Slide 4: Lithium – what’s all the fuss about?
Lithium – what’s all the fuss about? For personal use only It’s about the biggest change in energy management since the Industrial Revolution … The harnessing of energy has progressed from domesticating beasts of burden through steam power to internal combustion engines and portable nuclear reactors
Slide 5: Lithium Australia’s plan
Lithium Australia’s plan For personal use only The primary goal of ASX-listed Lithium Australia (LIT) is to apply its disruptive processing technologies to the production of lithium chemicals on a commercial scale, at an operating cost in the lowest quartile. LIT is, therefore, working diligently to
Slide 6: Lithium Australia’s achievements
Lithium Australia’s achievements For personal use only LIT’s exclusive processing technologies give it the capability to recover lithium from ALL hard-rock minerals – without the expense of roasting. SiLeach® – the future of lithium processing LIT aims to replace the energy-intensive processes used
Slide 7: A corporate approach to a greener future
A corporate approach to a greener future For personal use only SiLeach® and sustainability Lithium may well be fuelling the Energy Revolution, but at what cost? A mobile phone has run up an emissions debt before it’s even unpackaged, while a new EV might have created the equivalent of eight years wo
Slide 8: Where and how lithium is extracted
Where and how lithium is extracted For personal use only Lithium production pre-1980s Brine production Hard-rock production Pre-1980s, lithium was produced almost exclusively from pegmatites (hard-rock production). Chile Australia Lithium from brines 35% 34% Widespread production of lithium from bri
Slide 9: Froth flotation then; SiLeach® now?
Froth flotation then; SiLeach® now? For personal use only Some consider froth flotation the greatest invention ever to emerge from the Antipodes. It took a brewer, a metallurgist and a mining engineer, among others, to transform the waste dumps of Broken Hill into marketable ore and untold wealth. “
Slide 10: From alpha-spodumene to zinnwaldite: SiLeach® is the ultimate processing solution
From alpha-spodumene to zinnwaldite: SiLeach® is the ultimate processing solution For personal use only Trilithionite Trilithionite Spodumene Sulphuric acid leach – variable leach time, with the most commonly SiLeach® reduces most minerals to a common extraction curve by available lithium mineral, s
Slide 11: SiLeach® achieves a world first
SiLeach® achieves a world first For personal use only Independent pilot testing of SiLeach® As part of the commercialisation process, ANSTO Minerals operated a continuous pilot plant (pictured right) to process both lithium micas and spodumene. The mica was sourced from the Lepidolite Hill deposit,
Slide 12: Superior processing technology
Superior processing technology For personal use only SiLeach® is designed to rapidly digest ANY silicate mineral During conventional processing, lithium is recovered only Sulphur from spodumene concentrates, not lithium micas. Also, Sulphuric acid Electricity conventional processing incorporates a r
Slide 13: Efficacy of the SiLeach® process
Aspirational statement For personal use only Efficacy of the SiLeach® process SiLeach® does not incorporate a roasting phase to extract lithium and can potentially derive all its energy requirements from waste heat generated in the production of sulphuric acid. Therefore, operating inputs could be q
Slide 14: Strategic positions in lithium hot spots
Strategic positions in lithium hot spots For personal use only Resource security is a commercial imperative One of LIT‘s prime objectives is processing third-party ore, where much of the mining cost has already been absorbed during the extraction of other commodities. That said, LIT recognises such
Slide 15: Sustainability equals viability
Sustainability equals viability For personal use only The quest for a circular economy As discussed, the metals used in the production of LIBs face some interesting lifecycle threats. Cobalt, a major component of high- end LIBs, is largely a by-product of nickel and copper mining, with primary cobal
