This preliminary lithium carbonate (LCE) cargo is being delivered into the Sales and Purchase Agreement executed with Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan Ltd.

Argosy’s flagship and primary area of focus is Rincon, which is potentially a game-changing proposition given its location within the world-renowned Lithium Triangle, a region that is host to the world’s largest lithium resources.
