From last PR
I asked Frank to clarify a question in regards to their last PR
What was the reason for testing other extraction technologies?
From the last PR
The first stage of the mandate given to Dundee Sustainable Technologies (CSE:DST) was to characterize the material from the Bonnie Claire Lithium Property - provided by Iconic Minerals Ltd (TSX-V: ICM) - and to test it using currently knowns extraction techniques, commercially deployed or known in the public domain from academic research.
His response:
One of the caveats of our agreement with ICM was that we had to compare our economics(SX tech) with all other potentially economical tech out there.
If one would be better financially we had to yield and help them adopt it as advisors. This being specific to Bonnie Claire. None were.
Even the one many shareholders mention in emails to me which is the water separation that separated up to 70% of the lithium.The grade of purity was not good and early leaching in the process precipitated iron,MG and other contaminants that would need to be separated at great costs.
