Abstract
In a recent paper (Torres et al. 2006) we report the results from a highresolution optical spectroscopic survey searching for associations containing young stars (SACY), among optical counterparts of ROSAT All-Sky X-ray sources in the Southern Hemisphere. We have applied a convergence method in the (UVW) velocity space and have found several nearby young associations in the sample. As they are young and with different ages, those associations form an interesting laboratory to test the Li depletion theory, as a function of the star age. We present here our determination of Li abundance for two of them, the β Pic and AB Dor Associations.
