Standard Lithium Advances Project Pipeline as It Commences Preliminary Feasibility Study at Its South West Arkansas Lithium Project
EL DORADO, Ark., Could 02, 2022 (Globe NEWSWIRE) — Regular Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SLI) (NYSE American: SLI) (FRA: S5L), an ground breaking technological know-how and lithium task progress business, today introduced the commencement of a Preliminary Feasibility Review (PFS) at its South West Arkansas Lithium Venture (the “Project”), which is situated roughly 35 miles west of the Company’s Lanxess venture.
Regular Lithium a short while ago concluded a Preliminary Economic Assessment at the Challenge (see Firm information launch Nov 26, 2021), and on the foundation of optimistic undertaking economics and favorable challenge fundamentals, the Enterprise has commissioned a group of specialized gurus to entire a NI43-101 compliant PFS for the Project. The PFS will take into consideration an built-in undertaking which include brine provide and injection wells, pipelines and brine treatment method infrastructure, a Immediate Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) plant utilizing the Company’s proprietary LiSTR technological know-how, and a lithium chloride to lithium hydroxide conversion plant.
Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Typical Lithium commented “adhering to the vital expenditure from Koch Strategic Platforms in Q4 2021, we have been ready to grow our team with supplemental technical and administration strength. Now we can handle and travel a number of initiatives in parallel. The graduation of this complete PFS is a testament to the Company’s ambition to not only deliver the initially new commercial lithium job into output in the United States in 6 many years, but also to have a sturdy pipeline of subsequent tasks that will provide the future demand from customers for lithium chemical compounds in North The us. We have assembled a wide team of consultants, technological advisors and subject make any difference industry experts to full all the needed operate for this PFS, and we will also be doing the job hand in hand with our strategic and challenge companions to ensure profitable execution. We anticipate to total the bulk of the operate via the harmony of 2022, with completion and reporting of the success of the PFS in Q1 2023.”
Typical Lithium has engaged Hunt, Guillot & Associates from Ruston, Louisiana (“HGA”) as the lead consultant, to put together and coordinate the PFS with assistance of a multi-disciplinary specialized crew. The operate plan to aid the PFS will consist of the next:
-
Reentry of existing wells across Standard Lithium’s brine lease region to obtain new representative brine samples from the Smackover Formation
-
Reperforation of current wells, where by feasible, to get discrete depth-distinct brine samples from earlier unsampled zones of the Smackover
-
Drilling of a new effectively in a vital place to total info protection throughout the Company’s brine lease region
-
Long period pumping tests from picked wells to test hydrogeological and reservoir circumstances for brine extraction and reinjection
-
Collection of substantial quantity brine samples for the duration of pumping checks to make it possible for the South West Venture brine to be processed as a result of Common Lithium’s proprietary LiSTR DLE process
-
Acquisition and reprocessing of further 2D seismic info across and adjacent to the Company’s brine leases
-
Technology of a new 3D reservoir model to identify an current in-situ lithium source, and extraction/reinjection generation designs for the business facility
-
Completion of a number of Pilot Scientific tests with technology companions to take a look at the lithium chloride to lithium hydroxide conversion system at ample scale and duration. These reports will be done employing LiCl produced by the Company’s running LiSTR Demonstration Plant
-
Current capital expenditures (AACE Class 4 estimate +45/-25%) for a comparable 30,000 tonnes per annum lithium hydroxide facility as previously contemplated by the PEA
-
Operating fees up to date and benefited by the info collected during 2+ a long time of continual operation of the LiSTR Demonstration Plant in Union County, Arkansas and,
-
Entirely updated project economics employing revised upcoming pricing for lithium hydroxide made and shipped in North The usa.
