Lithium producer Orocobre (TSX: ORI; ASX: ORE) plans to partner with junior Advantage Lithium (TSXV: AAL) on its Cauchari lithium project in northwestern Argentina’s Jujuy province. Cauchari is about 15 km south of Orocobre’s flagship Olaroz lithium facility, and sits adjacent to a project of the same name owned by Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC) and Sociedad Quimica y Mineral (NYSE: SQM). Under the letter of intent, Advantage Lithium will receive a 50% stake in Cauchari in exchange for giving Orocobre a 31.12% stake in the company, a 1% royalty, the right of first refusal for future brine production, and the right to nominate two members to Advantage Lithium’s board. Advantage Lithium can earn a further 25% stake in Cauchari by spending US$5 million over three years or completing a feasibility study in that period. The partners will set up a joint venture for Cauchari, which has an inferred resource of about 470,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent and 1.6 million tonnes of potash (potassium chloride).
