The drivers to change in the lithium industry Lithium Australia’s goal to establish low-cost, global lithium production Lithium Australia has developed disruptive processing technology for the recovery of lithium from hard-rock sources. Lithium Australia is the only company with the capability of pr
Slide 4: Lithium – what's it all about?
Lithium – what’s it all about? It’s about the biggest change in energy management since the industrial revolution The industrial revolution made beasts of burden almost obsolete and provided power to the factories that advanced civilization like no other change. The industrial revolution changed eve
Slide 5: Lithium chemicals originate from two sources – brines and hard rock
Lithium chemicals originate from two sources – brines and hard rock Lithium Brines Brine deposits in South America 2015 PRODUCTION BY DEPOSIT TYPE initially focused on the production of borates and potash however elevated lithium levels in the brines often makes them an attractive target for the pro
Slide 6: Feed is dominated by two countries
Feed is dominated by two countries A resurgence in hard-rock lithium production has recently seen such output eclipse that of brine production (mainly in Chile). New hard-rock 2015 global lithium production 33,860 tpa capacity has lower capital intensity than brine production, is quicker to bring on
Slide 7: Processing innovation creates a paradigm change
Processing innovation creates a paradigm change Froth flotation is widely considered to be the greatest invention to ever come out of the Antipodes. It took a brewer, a metallurgist, a mining engineer and others to turn the waste dumps of Broken Hill into ore and untold wealth. “Broken Hill led the
Slide 8: The plan
The plan Sustainability For long-term sustainability, lithium presently being discharged as waste needs to be recovered. The Sileach™ process may provide the key. Lithium Australia has focused on the processing of materials not conventionally used for the production of lithium chemicals (including m
Slide 9: The performance of the Sileach process
Aspirational statement The performance of the Sileach™ process The Sileach™ process is a halogen-based, hydrometallurgical process that has a number of advantages over the more conventional roast/leach processing route. The energy footprint is very low and all metals in the material being processed
Slide 10: Sileach ultimate processing solution
From alpha-spodumene to zinnwaldite Sileach™ ultimate processing solution Lithium bearing mineral species have a range of leach performances in sulphuric acid, from very reactive in the case of zinnwaldite, to completely unreactive in the case of spodumene. The lack of reactivity of the primary sour
Slide 11: Controlling processing technology – Sileach
Controlling processing technology – Sileach™ Sileach™ can rapidly digest any silicate mineral. Sulphur Sulphuric acid Electricity Reagents and slurries Steam Power co-generation Material discharge Acid plant Sileach™ is a halogen based digestion system processing occurs at atmospheric pressure;
Slide 12: The critical Sileach partnerships: De-risking commercialization
The critical Sileach™ partnerships De-risking commercialization Funding Lithium Australia has an active capital management program and invites all of its shareholders to participate. This has been fostered through the bonus issue of contributing shares and more recently with a Share Purchase Plan, w
Slide 13: Sileach achieves a world first
Sileach™ achieves a world first ANSTO Minerals successfully pilot test the Sileach™ process Continuous pilot plant operations commenced at ANSTO Minerals’ Lucas Heights facility in August 2016. On a planned 6 day run of the digestion circuit, very high plant availabilities were achieved and over 95%
Slide 14: Strategic positions in the global hot spots
Strategic positions in the global hot spots Lithium Australia has taken positions in many of the major lithium provinces around the globe. Numerous projects are being assessed in Western Australia and exploration has commenced in Mexico. Prospective regions have been identified in Europe and cratoni
