Description
Petalite is a lithium aluminium silicate similar to spodumene,
which studies have shown can be processed via conventional,
commercially-proven methods.
This means that petalite and spodumene deposits have a lower
development and/or environmental risks than unconventional lithium
sources such as lepidolite/zinnwaldite (lithium mica) or
clay-hosted deposits, the former of which contains
flourine
Interim metallurgical testwork results indicate an ultra-low
impurity petalite concentrate, grading 4.4% Li2O and 0.*1% Fe2O3,
can be produced from our material
This meets Technical Grade lithium concentrate specifications,
which command a premium over Chemical Grade products due to their
low impurities
