RE:A little context for today's NRcontinued
@opmovers @geomean can i summarize that as: increase efficiency of future mining operations by salvaging 95% of spodumene ore removed from the ground? or would that be misleading?
@Geomean @opmovers a 6% spodumene concentrate solution is the post benefication commercial standard typically sold by miners to down stream processors who covert the solution into saleable lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide using traditional hydro metallurgy techniques. Achieving higher concentrations is a step in MGX’s ( $XMG ) efforts at commercialization of Dr James Blencoe’s patented thermo-chemical process to turn spodumene into Lithium Carbonate or lithium hydroxide. The idea is to do the downstream processing at the site of the mine, with modular processing equipment, processing a highly concentrated solution using less heat, CO2 and pure water, and at a fraction of the costs of other processing methods. If successful it would revolutionize the hard rock lithium space.
@opmovers @geomean less hands, more money, i like it.
