Lithium Australia NL expects to start pilot plant trials for its Sileach™ lithium extraction process in the next few weeks. The test work is being conducted at the ANSTO Minerals facility in Lucas Heights, New South Wales.
The grant will fund test work being undertaken at Murdoch University, Perth, on solutions generated from batch testing the Sileach™ process and will extend to solutions then produced from continuous pilot testing.
Lithium Australia has provided seed capital for LiGeneration Ltd, which is planning an ASX IPO before the year-end. LiGeneration owns 100% of three project areas neighbouring the second largest and richest global lithium reserve.
The move into Queensland adds to Lithium Australia’s expanding project suite and technological alliances over 2016 with private and government stakeholders. The broadened nationwide search will de-risk the company’s lithium port
Lithium Australia NL has identified assays of up to 4.08% lithium in recent fieldwork at the Ravensthorpe. Soil sampling will continue and drilling is planned pending the completion of environmental surveys and site-works.
Lithium Australia NL and partner have acquired rights to over 81 square kilometres in the Widgiemooltha pegmatite field, located 25 kilometres from the globally significant Mount Marion Lithium Project.
Steven Michael, MD, commented: "Historical exploration at the Plumridge Gold Project has demonstrated the potential of the HLSZ to contain high-grade gold mineralisation."
The granted tenure abuts Talison Lithium's mine which produces about 40% of global lithium supply from pegmatites, demonstrating the potential for economic discovery on Lithium Australia's licenses.
Recent assay results from Lithium Australia's joint venture partner, Alix Resources, have identified a lithium-bearing 1.1 kilometre long zone.
The quality of the lithium carbonate product appears suitable for further refining to produce high purity battery-grade lithium carbonate. The test program is optimising Lithium Australia's SileachTM process ahead of pilot testing.
Subject to the success of pilot testing of concentrates sourced from Pilbara’s Pilgangoora lithium project, the parties have agreed to establish the Sileach Joint Venture.
In the deal, Lithium Australia will receive all lithium rights over three licences that dominate coverage of the Lake Johnston lithium pegmatite field. Sampling by Poseidon on an adjacent tenement identified up to 3.85% lithium.
Lithium Australia is preparing for a drill program at the Ravensthorpe lithium project, which contains the Cocanarup lithium pegmatites. The project is located only a few kilometres from the Mt Cattlin lithium mine.
Lithium Australia's interest in Electra is significant for two reasons, it leverages them to exploration in a world class province, and provides them with an opportunity to develop a commercial processing technology applicable to lithium cl
Steven Michael, managing director for Segue, commented: "MMG has completed one of the largest and most detailed gravity surveys in the Fraser Range, and has identified numerous target areas for an immediate ground EM survey."
The company will now be solely focused on its large portfolio of lithium projects which can generate a steady flow of price sensitive news.
The GLiA is the third alliance Lithium Australia has formed in Western Australia, providing opportunities for the establishment of processing hubs using available processes, and specifically the licensing of the Sileach™ process.
