Agua Fria is part of the Electra Project, located in Sonora, Mexico.
Twenty four samples obtained through shallow trenching to define: Mineralogy; Lithium distribution; Lithium grade; Scope for beneficiation; By-product potential and Grade of by-products.
Adrian Griffin, managing director for LIT, commented:
"Lithium Australia and our partner, Alix Resources, are pleased to have progressed the project to the key metallurgical testing stage.
"The region offers great lithium potential, as has been demonstrated nearby, by Baconora Minerals.
"Working closely with Kappes Cassiday and Associates, we will use our past experience for the benefit of the project, to develop the best possible commercial outcome.
"The application of the best available processing technology is the key to success and we plan to use that key, not only on the Electra Project, but also on other lithium clay opportunities."
