Ann: Appointment of Leading Global Engineer, page-4

I very much like SMS Group's involvement. Adds a lot of security and confidence to the whole project being cost effective (highly profitable) with their expertise in automation and their proven success over a long period of time with a multitude of projects. https://www.sms-group.com/

"Under the Agreement, SMS group will provide a complete Front-End Engineering Design (“FEED“) study as the major component of the ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS“) work at Cinovec."

"Under the Agreement, SMS will provide the following to the Cinovec Project:
• Full process integration from the point of delivery of ore to the underground crusher through to the delivery of finished battery-grade lithium chemicals for battery and cathode manufacturers.
• The FEED will include all of the process steps – comminution, beneficiation, roasting, leaching and purification.
• The FEED will encompass both the lithium process flowsheet and the tin/tungsten recovery circuit delivering metal concentrates to refineries.
• The FEED is intended to deliver a binding fixed price lump sum turnkey EPC contract with associated process guarantee and product specification guarantees for battery-grade lithium chemicals. The combination of these will greatly assist to underwrite project financing from leading European and global financial institutions lending into this new energy EV-led industrial revolution. "
