Sudbury’s consolation prize for missing out on the Ring of Fire ferrochrome smelter could be a lithium processing plant. Lepidico, an Australian lithium development company, is evaluating two industrial properties in Sudbury for a chemical plant that produces lithium carbonate, a key ingredient in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. The Brisbane-headquartered company is having plant design, engineering and baseline environmental work done at two undisclosed properties in preparation of a Phase One production plant. The 36,000-square-metre plant would produce 5,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate annually and provide employment for 70. The operation would be a hub of activity with lithium concentrate arriving in Sudbury by rail and truck from mining operations in Canada and overseas. The processed product would be exported to battery manufacturers in Asia. If the permitting and approvals process goes smoothly, the plant could be in production by 2020. Down the road, Lepidico is studying the construction of a 10,000-tonnes-per-year plant. The company is spending the reminder of this year and into 2019 working on a plant feasibility study, securing permits and sources of lithium supply, and raising financing for the plant, estimated last year to be US$45 million, but for a smaller plant. The location of the sites isn’t being disclosed pending the signing of commercial agreements. “It’s premature to say at this point,” said Joe Walsh, Lepidico’s managing director, who moved from Brisbane to Toronto this year where the company has set up a downtown office. According to company documents, the preferred property is a private industrial park that has all the power, water, gas and rail connections that the company wants. The property owner is working with Lepidico to see if they can tap into government funds to upgrade the power and gas connections. On financing for the plant, Walsh said other similar projects have been funded through a combination of pre-paid off-take (supply) agreements from battery manufacturers, government grants, and equity. Galaxy Resources, a $1.2 billion Australian-listed company, took a 12 per cent stake in Lepidico last year. The backbone of Lepidico’s growth strategy is a patented, home-grown technology, called L-Max, which extracts lithium from lithium-bearing hard rock called lepidolite. Lepidolite is in growing demand for conversion into lithium carbonate. Walsh said five or six years ago, the annual growth in the global lithium market was in single digits. There was no incentive to bring new production on stream. Lepidolite usually ended up on the mine waste pile. It was too difficult to process and filter out all the impurities. That’s all changed with the explosion in demand for minerals used in green-tech applications, like cobalt and lithium. The company had been running mini-mill tests of L-Max at their Brisbane offices and wanted to upscale into a demonstration-scale plant that was small enough to manage the risk but large enough to generate a return on investment. “The next stage is to secure sufficient mineral resources to be able to build a full-scale plant, which may be five to eight times bigger,” said Walsh. The plan is to have material feed for the plant coming from multiple sources through agreements with lithium miners in Canada and abroad. The company has a tentative off-take agreement with Grupo Mota, operators of the Alvarroes lepidolite mine in Portugal. Lepidico also struck an off-take agreement last year with Avalon Advanced Materials of Toronto. That company plans to build an open-pit lithium mine, north of Kenora at Separation Rapids. About 20 per cent of the resource there is lepidolite. Walsh said consideration was given to build the plant in Kenora, but logistics weren’t working in their favour. Sudbury has all the transportation, infrastructure and supply that they require. “The logistics are better in Sudbury than Kenora, and getting our products to market is more straightforward as well.” The Sudbury area also has an abundance of the consumables they need for the plant’s processing system, namely sulfuric acid and lime. He extended credit to the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines for introducing them to Ontario during an international trade mission. Ministry officials also identified potential plant sites for them. Walsh said their objective is to create a chemical plant that produces no waste. Their hydrometallurgical process produces saleable byproducts such as sodium silicate and sulphate of potash. One particular residue from the L-Max process is a white, powdery alkaline that may be suitable for landfill reclamation when mixed with biomass to allow vegetation to grow in acidic environments like Sudbury. The company is working with Knight Piesold Consulting, Laurentian University, and the City of Greater Sudbury on a commercial use for the residue. If that’s proven to be the case, the company can eliminate the need for a residue storage facility at the plant. “That would mean the only emission from the plant would be steam,” said Walsh. “It will be a very low emission facility producing a suite of green products. If we can make that residue a product, then there’s no waste.” An emailed response from the City of Greater Sudbury and its development corporation said the municipality has been working with Lepidico for almost a year but directed all queries on the development back to the company.

http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/203848/lepidico-advances-process-which-produces-lithium-carbonate-from-non-conventional-sources-203848.html Lepidico advances process which produces lithium carbonate from non-conventional sources Share  15:51 30 Aug 2018 A caesium-rich brine has been produced, which has applications in offshore oil and gas drilling.  L-Max® has been extensively tested in a continuous mini-plant. Lepidico Ltd (ASX:LPD) has made significant advances in the development of the L-Max® metallurgical process which produces lithium carbonate from non-conventional sources. Shares increased 13% to 2.6 cents on news of advances in the work carried out by Lepidico in collaboration with consultants Strategic Metallurgy and Knight Piésold. Caesium-rich brine produced Lepidico has concentrated caesium and rubidium into two separate products, including a caesium-rich brine, which has applications in offshore oil and gas drilling. The brine grading 32% caesium, 8% rubidium and less than 1% potassium has been produced from a lepidolite concentrate generated from the Alvarrões mine in Portugal. A mixed rubidium-potassium salt was also produced that graded 23% rubidium, 29% potassium and less than 1% caesium, which will be evaluated for its potential industrial application. Use in oil & gas sector Oil companies and oil service companies use caesium brine – a high specific gravity, stable fluid at normal operating temperatures. It increases well productivity, reduces drilling and completion costs, and provides a safe, non-corrosive and environmentally acceptable solution in well development and completion that eliminates the risks involved in handling heavy bromide brines. Lepidico is pursuing commercial alternatives in relation to a caesium brine by-product sourced from lepidolite. Further test work is planned with the objective of producing a marketable quality caesium brine, while also refining the associated process circuit. Amorphous silica generated Test work has also demonstrated that S-MaxTMgenerated amorphous silica materially increases the compressive strength of concrete when added as a partial cement replacement. Tests conducted by Strategic Metallurgy resulted in a significant increase in concrete compressive strength of up to 30% when the L-Max® residue replaced 10% of the Ordinary Portland Cement and after curing for about 20 days. Feasibility study for phase I plant Further product development work is planned over the rest of 2018 with the objective of integrating outcomes into the closing stages of the phase I L-Max® Plant feasibility study. Production of amorphous silica from the planned plant will simplify the process flowsheet versus the pre-feasibility study, which assumed the production of sodium silicate. The associated operating cost and capital cost savings are expected to be offset by lower revenue and are planned to be incorporated into the feasibility study. Market study underway A market study is underway for the sale of amorphous silica from the plant and the company is pursuing commercial alternatives in this regard. Trials will also start next month for the use of L-Max® residue as a land reclamation product, following receipt of positive material characterisation tests. The three-month research collaboration will involve the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Waterloo in Ontario and Knight Piésold Ltd.
