Timeline it:
*April 21, 2022:
"moving forward from the Company's DLE lab-pilot prototype which has delivered successful results of up to 97% lithium recovery across multi-cycle testing."
( we now know 2023 KPI target is 80%. Chris said that is industry standard)
*Aug 23rd, 2022 43-101 Pg 51:
"In addition, the sorbent’s performance has been consistent from batch testing to flow column testing"
*May 16th, 2023:
"E3 will also conduct a pre-pilot reservoir test that will add to our understanding...."
*Aug. 23rd, 2023:
"The testing was conducted to treat a sample of concentrate, or eluate, produced by DLE technology.
“Producing high quality carbonate from our Leduc brines with a major equipment vendor is an incredibly exciting milestone for the Company,“
*Aug. 29th, 3023:
"Each DLE system has demonstrated it is operating as expected based on the performance metrics established during pre-pilot testing."
"E3 Lithium will provide updates as operations progress and will share results, measured against its previously outlined Key Performance Indicators, as they become available."
Per Chris, the recovery is 10 minutes. KPI's only include concentrate quality & do not include Lithium Hydroxide product.
KPI data pre-hydroxide, could come much sooner than expected, is my bet.
