Galaxy Resources has completed an update of the definitive feasibility study (DFS) of its Sal de Vida lithium brine project on the Salar del Hombre Muerto in northwest Argentina that reaffirms the potential for a long-life, low-cost, highly profitable operation, with a revised post-tax net present value estimated at $1.48 billion at an 8% discount rate.
