# PL3: Significant Pump Test Results from Well 8 Correction Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/pl3-significant-pump-test-results-from-well-8-correction--e6eb3327-959c-4249-8e05-8eb2940548a3 Original source: https://www.asx.com.au/asx/v2/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=pdf&idsId=03150602 Publisher: asx Original announcement: 2026-10-09T00:55:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-09T01:03:13.708Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-09T01:03:13.708Z - Company: Patagonia Lithium Ltd - Ticker: PL3 - Exchange: ASX - Region: Jujuy province, Argentina - Primary commodity: Lithium - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Other, Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-09 01:03:14 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Patagonia Lithium has issued a correction to its Well 8 pump test results, providing updated lithium concentrations and extraction depths. The test confirmed strong aquifer performance with a flow rate of approximately 2,042 L/h and lithium concentrations reaching up to 232 mg/L. Reasoning: The announcement provides corrected hydrogeological and geochemical data from a pump test, confirming lithium-rich brine and strong aquifer performance, though it is a correction to a prior release. - Positive factor: Strong pumping results from well 8 - Positive factor: Fast aquifer recovery - Positive factor: Lithium-rich brines confirmed in main aquifer interval - Positive factor: Correction provides more accurate extraction depth and lithium content - Negative factor: Document is a correction to a previous announcement Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions use of standards, blanks, and duplicates, and names Alex Stewart as the laboratory. Evidence · text > A distilled water sample and a lithium standard sample C 3001 \(400ppm lithium in solution\) was supplied to Alex Stewart labs. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
