Carbine Tungsten Ltd. on May 31 said that it secured five exploration concessions over Salar de Miraje in northern Chile.

Meanwhile, substantial progress has been confirmed in the granting of outstanding applications in Salar de Bella Vista.

The company applied for these concessions following research and reconnaissance sampling of salt crusts during 2016.

Carbine has undertaken further sampling and anticipates making additional applications for exploration concessions following receipt of analyses.
