Alberta lithium developer and extraction technology innovator E3 Lithium on Wednesday announced that it had successfully produced lithium carbonate – the last major step in a conventional process before conversion to battery-quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM). The test work used concentrate generated from brines located in E3’s Clearwater project area, produced during the direct lithium extraction (DLE) testing completed in preparation for the pilot plant.

E3 Lithium has engaged a major lithium refining technology and equipment vendor to develop the downstream lithium production processes in preparation for the upcoming prefeasibility study. The testing was conducted to treat a sample of concentrate, or eluate, produced by DLE technology. As the pilot plant produces more concentrate, E3 will be creating more carbonate and LHM for commercial development purposes.

Lithium mining is dominated by small and mid-sized firms in Australia, the world’s No.1 producer of the critical electric vehicle battery ingredient. Previously unknown companies have soared in value after striking large deposits of lithium-bearing spodumene, mainly in Western Australia, while others have sputtered on uncertainty. The sector’s shares offer some of the most volatile returns on the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
