SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lithium Power International Limited (ASX: LPI) (“LPI” or the “Company”), through its Joint Venture company, Minera Salar Blanco S.A. (“MSB”), has engaged Deloitte to assist with the Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) program for its Maricunga Stage One project.

As part of the program of work, Deloitte will conduct a verification, evaluation, and gap analysis of all MSB processes. This will ensure they are linked with the operational, environmental, and social requirements under the already approved Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and those to be considered in the update to the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) being completed for the Stage One.

We aim not only to set high technical standards, but also to establish a new way of relating with the communities.
