Lithium Prices Are Surging
Low-cost sedimentary extraction to take advantage
ARIZONA
LITHIUM
Industry leading sedimentary Lithium peer advantages
•
Shallow, low-cost mining
•
Low stripping ratio
•
Minimal requirement for crushing/grinding
•
Scale to support long mine life
Lithium mineralisation hosted by sediments deposited in a N-S
oriented basin
Lithium mineralised sediments, up to 50m in thickness are
covered by a thin veneer of transported colluvium (5-10m thick)
