Ann: Positive Results Obtained in Phase 1 Metallurgical Test Work, page-27

• "An aggressive exploration schedule will now commence, allowing Anson to fast track the progression of the ULI Project" ASX 23/3/17
• "The project has also shown potential for additional high grade by products – Bromine, Boron, Iodine and Magnesium."

So the good news is that not only can the company reduce the Magnesium level to battery grade levels of 10 ppm , they can also sell the Magnesium by product!

• "The result of the test work conducted has been that the magnesium has been removed to a battery grade level (<10ppm). The magnesium reduction was achieved with only the lithium loss less than 3%."

Further cost saving for the company is that the Lithium Brine is naturally heated to 60 degrees celsius.

• "Test work carried out at 40-500C, while brines in the Project area are at 600C. This indicates that Anson’s ULI Project may not require additional energy costs
  associated with heating the brine before processing."
• "The brines are under pressure and at a higher temperature than would be expected (1400 F). This has resulted in the brines flowing to the surface when intersected by historic drill holes."
  
  And the best part of all is the time they will now save by not having to use evaporation ponds and therefore get the Lithium product to market so much faster than competitors can!
  
  "In addition, by using a processing plant and avoiding the use of evaporation ponds, processing is reduced to hours compared to multiple months using traditional evaporation and processing techniques."

"Brine, typically carrying 200–1,400 milligrams per liter of lithium, is pumped to the surface and concentrated by evaporation in a succession of ponds, each in the chain having a greater lithium concentration. After 9-12 months, depending on climate, a concentrate of 1 to 2 percent lithium is further processed in a chemical plant to yield various end products, such as lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide."

Expect to see multiple announcements over coming weeks on the ULI Lithium Brine Project as company fast tracks development!

1. "Further confirmatory test work will be carried out over the coming weeks."

Can't wait for the announcement that Tesla have signed an off take agreement down the track.....
