Noram Lithium (NRM) has started a new round of testing on mineralized samples from its Zeus Lithium Project in Nevada.
The proposed new process for the project has been refined for lithium carbonate recovery that is based on commercially proven technology. The company anticipates the new results will confirm its ability to recover high-purity lithium carbonate from the project.
Test work is currently underway and is initially testing material feed preparation, leaching, neutralization, and filtration processes. Noram Lithium expects that some testing will also be done on lithium solutions to produce battery-quality lithium carbonate.
The results of the test work will validate metallurgical models and energy balances and complete a pre-feasibility study for the project.
Additionally, Noram Lithium shared it has employed Kemetco Research, a private science technology innovation company. Kemetco Research will carry out further metallurgical test work to confirm and refine the process design.
CEO Greg McCunn met with Coreena Robertson to discuss the news.
“The team at Kemetco, in conjunction with our metallurgical consultant, have designed a robust test work program to further de-risk the project.”
Shortly after completing a phase six drill program, the company collected samples from the Zeus drill core and shipped them to a lab for testing. The company has completed various testing since that time, including sulphuric and hydrochloric acid leaching, impurity removal, and solid-liquid separation tests.
