The pilot plant is located at a metallurgical facility approximately 100 miles south of the project. Purchasing of items for the pilot plant began in March and work progressed through the summer. With assembly and operational testing of component equipment finished, test extraction of lithium from the project's sample material will begin next week. The pilot plant will utilize chloride-based leaching combined with the Chemionex—Lionex process for direct lithium extraction (DLE), as described in previous announcements.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"The completion of the pilot plant represents a significant milestone and marks the culmination of months of work by Cypress, our consultants, and contractors\" stated\n \n Bill Willoughby\n \n , President and CEO of Cypress. \"This work, under the direction of Continental Metallurgical Services and supported by the management and personnel of del Sol Refining, Inc., has resulted in a pilot plant that embodies the research that went into our process flowsheet. The testing ahead will be one of the larger piloting efforts to extract lithium from clay in the world, and the only one based on a chloride approach to leaching. While the ultimate goal is to demonstrate the production of lithium hydroxide from our claystone resource on a larger scale, the results from the various areas within the plant, from leaching and tailings handling, to solution treatment and recycling, chemical usage and water ba...
