We are very encouraged with the multiple high-grade lithium results and the relatively low magnesium-lithium ratios from this sampling program. The outstanding success of this initial work program gives credence to our next phases of exploration activity which are anticipated to include geophysical surveying and drilling stated David Tafel, Portofinos CEO.
The Company further reports that additional exploration results are anticipated shortly for similar programs conducted on its Rio Grande and Project II properties.
