Update on Lithium Research and Development Joint Venture
Further to the announcement on 21 June 2017 regarding the
expansion of the lithium ore leaching joint venture between
Alexander and Dr. Nicholas Welham, the Company is pleased to
provide an update on recent activity.
High quality samples and/or concentrates of the lithium bearing
minerals zinnwaldite, lepidolite, petalite and spodumene have now
been received from prospective projects, advanced projects and
active operations in North America, Europe and Australia.
Once the mineralogical characterisation has been completed, the
ores will be subjected to a range of different chemical treatments
to assess their viability for leaching lithium under ambient
conditions. The reagents selected will include those known to
dissolve lithium minerals to provide a baseline against which the
new reagent scheme(s) can be compared. Once the range of options is
narrowed down a smaller suite of reagents will be trialled under
varying conditions to assess optimum leaching conditions. The
optimal conditions for the most prospective reagent(s) will then be
used to generate a large volume of solution which will be converted
into lithium carbonate using conventional technology.
It is anticipated that the initial stage of work will be
completed within three months.
