Executive Summary
This NI 43-101 Technical Report Update on Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Tolillar Project, dated August 10, 2023, provides a detailed overview of the recovery methods employed in the project’s processing plan. The document focuses heavily on the hydrometallurgical processes required to extract lithium from the ore, specifically detailing the chemical reactions involved in impurity removal and lithium recovery.
The text outlines a series of chemical equations that govern the separation of magnesium, calcium, and lithium. Key processes include the precipitation of magnesium hydroxide using sodium hydroxide, the precipitation of calcium carbonate using sodium carbonate, and the subsequent recovery of lithium carbonate. The process also involves the conversion of lithium carbonate to lithium sulfate and lithium bicarbonate, indicating a complex chemical processing circuit designed to maximize lithium purity and recovery rates.
While specific operational metrics such as throughput and mine life are not detailed in this specific chapter excerpt, the focus on recovery chemistry suggests a well-defined hydrometallurgical approach. This section serves as a critical component of the technical report, validating the feasibility of the proposed processing route for the Tolillar Project’s lithium resources.
