Argosy has suspended their 2ktpa project as CIF Asia carbonate prices continue to fall to lows of $11/kg. Certainly a blow to confidence, and demonstrates how difficult it can be to get a brine project going.

CleanTech Lithium’s DLE pilot success: completes first stage of production
169 views Jul 22, 2024 #GreenEnergy #invest #investor

CleanTech Lithium PLC executive chairman Dr Steve Kesler speaks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest achievements in the company's Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) pilot plant.

CleanTech Lithium has completed the first stage of production from its DLE pilot plant, along with successful downstream process test work. Kesler highlights the comprehensive results that demonstrate the efficiency and consistency of the DLE process on its brine at Laguna Verde.

"We've shown that we're getting 95% recovery of lithium from the brine in the adsorption stage of the DLE and an overall recovery of 88% after the elution stage," said Kesler. This efficiency significantly outperforms conventional evaporation ponds, which have recovery rates of 40-45%.

The DLE process also exhibits excellent selectivity, rejecting over 99% of major impurities such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. This ensures a clean, concentrated eluate of lithium chloride, which is then shipped for downstream processing in Chicago. Initial tests confirm that the process can produce battery-grade lithium carbonate with a purity of 99.5%.

Kesler emphasised the importance of this milestone, as it allows CleanTech Lithium to introduce sustainable, green lithium to potential off-takers and strategic investors. The company’s lithium production uses renewable energy, resulting in a low carbon footprint and minimal water consumption, aligning with the sustainability goals of Europe and the United States.

The Chinese hashtag#battery industry is barely making any profit. The market for battery electric vehicles is growing more slowly than expected. The resulting overcapacity has led to massive price cuts, causing profits to hashtag#collapse.

📊 Industry magazine ICCSINO provides the latest hashtag#data on this:
* LFP at EUR 52/kWh (-50 % compared to January 2023)
? No more profit margins since November 2023
* NMC523 at 63 EUR/kWh (-47 % compared to January 2023)
? No more profit margins since June 2023
* NMC811 at EUR 79/kWh (-45 % compared to January 2023)
? Profit margins have fallen by 30 %, but still exist

💸 It is unclear how long the industry will be able to withstand this predatory hashtag#competition. In addition, the Chinese government recently announced first steps to consolidate the battery industry. In order to survive, the entire Chinese battery value chain is pushing into the global markets to win new customers.

🏭 This comes at the worst possible time for hashtag#European ambitions to establish their own battery value chain. Important investments have been made, but the factories are not yet running at full capacity and scrap rates still need to be reduced. Decisive political support is needed more than ever.

Codelco's Paloma Project in Maricunga: offers 49%, an investment of US$ 2,300 million and will start with evaporation
https://www.redimin.cl/el-proyecto-paloma-de-codelco-en-maricunga-ofrece-el-49-cifra-inversion-en-us-2-300-millones-y-partira-con-evaporacion/

In the presentation of the project, Codelco sets out deadlines and stages. In total, two phases of development are proposed, which consider different amounts, times and technologies. Although the national lithium strategy requires as a premise to end evaporation technology, to avoid environmental damage to the salt flats, and the application of new direct extraction (LED) technologies, the Paloma Project initially considers starting with evaporation in Maricunga. Codelco specifies that the first phase will require an investment of US$1,200 million to produce 20 tons of lithium carbonate: production would start in 2030. And it will use the mechanism of evaporation lagoons, which usually requires 18 months of permanence of the brines in pools. Construction would start in 2027 and, according to the schedule distributed, the feasibility study of the first stage

I'll be dead before Chile has DLE

The second phase, according to Codelco, considers 30,000 tons of lithium carbonate, an investment of US$1,100 million and the direct extraction method. The first production with this mechanism would begin, according to the estimated schedule, in 2033.

My one regret in the DLE space was never getting in this one. Young energetic, and always moving forward.

Prior to that, EnergyX closed its Series B financing from partners including General Motors and POSCO, who have first rights to portions of the company’s lithium production offtake.

https://www.mining.com/energyx-to-build-lithium-plant-in-us-ark-la-tex-region/

Privately-held Energy Exploration Technologies (EnergyX) announced Thursday its planned lithium project in North America called Lonestar Lithium, to be located in the “Ark-La-Tex” region, where the southern US states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas join.

Project Lonestar Lithium will have a target lithium production of 5,000 tonnes per year in Phase 1, then rising to 25,000 tonnes in Phase 2, the company said.

SIGN UP FOR THE BATTERY METALS DIGEST
In 2023, EnergyX acquired a Chile-based lithium resource, including 90,000 acres of mining concessions. The total potential inferred resource is in the range of 2.6 to 5.5 million tonnes supporting a 40,000-tonne-per-annum lithium plant, the company said, adding that multiple surface samples collected indicated lithium concentration topping over 400 mg/L.

The company also received last year a $5 million grant from the US Department of Energy with a $5 million company match to build a demonstration plant to produce lithium hydroxide from geothermal brines. This plant sets the foundation for project Lonestar Lithium, it said.

The ECB cut its benchmark rate to 3.75% from a record high of 4% at a meeting of the bank’s 26-member rate-setting council in Frankfurt.

Speaking afterward at a news conference, ECB President Christine Lagarde said inflation had eased enough for the central bank to start lowering rates.

Slide 1: The challenge facing new lithium supply is stark.
Supply needs to double every ~ 5 years

Even with Take or Pay contracts in place, many new mines and refineries will not be built with May 2024 price levels

Slide 2: At least 80 as-yet unfinanced lithium extraction operations are required* by
2035. Much of the pipeline of projects is struggling with financing today

A similar number of lithium refineries and expansions are also needed, often struggling with both financing and raw material supply

Contribution to the Treasury
https://www.redimin.cl/albemarle-se-sube-al-carro-y-prepara-inversion-sobre-us-1-000-millones-para-una-planta-de-litio-en-region-de-antofagasta/?feed_id=7711&_unique_id=66626c7a3fa1c

According to professionals linked to the company, in the 2023 fiscal year, Albemarle registered a record contribution to the Treasury of US$ 850 million.

This in a context in which lithium prices fell substantially from a peak of over US$ 70 thousand per ton recorded in 2022. In that year, the company transferred US$ 650 million to the Chilean Treasury.

In any case, the fall in lithium prices at the end of last year worried the U.S. firm, whose results for the year fell by US$ 1,100 million and totaled US$ 1,573 million in 2023. "We think prices are unsustainable today," Albemarle CEO Kent Maters said on a conference call with analysts, adding that they are "definitely below reinvestment levels."

How, then, do you explain the project that the firm is preparing in Chile? According to experts in the process, the concentration of lithium from the Salar de Atacama in the brines reaches the highest levels on the planet and therefore the extraction costs are lower.

May. 16, 2024
Exploring DLE
Lithium Energy announced it has executed a share purchase agreement with CNGR for the sale of Solaroz S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary with a 90% interest in the Solaroz project, located in Jujuy, Argentina. The total cash consideration is $63M, a roughly 70% premium to recent trading levels seen for the ASX listed company.

The sale is subject to several conditions, including shareholder approval. The board is considering distributing the cash consideration and/or organic opportunities in the battery minerals sector.

Solaroz is on the northern flanks of the Olaroz salar, where Arcadium’s Olaroz facility lies. The project’s MRE stands at 3.3 Mt LCE grading 305 mg/L Li, with a 1.3 Mt LCE high-grade core grading 400 mg/L Li. A 2023 PEA contemplated both 20 ktpa and 40 ktpa LCE evaporation pond operations, estimated at $705M and $1.28B CAPEX, respectively (including 30% contingency).

The company was also exploring DLE using technology provider Xi’An Lanshen New Material Technology, who had agreed to fund and build a 3 ktpa LCE pilot plant at Solaroz.

I hope Tesla bought those cheap LFP batteries for the China, plant.

[NanoEE]

If I was a savvy business man with horse power in Energy Storage, I would be building some off grid energy storage systems with lithium.

[NanoEE]

“optimisation plant”

Another way of saying, Testing facility, R&D Lab, Pilot, and/or Entry Filter Extraction Evaluation.

Looks promising, I like the downstream finish processing facility statement.

How low could LFP costs go?

There are countless ways cost reduction can be achieved within gigafactories, ranging from procurement, cell design and local price reductions. Here we explore 3 of them: a reduction in cathode active material (CAM) price due to LFP oversupply, halving of electricity/gas pricing due to local subsidies, and halving the workers required via increased factory optimisation.

Procuring cost-effective CAM is critical to reducing the cost of the cell. In the base case LFP CAM price is $8.5/kg, reducing to $6.2/kg in the optimised case, resulting in savings of almost $5/kWh. Short-term savings to this extent are feasible due to the oversupply of Chinese LFP which suppliers have been attempting to offload at severely discounted prices.

Very proud moment snapped here. Touching an IBC full of high purity 40% lithium chloride from our optimisation plant. Produced from 100% European brine, using VULSORB technology. This will be converted in our downstream lithium hydroxide plant, and be used for product qualification with our hashtag#EV, cathode and hashtag#battery customers. Sustainable lithium, and lithium from Europe, for Europe. With our team from Germany, Australia and France, as well as from 27 other countries, we are building a secure supply of critical real materials for the EV transition. I am so proud of what our amazing team has achieved, and I am beyond grateful to each and every one of you at Vulcan Energy Resources!

GMG is still my play, now that it is way below the value I called.

A lot going on with salt batteries, it’s hard to say who is going to come out on top/or make significant progress and gains from this technology.

Lithium
Lead
Zinc
Nickel
Cadmium
Silver
Cobalt
Sodium
Sulfur
Alkaline
Nuclear
Water
Aluminum

And that’s not all of the chemistry’s put into a cell(when I say chemistry’s I mean cells made up with materials listed above).

But wherever Sodium ends up, I hope it is in wind, solar, or hydro storage to dump into the grid, on demand.

30 companies and consortia from 12 countries present their technologies for direct lithium extraction to ENAMI
4/23/2024

A total of 30 companies and consortia from 12 countries participated in the global call to present technologies for direct extraction of lithium from brines convened by the National Mining Company (ENAMI) for its High Andean Salt Flats project.

The call for applications for the Request For Information (RFI) stage was opened on February 29, and applications were extended until April 20.

The objective of this call was to learn about the range of technologies available in the market and innovations in the field of direct lithium extraction, supporting the project developed by the state-owned company in the Atacama Region.

By country, the distribution of participating companies or consortia was as follows: 6 from the United States; 4 from China; 3 from Canada and France; 2 each from South Korea, Germany and Israel; 1 each from Japan, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, England, Chile and Great Britain-Australia. Meanwhile, one entity did not authorize the disclosure of the name of its legal personality.

According to the executive vice-president of the state-owned company, Iván Mlynarz, "the large number of companies and consortia participating in this RFI process reveals the high interest that our High Andean Salt Flats project arouses worldwide and the interest in contributing with technological developments with the least possible environmental impact on the territory, as proposed by the National Lithium Strategy defined by the government".

The next step in the process is that ENAMI will form a commission of experts that will recommend five of the thirty companies or consortia that applied for the call, to participate with their technologies in the laboratory tests with brine of the High Andean Salt Flats Project.

The list of entities that participated in the RFI process is as follows:

>3,000 mg/L Lithium and >98% Lithium Recovery Achieved in LithiumBank Test Work
November 23, 2023

LithiumBank has released the results of Go2Lithium’s (G2L) bench-scale Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) test work on brine from its Boardwalk Lithium Brine Project.

Highlights:
Greater than 98% recovery of lithium from the Boardwalk Project brine.
G2L’s cDLE® technology obtained the highest purity concentrated lithium solution (eluate) of the 15 technologies tested or assessed to date.
Greater than 90% reduction of calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), chlorine (Cl) impurities in the eluate.
G2L DLE produced lithium eluate concentration of > 3,000 mg/L (3 g/L) Li, which represents:
Greater than 40 fold increase in lithium concentration from feedstock; and
Greater than 40 fold volume reduction of brine post DLE processing.
Reagents used in the G2L DLE processing are approximately a third of the cost of those used in the DLE process that was used in the Company’s maiden Boardwalk PEA published in May 2023. The reagents in the existing PEA accounted for 54% of the total operating costs.
Results anticipated to be included in an updated Boardwalk PEA expected in late 2023.
Pilot Plant testing with G2L continuous DLE (cDLE®) technology, at a rate of up to 10,000L per day to commence Q1 2024.

”The test results from G2L represent a significant improvement in the overall purity of the concentrated brine, or eluate, from the existing DLE process we employed in our existing PEA. We are very pleased because we can achieve this purity level using lower cost reagents that are readily available in Central Alberta. The high-grade eluate of over 3,000 mg/L lithium represents a 40-fold reduction in brine volume which significantly reduces downstream handling and processing of the brine post-DLE concentration."

We are excited to continue optimizing our cDLE® process for the Boardwalk project brine. Our focus will remain on maximizing the recovery and purity of lithium while reducing operating and capital costs. We believe further efficiencies can be achieved when we start testing our technology in the cDLE® pilot plant that is being shipped to LithiumBank this month."
