Approximately 20,000 liters of representative brine samples from the Tramo well underwent evaporation and liming testwork at the Hombre Muerto North site. Further detailed laboratory-scale test work was conducted at Eon Minerals LLC's ("Eon") Laboratory in
The company explored two innovative process options, combining on-site evaporation with laboratory-scale tests using the Tramo claim brine. The first option yielded a super-concentrated Lithium Chloride (LiCl) brine containing
In the second option, Lithium South successfully produced a bulk lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) product, showing potential for purification to battery grade quality. This route, integrating boron solvent extraction, achieved an overall lithium extraction efficiency of
While the primary plan remains to produce Li2CO3 technical grade with a
"Exploring these innovative production methods allows us to future-proof our project and potentially tap into more lucrative markets," said Adrian F. C. Hobkirk, Founder and CEO of Lithium South. "We are thrilled by these test results, which affirm our capability to produce high-purity lithium compounds efficiently. While we remain focused on our primary production target, these successful tests provide us with valuable flexibility and a potential edge in the market."
Lithium South Development remains committed to advancing its HMN Li Project, leveraging both traditional and innovative methods to ensure sustainable, efficient, and high-quality lithium production.
