Noram is actively conducting a series of chloride-based leaching tests to extract lithium from Zeus claystone material. Noram has contracted Activation Laboratories Inc. ("ALS"), of Ancaster, Ontario for this series of tests. A second round of experiments has yielded up to 1230 ppm lithium into solution using moderate HCl and halide concentrations and moderate temperatures, for up to two hours. As the original sample has 1290 ppm lithium, this means that up to 95% of the lithium goes into solution. These values are significantly higher than those of the sulfate-based experiments conducted by Noram in 2018. Noram and Actlabs will continue to optimize the leaching process with further carefully controlled and documented experiments through first quarter of 2021. These will provide guidance for detailed chemical engineering studies to be incorporated in a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), with a goal of completing the PEA in 2021.
