The pilot plant aims to show the lithium application can be scaled for commercial production. The pilot plant will produce a concentrated product to test further processing steps for making battery-grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide monohydrate.
Since the beginning of the year, LithiumBank has achieved significant milestones, including updated preliminary economic assessments (PEA). These deposits, among the largest in North America, are expected to cause minimal surface and water disturbance.
At Boardwalk, LithiumBank plans to drill a formerly producing hydrocarbon well to collect brine and confirm reservoir details, such as porosity and permeability. The well will be extended to about 2,830 metres to collect more brine samples, conduct chemical analysis, and perform various tests to determine deliverability and permeability.
Detailed geological analysis and subsurface reservoir modeling will help improve the resource…
