Prefeasibility Study – Conceptual and numerical model.

Cauchari Salar, Jujuy, Argentina

Groundwater modeling of the Cauchari salar for Prefeasibility phase of the mine. The study included:

  • Definition of the conceptual data for water balance, geology and lithium grades.
  • Numerical model construction, steady state and transient calibration. Predictive simulations for Lithium Carbonate Equivalent, drawdown, particle tracking.
  • Optimization of the extraction wellfield and multispecies simulation for reserves estimation.
