Lithium Energy Ltd (ASX:LEL) chairman William Johnson tells Proactive conventional solar pond evaporation is a suitable development option for its flagship Solaroz lithium brine project in Argentina, according to scoping study work completed to date. The Solaroz project is next to Allkem Ltd (ASX:AKE, OTC:OROCF, TSX:AKE)’s lithium facility in the Salar de Olaroz basin, in the heart of South America’s world-renowned ‘Lithium Triangle’. The study work also indicates that the Solaroz project is suitable for direct lithium extraction (DLE), providing the significant benefit of having multiple potential development pathways.
