In this episode, we sit down with Gabriel Marcelo Rubacha, CEO of Noa Lithium Brines (TSXV: NOAL), for an in-depth update on their three Argentine brine projects—Rio Grande, Arizaro, and Salinas Grandes. We cover:

🌎 Why Argentina’s salar brines are the world’s lowest-cost lithium source and Rio Tinto’s US$10B bet on the region

🗺️ Project deep dive: high-grade 4.7 Mt @525 mg/L resource at Rio Grande, exploration potential at Arizaro, and infrastructure-rich Salinas Grandes

💧 Ongoing water-well drilling results and why securing industrial water is critical for process design

📊 Hatch-led PEA timeline targeting 20,000 tpa initial production and scalability to 40,000 tpa (Q3 results expected)

🤝 Funding strategy and ideal partner profile to transition from exploration to production
