Dempsey gets a foot in the lithium brine door

Australia-based Dempsey Minerals has moved to secure a landholding in what is arguably the most productive lithium brine basin in Argentina at a time when the lithium market is experiencing significant growth. The company announced on Tuesday that it had entered into an exclusive option agreement with fellow Australian business Blue Sky Lithium to acquire mining tenements in the lithium-bearing Hombre Muerto salt flat in Catamarca, Argentina.
