CleanTech Lithium PLC - Chile-focused exploration and development company - Says Laguna Verde pre-feasibility study produced lithium carbonate with purities of up to 99.75%. Says the results provide further validation of the proposed route from Laguna Verde brine through direct lithium extraction, purification and concentration to final lithium carbonate. Key direct lithium extraction adsorption parameters, including lithium adsorption yield and adsorption capacity, exceeded pre-feasibility design benchmarks, supporting the planned 15,000 tonnes per annum production capacity. Chief Executive Ignacio Mehech says the results are "highly encouraging" and provide the company with "clear engineering improvements". Read More
