Lake Resources NL Annual Report 2021

Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE) (FRA:LK1) (OTCMKTS:LLKKF) is well on the path to production of the world's highest purity lithium with significant ESG benefits from its flagship Kachi Project utilising new direct extraction technology, after a transformative year for the company.

Lake's aim is to produce:

  • World's highest purity lithium;
  • Using technology-led direct lithium extraction; with
  • Major ESG benefits; to become a
  • New independent clean producer - at scale.

A Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) covering the Kachi Project were commenced during the year, targeting completion in Q2, 2022. This followed a refreshed Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS). The high purity product was produced from a pilot plant in California, and then performed well in nickel rich NMC622 batteries with an independent third party, Novonix.

Post financial year-end, the company was successful in receiving strong expressions of interest from Export Credit Agencies in the UK and Canada (UKEF and EDC), to provide 70 percent of the total finance required for the Kachi Project as long dated, low cost debt. This finance would be triggered by the completion of the DFS and ESIA and a suitable offtake agreement.

A formal partnership was announced with Lake's technology provider, Lilac Solutions Inc, for technology and funding to develop the Kachi Project. Lilac Solutions will contribute technology, engineering teams, and an on-site demonstration plant, earning in to a maximum 25 percent stake in the Kachi project, based on performance-based milestones. Lilac will then be expected to fund approximately US$50 million, equivalent to its pro rata share of future development costs.

European Metals Receives US$36 Million Grant for Cinovec Lithium-Tin Project

European Metals Holdings (ASX:EMH,LSE:EMH,OTCQX:EMHXY) confirmed the approval of a US$36 million Just Transition Fund (JTF) grant for its Cinovec lithium-tin project on Monday (April 28).

The JTF is run by the European Commission, supporting projects that align with the economic diversification and reconversion of concerned territories such as Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

JTF states on its website that the number of supported projects varies annually, depending on the proposals. The grant also forms part of the European Union’s efforts to transition to clean energy and achieve climate goals.

Cinovec was chosen as it was designated as a strategic project under the Critical Raw Minerals Act in March, underlining its importance in Europe’s journey toward securing stable supply of critical raw minerals. It was also declared a strategic deposit by the Czech government, a designation that accelerates certain permitting processes.

"The grant funding will be utilised to fast track a number of critical path items with regards to the Cinovec Project,” commented European Metals Executive Chair Keith Coughlan in a press release. “This confirmation builds on recent project momentum and is another clear indicator of the support the European Union and the Czech government is willing to provide to assist in getting Cinovec into production in the timeliest manner possible."
