VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2021 / Medaro Mining Corp. (CSE:MEDA) ("Medaro" or the "Company"), together with its joint venture partner, Global Lithium Extraction Technologies Inc., is pleased to announce the commencement of work to develop and commercialize a set of new, low-cost processes (the "Technology") to extract lithium from spodumene concentrate.
The key focus of the joint venture (the "JV") at this stage is risk reduction in process reactions, which the JV intends to address through bench-scale laboratory testing and the construction of piping and instrumentation diagrams ("P&IDs") for several of the key processes identified. The laboratory work will provide experimental data on reaction kinetics and product yields to assist in the construction of the P&IDs. With these finalized P&IDs, and accompanying equipment layout drawings and specifications, the JV will be one-step closer to fully developing and commercializing the Technology.
Over the course of the next two to three months, the JV will be working on: (i) securing a laboratory facility for the further development of the Technology; (ii) purchasing commercially available testing equipment; (iii) custom designing and fabricating other small equipment required for the planned test work; and (iv) performing test tube-scale experiments on the Technology. The experimental data will then be analyzed and peer reviewed to determine the commercial efficacy of the Technology. In the coming weeks, Medaro also intends to complete its initial earn-in to the JV. For further information respecting the JV and the initial earn-in, please see the Company's news release dated June 30, 2021.
Hugh Maddin, the Company's CEO notes, "While we are excited about the commencement of our Phase 1 exploration work program on our Superb Lake Lithium Property located in Ontario, we are equally as excited to commence work on this technology, which could, if successfully tested and proven out, be a potential game-changer in the lithium mining industry."
On Behalf of the Board of Directors
