Medaro Mining Corp. provided an update regarding the venture?s innovative clean technology aimed at cost-effectively extracting lithium from spodumene. The JV?s technology, as previously announced, is a thermochemical solvent extraction technique designed to rapidly manufacture lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and/or lithium hydroxide (LiOH) from a variety of spodumene (LiAlSi2O6-rich) concentrates. The method is modular and highly scalable, thereby enabling a small ?factory footprint? and holds the potential to significantly decrease overall hard-rock lithium production costs. The technology?s principal features are: only three feedstock materials are required: (i) a spodumene concentrate, to produce high-purity Li2CO3 and/or high-purity LiOH; (ii) high-purity CO2, which is consumed in forming Li2CO3; and (iii) high-purity H2O, which is consumed in forming LiOH; it creates three potentially saleable high-purity products: (i) Li2CO3 and/or LiOH; (ii) aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3; and (iii) amorphous silica, SiO2; it eliminates use of conventional sulfuric acid leaching; and its modular capabilities allow for scalable and remote deployment. To date, the Company has completed the build-out of its laboratory facility in Kingston, Tennessee and immediately set out to confirm key aspects of the process viability. The team has successfully performed multiple tests at a low processing temperature which validated a critical cost saving capability through lower energy usage. Importantly, multiple tests indicated consistent 90% recovery of lithium and 30% of aluminum utilizing separate samples. Analysis of these results were tested and confirmed by Galbraith Labs (https://galbraith.com/) a respected global laboratory with seventy years of experience headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. Efforts are now underway to develop final stage processing steps to separate the remaining lithium and aluminum out of the spodumene.
