Located 120km from nearest town Tolar Grade, Mariana is accessible year round by paved and dirt roads. The Mariana project consists of several contiguous claims over 120 km2 covering the entire salar.
Historical sampling reported significant lithium, boron, and potash levels in brines and sediments within the main body of the salar. Salares, or salt lakes, contain minerals dissolved in brines and some include buried layers of evaporite minerals.
Four of seven water samples collected in the shallow subsurface over approximately 3 km returned values from 188 to 283 mg/L lithium, and 423 to 698 mg/L boron. This confirms that there are some brines present with concentrations similar to those found at producing salares in North and South America.
