The June quarter was an important period for the Company as we continued to expand our landholding at our 100% owned Pantera Lithium Brine Project in the Smackover Formation of Arkansas, USA. With the current landholding now at just under 26,000 acres, we now move our focus to drilling and testing our brine grade and how our brine performs with various DLE technologies.
