Lithium
I wonder if there has been any thought to recovering the lithium that is present in the tailings stream? Previous studies have shown levels of 119 to 139 ppm, which is roughly double what E3 Lithium is dealing with in their DLE pilot plant further south in the Leduc aquifer. DLE has been much more heavily researched and piloted over the past couple of years, and the tech is on the verge of widespread commercialization. It would certainly be an additional boon to CVW to add this to the menu of recoverables. It could be immensely profitable, even if they have to licence the tech from someone else.
