- Infinity Lithium (ASX:INF) completes comprehensive locked cycle test work at Simulus Group Laboratories for its San José project
- The LCT program confirmed lithium recoveries of up to 90 per cent from prior Li-Stream RPK process test work and from recent lock cycle simulations
- These results provide additional data for further optimisation to be incorporated into the next stage of Li-Stream RPK process development
- Looking ahead, the company is evaluating the next steps for establishing a demonstration plant to confirm it can increase the scale of production at San José
- INF shares are up 7.14 per cent, trading at 7.5 cents at 12:47 pm AEDT
Infinity Lithium (ASX:INF) has completed comprehensive locked cycle test work at Simulus Group Laboratories, confirming exceptional lithium recoveries for its San José project.
The LCT program confirmed high recoveries from prior Li-Stream RPK process test work achieving up to 90 per cent lithium extraction.
This data will be used to further optimise the Li-Stream RPK process in its next development stage.
Led by the Infinity GreenTech Technical Advisory Committee, the LCT program validated “key parameters” essential for success, according to INF Chief Technical Officer and Committee Chair Jon Starink.
“The program confirmed the results of process simulations and validated key parameters underpinning the technical and commercial feasibility of extraction of lithium from the San José material and provides a solid foundation for further engineering towards a DFS and the pilot plant design,” he said.
Simulating the complete process, the test work included recycle streams to assess the stability of mass flows.
These results solidify the Li-Stream RPK process as the optimal technical option for lithium recovery at San José, from run-of-mine (ROM) material to the final product.
Looking ahead, the company is evaluating the next steps for establishing a demonstration plant to confirm the scalability of production at San José.
INF shares were up 7.14 per cent, trading at 7.5 cents at 12:47 pm AEDT.
