This strategic initiative is being conducted in partnership with Queen's University and Stark Technologies and aims to unlock new economic and environmental value from lithium deposits at Rock Tech's Georgia Lake site near\n \n Beardmore, Ontario\n \n .\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The funding will accelerate research and pilot testing of innovative ore sorting solutions that target 80% lithium recovery rates from low-grade ores (0.3–0.5% Li₂O), traditionally considered uneconomic. The goal is to enhance the viability and sustainability of lithium production in\n \n Canada\n \n , directly supporting the province's critical minerals strategy and clean energy transition.\n \n\n\n \"We're proud to have the support of the Government of\n \n Ontario\n \n through the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund,\"\n \n said\n \n Mirco Wojnarowicz\n \n , Chief Executive...
