The
process
Extensive work has gone into designing the most efficient and cost-effective processing route for producing lithium hydroxide from ore. We use non-toxic additives and our low-waste process is designed to ensure that as much as possible of what comes out can be used commercially to support local industries.

Processing
We plan to adopt Metso’s alkaline leach process, which offers lower energy consumption and reduced waste production compared to traditional sulphation roasting methods; testwork aimed at optimising and refining the process is ongoing.
