– northeasterly and easterly 161 kilometers to the border station at Maricunga, then south

and east 80 kilometers to Laguna Verde.

� Young volcanic cones and vents surround the entire basin, and in most instances constitute the

divides separating the basin from other valleys and nearby salars. – Elevations surrounding Laguna Verde reach 6,800 meters and more. The lake is fed by active hot springs,

and is thought to be of geothermal origin.

� March 2010 – undertook work program to determine the depth

and volume of the surface lake.

� April 2010 - Initiated a comprehensive lake brine sampling

program.

� June 2010 – filed a NI 43-101 technical report for an inferred

Major Projects – Laguna Brava

� The Laguna Brava Project comprises 16 mineral exploration claims, totaling 4,400 hectares.

� Situated near Maricunga, a noted mining district, in the same general region of the central

Andes, near the Argentine border - accessible via paved International Highway C31 from

Copiapo (travel time is 4 hours); project is accessible via 2 wheel drive vehicles.

� Situated in a region of young and active volcanoes and obvious geothermal activity.

� Entire catchment area is dominated by Cenozoic dacite and andesite volcanic rocks, many of

which have been altered by hydrothermal fluids associated with volcanism.

� The lake is fed by active hot springs, which appears to be the principal source of lithium,

potassium, and other metallic salts.

In April 2010, PALC initiated a comprehensive lake brine sampling � In April 2010, PALC initiated a comprehensive lake brine sampling
