    Esmeralda Minerals LLC, a subsidiary of Pure Energy Minerals Limited (TSXV:PE) (OTCQB: HMGLF) reports that the Department of Energy (DOE) has released the remaining funding for the company’s collaboration with research and innovation center SRI International. The collaboration is intended to develop novel cost-effective methods for lithium extraction from geothermal brines.
    According to the press release:
     

    Nitto Innovations Inc. (NII), a US subsidiary of the Japanese diversified materials manufacturer Nitto Denko Corporation, has also joined the project.
    Jointly funded by the DOE and the partners, SRI has teamed with Esmeralda Minerals LLC and NII to develop, validate and commercialize a new generation of highly selective ion exchange resins to separate metals, including lithium, from geothermal fluids more efficiently and at lower cost than current processes. The research is being conducted using lithium-enriched brines collected from the Company’s lithium brine project in Clayton Valley, Nevada and release of these funds allows expanded testing using Esmeralda’s resources.
    Robert Mintak, Pure Energy CEO, commented, “We are delighted with the positive announcement from the DOE to release the remaining funding. The addition of Nitto Innovations Inc. will help unlock the potential commercialization opportunities that may exist for this technology.”
