Western Lithium Announces Continuation of Optimization Studies with Tenova Bateman Technologies

Western Lithium USA Corporation (TSX:WLC) announced the continuation of its optimization studies with Tenova Bateman Technologies for the completion of an engineering study for Western Lithium’s Nevada lithium deposit.

As quoted in the press release,

Bateman has developed an advanced solvent extraction technology known as the LiSX™ process that is designed to efficiently separate and concentrate lithium from brines and chemical streams.  In 2010, Western Lithium engaged Bateman to conduct bench-scale testing of the LiSX™ process on lithium-enriched brine simulating Western Lithium’s Nevada deposit. The test produced saturated lithium brine concentrates of >99.9% purity.

Western Lithium’s CEO, Jay Chmelauskas stated:

It is our core value to always be on the look out for leading technologies in our business. By combining technological innovation with our large concentration of lithium molecules at our property in Nevada, we have the potential to supply multiple, large scale lithium-ion battery facilities around the globe with state-of-the-art products.
