A comprehensive independent review has confirmed that graphite sourced from our Kookaburra Project, located on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, is ideal for use as a feedstock for high quality battery anode material to serve the fast-growing global EV markets. The review confirms existing data is sufficient for us to commence a Pre-Feasibility Study for KGP (due Q4 2024), targeting production of graphite concentrate at production rates 70-185% higher than those in the 2017 Feasibility Study. We have appointed Stephen McEwen as Project Development Manager to oversee the Kookaburra PFS, which is due for delivery in Q4 2024. The review allows us to fast-track downstream Battery Anode Material strategy with an integrated study set to commence in coming weeks. CEO Jonathon Trewartha said: "Our Kookaburra Graphite Project is an advanced graphite development project, with continued data reviews undertaken by management demonstrating that it is more advanced than I expected when I first joined Lincoln seven months ago. The presence of substantial quantities of micronised test work and high quality product samples fast tracks our plans to advance the project to production. Previous pilot plant test work undertaken in China and completed in 2018 used samples from not only the Kookaburra Gully Deposit but also the Koppio and Kookaburra Gully Extended deposit, giving a high confidence that the results we already possess are representative. This enables us to complete our Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for KGP with no further test work required, underpinning our aim to significantly expand graphite concentrate production rates in an updated PFS Study on track for Q4 2024. There is strong policy and funding support from various levels of Australian government for Australian critical minerals projects and the associated downstream supply chain. Lincoln considers itself ideally positioned to benefit from this policy and support and aims to work closely with government to see the rapid development of our compelling high grade project. Our recent appointment of Stephen McEwen as Project Development Manager underscores our dedication to deliver on time our upstream BAM Business Case and our Concentrate PFS."

Mielenkiintoinen fluorisälpä-artikkeli - "Fluorspar - the stealth battery mineral": "Although it’s hardly known to most people, fluorspar, also called fluorite, is used in many industrial processes, including making semiconductors, smelting, refrigeration, ceramics, coatings and so forth. Some uses, most notably per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, are being phased out. Australia recognised the importance of fluorine in December by listing it as a critical mineral. The US, EU, Japan and others had already taken similar action. Because it’s needed for battery packs, modules and cells, fluorspar is called the ‘the stealth battery mineral’ in industry circles. Reflecting the growing interest in fluorspar, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, a global market information provider, recently launched a service supporting this ‘quiet achiever of the EV battery sector’." #kriittisetmateriaalit #akkumateriaalit #fluorisälpä #fluorspar #fluorite #fluorine https://lnkd.in/dkxz9w8A

Our latest round of sampling at our Cabbage Spot Silica Sand Project in Western Australia has identified multiple large areas of High Purity Silica Sand (HPSS). Results from 43 surface samples have returned 𝗦𝗶𝗢₂ 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟵𝟴%, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝟵𝟴.𝟲%. The best result returned an in-situ grade of 99.4% SiO₂. We are currently conducting beneficiation testwork to determine the potential of Cabbage Spot silica sand for high-tech and photovoltaic applications. Managing Director Andrew Haythorpe said: “Our most recent sampling efforts have revealed multiple significant areas of High Purity Silica Sand, marking a significant stride in our exploration journey. The assays from 43 surface samples have impressively returned SiO₂ grades above 98%, with an average purity of 98.6%, clearly demonstrating the superior quality of our silica sand. Particularly striking was our best result, showing an in-situ purity of 99.4% SiO₂, which highlights the top-tier quality of our project. We've now moved onto beneficiation testwork to explore the full potential of the Cabbage Spot silica sand for use in high-tech and photovoltaic applications. These outcomes not only confirm the high-grade nature of our silica assets but also strengthen our dedication to providing essential materials for the renewable energy industry.” Read the full ASX Announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gg9yRU5y #ASX #ASXNews #silica #silicasand #APS #AllupSilica #miningnews

Delighted to announce that the Grant Agreement for Horizon Europe LITHOS has been signed by the EC! This European project targets responsible #lithium production & #refining in Europe! Why lithium? Because lithium, arguably the “most strategic critical raw material”, is instrumental in the transition to #climateneutrality. 👉 Project info This high-TRL #horizoneurope Innovation Action targets “Cost-effective processing and refining of lithium into lithium hydroxide from strategic European multi-mineral lithium hard-rock projects”. LITHOS’s meta-objective is to unleash Europe’s full Li-hard-rock ore potential (total: 8.8 Mt Li2O) so as to become self-sufficient by 2030–35 in terms of made-in-Europe LiOH·H2O. LITHOS is coordinated by VTT (Päivi Kinnunen). The consortium includes key players in the lithium value chain, ranging from Finnish Minerals Group - Suomen Malmijalostus Oy, KU Leuven (SIM2 KU Leuven), BRGM, Metso, Sibanye-Stillwater’s Keliber lithium project, Technical University of Crete, Savannah Resources PLC and Imerys. The project is set to start in January 2024. 🗺 More background on LITHOS The (almost signed) EC #Criticalrawmaterialsact (CRMA) sets “benchmarks along the strategic raw materials value chain and for the diversification of EU supplies”. LITHOS directly contributes to the 1st and 2nd CRMA benchmarks (10% domestic extraction; 40% domestic processing). LITHOS processes and refines the ores from three key projects in terms of domestic battery-grade LiOH·H2O production: two spodumene-bearing pegmatite cases (Keliber, Kaustinen, Finland; Savannah’s Barroso Lithium Project, Portugal) and one Rare-Metal Granite (RMG) case (Imerys’ Beauvoir mine in France). LITHOS expands and tailors the bespoke Keliber & Metso flowsheet, which was developed for regular-grade spodumene ores, so that (1) the cut-off grade for spodumene ores is reduced, resulting in larger Li reserves, while (2) allowing the commercialisation of lower-grade pegmatite & RMG deposits. LITHOS triggers innovations along the value chain – mineral processing, concentrate pre-treatment & hydrometallurgical refining – allowing to deal with different levels and types of impurities in non-spodumene Li minerals (lepidolite & petalite). LITHOS gives specific attention to closed-loop water systems in the mineral processing. The overall CO2 emissions will be 50% lower than today’s benchmark (production of spodumene concentrate in Australia & refining in China).

DLE update: 26 June 2024. The interesting bit for me is Koch saying it’s willing to give a “performance guarantee” that its adsorbent DLE will work on any brine in the world. In my view, that “performance guarantee” is a powerful marketing tool and seems to be a factor influencing Standard Lithium’s decision to select Koch LSS LiPro DLE over its own internally developed proprietary LiSTR. If you recall, LiSTR made higher concentration raw eluate than LSS Li-Pro. But impurity rejection was better using Koch DLE. All the details are in the DFS Technical Report. Link 🔗 in comments. So, in my view, it appears that superior impurity rejection and a “performance guarantee” by Koch were important factors in selecting Koch LSS Li-Pro over LiSTR which produced significantly higher concentrations of raw eluate. I’m watching and waiting with baited breath to see comparative raw eluate concentrations and impurity rejection data from Sunresin DLE and Koch DLE at Anson Paradox projects in Utah. And comparative raw eluate and impurity rejection data from Eramet at its newly commissioned DLE lithium project in Argentina. Remember also that some #DLE #lithium projects were expected to deliver commercial production in 2024. They still have 6 months left to deliver. Here’s hoping 🤞
