Lake Resources (LKE) and its direct lithium extraction technology partner Lilac Solutions confirmed the on-time achievement of key milestones for the Kachi project in Argentina.
So far, Lilac has successfully operated the demonstration plant for over 1000 consecutive hours and produced 40,000 litres of lithium chloride eluate before the end of 2022.
Lake CEO and Managing Director David Dickson said the achievement of these milestones demonstrated the “significant promise” of Project Kachi.
“We are pleased with our accomplishments to date and are intently focused on the next stages of this project,” Mr Dickson said.
“Above all, we are proud of the work we and Lilac have achieved thus far to innovate the production of lithium in a way that is inclusive and respectful of the local communities in which we operate, and protective of the environment.”
