RE:Pilot plantThe Company continues the assessment of lithium chemicals process and technology through its internal scoping study of various options (desktop, bench-scale and mini-pilot programs). A mini-pilot program is expected to deliver initial battery grade lithium hydroxide in the fall of 2021 that will display the resources potential and be used for marketing purposes. Final lithium chemical process selection will occur by the end of calendar 2021 and any final piloting required will subsequently take place to support the PFS. The company also continues the baseline environmental monitoring, including but not limited to, stream flow measurements, water quality sample collection, and weather station data collection.
