Latin Resources (ASX: LRS) has been aggressively growing its lithium land holding in Brazil, today adding another strategic tenement to the east of its existing position in the Bananal Valley district. 

The Lajinha tenement is considered highly prospective for lithium, covering an area of 470 hectares with known outcropping spodumene occurrences.
