globally prolific salt flats. The Candelas Project is located approximately 40 km ESE of the Hombre Muerto West (HMW) Project. The Candelas project will be incorporated into Phase 4 of the HMW Project's 60 ktpa LCE long term production plan. On 29 January 2025, Galan Lithium announced a substantial increase in the mineral resources at its 100% owned Candelas lithium brine project. The Candelas Mineral Resource was increased by more than 150%. This increase provides Galan with increased optionality in commercialising the project with significant upside potential also identified to further enhance the latest Candelas Mineral Resource.

Deposit type

• Brine

Summary:

The Candelas licence area is located within a structurally controlled basin (graben) and is part of the Hombre Muerto salar. The salar hosts a world-renowned lithium brine deposit. The lithium is sourced locally from weathered and altered felsic ignimbrites and is concentrated in brines hosted within basin fill alluvial sediments and evaporites.

Dimensions
The extents of the resource are up to 6 km (easting) by 13 km (northing) by 600 m (vertical), giving a total volume of 2,250 Mm3.
