Yes, good point Ben, a trading halt could have been a good idea, but then again I wouldn't have been able to buy more at what I hope will turn out to be bargain basement prices.

Anyway, we are all hoping the results will be good. As a taster, here's the project info from the ORE web site for Salinas Grandes:

"Salinas Grandes

Overview

One of the world's most exciting Lithium-Potash discoveries, Salinas Grandes is located in the Puna region of Argentina. Approximately 70km from Orocobre's Olaroz Project , Salinas Grandes is currently undergoing further evaluation to determine the potential of the project, and to evaluate whether the project should be developed as a standalone operation, or integrated with Olaroz.

In March 2010, Orocobre announced extensive pit sampling at Salinas Grandes that showed the highest average Lithium and Potassium grades in Argentina, and which were comparable to the world-class Atacama brines.

The sampling showed highly concentrated levels of lithium and potassium over an area of the nucleus covering approximately 60 km2 with lithium concentrations over 2000 mg/l, reaching a maximum of 3117 mg/l. In addition potassium values of greater than 20,000 mg/l occur over an area of approximately 40 km2, and boron values of greater than 500 mg/l occur over more than 50 km2. These results are considerably higher than the results produced on other salars in Argentina during regional assessments undertaken in the past.

The Salinas Grandes tenements are held by the Orocobre?s 85% owned subsidiary, South American Salars Pty Ltd.

Salinas Grandes - A New Chemistry Standard in Argentina

The key Lithium and Potassium values and ratios from Salinas Grandes are significantly higher than reported data from other salars in Argentina, and maybe comparable to the reported brines from the Salar de Atacama (the world's largest and lowest cost Lithium producer from brines), when the lower Mg/Li ratio is considered. Summary Salinas Grandes brine chemistry information is presented in the table below.

Based on Orocobre's initial findings, Salinas Grandes could become one of the world's premier Lithium and Potash assets, and its proximity to the company?s other interests provides an opportunity for significant operational synergies. Over the remainder of 2010, as Orocobre completes the Definitive Feasibility Study with Toyota Tsusho Corporation for Olaroz, the company will conduct further evaluations of the Salinas Grandes discovery to determine whether to develop the deposit as either a stand-alone Lithium project or as part of an integrated plan."
