La Rioja Claim Update
The Province of La Rioja has passed a new law declaring that all lithium claims granted or in application be
suspended for up to 240 days, while the province reviews lithium exploration rights. Origen’s Argentinian legal
counsel shares the view that the new law is unconstitutional and will be vigorously defending the Company’s
right to the claims which it was granted.
The Company will continue to explore its unaffected Los Sapitos lithium project in San Juan Province , which
represents approximately 75% of Origen’s lithium holdings in Argentina. Origen expects to mobilise a geological
crew to Los Sapitos by the end of February, building on the lithium brine, hot springs and clay-hosted discoveries
the Company made in the fall 2022 season.
