before the listing, will be at least USD $6.00 per share as the bottom end of
the range. Due to the extremely strong demand in all areas of lithium related

months following the listing. Beyond the first 6 months, the projected strong
growth of Blanco Minerals Inc. for the next 5 years should allow the share
