Concentrating lithium with lower cost and lower footprint has arrived at Fastmarkets! The Altillion, Inc. team is looking forward to Day 1 of the Lithium Supply & Battery Raw Materials 2024 Conference. Lithium brine asset developers are hungry for solutions that reduce project CAPEX, ease the barriers to project financing, and preserve profit margins in a turbulent lithium price environment. Let’s connect to explore how Altillion’s ALIX technology concentrates the eluate from other DLE technologies with the lowest cost and lowest footprint. #lithium #brine #criticalminerals

How do the basic economics work for our Lithium refinery? Tees Valley Lithium Ltd's refinery located at the Wilton International Chemicals Park in Teesside UK is targeting a 25% EBITDA margin, which we think will hold firm or maybe slightly better throughout the whole lithium price cycle. We are not taking lithium price risk.

Century Lithium Corp Produces Lithium Carbonate at Pilot Plant “At this point in time, the ability to make lithium carbonate at our pilot plant is an important step forward, in line with recommendations from our recently completed feasibility study” commented president and CEO, Bill Willoughby. “The drop in lithium prices over the last year has taken a toll on the share price of all lithium companies. Despite the downturn, domestic production is still key to the security of supply in the US. While it is becoming well known that a vast amount of lithium is contained within the claystone deposits of Nevada, the benefit in unlocking these resources is the ability to produce a battery quality lithium product onsite and thereby reducing or eliminating the need for downstream processing.” Read more here: https://hubs.la/Q02KmDmg0 #TSXV #LCE

Fantastic news as we head into Cleantech Group's APAC Cleantech Forum in Singapore today where we will be recognised as one of the top cleantech companies in APAC. Our work with Mandrake Resources Limited validates DLE-R's ability to produce 99.9% pure battery grade lithium hydroxide from geothermal / oilfield brines in the United States. DLE-R's proprietary electro-membrane technology delivered this result using no water, no chemicals and minimal energy, making it ideal for Utah's water and resource constrained Paradox Basin. This Proof-of-Concept represents the first time any DLE technology has directly produced battery grade lithium hydroxide in a single, modular step. #DLE #apaccleantech25 #lithium https://lnkd.in/g4pbNH-g

We’re excited to launch the 2023 Arcadium Lithium #Sustainability Report At Arcadium Lithium, our purpose is to safely and responsibly harness the power of #lithium to improve people’s lives and accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. We are committed to the transparent disclosure of our ESG performance, and we are proud of the role that we play in the critical minerals supply chain, advancing #battery technology and the transition to a clean energy future. Paul Graves, CEO: “We are pleased to issue the first sustainability report as Arcadium Lithium following the merger of equals between Allkem Limited and Livent in January 2024. Arcadium Lithium brings together two companies with long-standing, dedicated approaches to sustainability and this year’s report demonstrates our ongoing progress towards making a positive impact for our customers, employees and communities.” Karen Vizental, Chief Sustainability and Global Communications Officer: "The report brings the opportunity to start telling the sustainability story of Arcadium Lithium, marking a significant milestone in our journey towards a more responsible and resilient future.

Earlier this month, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence hosted the World Lithium Congress on the final day of #GigaUSA. Here, Benchmark Source outlines four key takeaways from the event. 1. Lithium industry scaleup needed to meet battery demands “The ability to scale lithium will ultimately dictate the ability to deliver a clean energy economy.” - Andrew Miller, Benchmark's COO 2. Lithium is global, but China is central Chinese companies were associated with around 60% of 2023 mined lithium production, despite just 20% of supply coming from China. 3. Lithium price volatility makes investment challenging "The degree of volatility and exaggerated volatility [...] is a major hurdle for existing participants and for aspirants." - Daniel Fletcher-Manuel, director of prices and data at Benchmark. 4. ESG compliance is crucial but requires changes to markets "We need to reward sellers that invest in improving quality and sustainability of critical minerals." - Kevin Rudd, Australia's ambassador to the United States.

Century Lithium Corp Reports 99.5% Lithium Carbonate at Pilot Plant These results mark yet another accomplishment by our pilot plant team” said president and CEO Bill Willoughby. “Until recently, we have focused on producing a concentrated lithium chloride solution, a representative portion of which we shipped offsite for conversion. We chose to focus on lithium carbonate as the end-product for our project, as it is a natural fit given the approach we developed for processing. With the ability to generate lithium carbonate samples onsite, the pilot plant is a more complete representation of the processes involved in a full-scale operation, and we can now supply lithium carbonate samples for testing by prospective partners and end-users.” Read more here: https://hubs.la/Q02QSzN00 #TSXV #LCE
