BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / ACCESSWIRE / October 12, 2023 / NOA Lithium Brines Inc. (TSX-V:NOAL) ("NOA" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has recently expanded it's land position in two of its projects, by acquiring two new mining claims. The first acquisition covers 4,351 hectares (" ha ") at the Arizaro salar (" Arizaro Claim ") and the second acquisition covers 1,124 ha at the Salinas Grandes salar (" Salinas Claim "), both properties are located in the Province of Salta, Argentina. These property acquisitions will be subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange, as applicable.

The Arizaro Claim (known as Tenement 23,614/18), provides the Company with a new exploration area, adding significant surface to the mining blocks already controlled by NOA in the Arizaro salar. With this acquisition, NOA now controls an area of approximately 39,028 ha at the Arizaro salar with the potential to further expand it with new concessions already applied for and still pending to be granted.

The Salinas Claim (known as Yacones Salinas V), is close to the Company ́s northern claims in the Salinas Grandes salar, in an area the Company believes has high potential for exploration. This new claim will form part of the Company's Salinas Grandes project which, inclusive of this acquisition, brings the Company's total controlling position to approximately 10,247 ha at the Salinas Grandes salar.

Gabriel Rubacha, Chief Executive Officer of NOA, stated, "These acquisitions strengthen NOA's position on both projects in the Arizaro and Salinas Grandes salars, two of the most exciting and underexplored lithium salars in the Lithium Triangle. These two claims will provide further exploration potential beyond our flagship Rio Grande project, where we are currently focusing our exploration efforts. Our current drilling campaign at Rio Grande is fully funded and on schedule to be completed before the end of the year, which plan to follow up with a published maiden resource estimate in early 2024".
