LIT has applying hydrometallurgical process, "The Sileach Process", for the recovery of lithium from spodumene. Sileach technology has demonstrated lithium extractions from alpha-spodumene.

This technology is the best hydrometallurgical process in current environment.

Key features of the Sileach™ hydrometallurgical process include:
Universal leaching process for Li ores such as spodumene, micas, jadarite and clays
Low energy, no roasting required
low cost
Low temperature / atmospheric pressure
Rapid reaction times

Sileach™ represents a mine-gate-to-consumer solution. A hydrometallurgical process ideally suited to the processing of spodumene, micas and off-specification lithium mineral concentrates, it produces high-purity lithium chemicals (hydroxide or carbonate) at a significant cost advantage compared to existing production.

Sileach™ has inherent advantages over processes involving roasting and leaching in that: processing occurs at atmospheric pressure; energy input is significantly lower; the carbon footprint is small; recovery from most lithium minerals is high, and extensive by-product credits are possible.

LIT currently has very valuable assets and the best processing technology, even has L-Max® exclusive processing rights for use in Western Australia (WA) and two projects internationally.
However, L-Max cannot process spodumene, L-Max is only applicable for Mica.

LIT is developing corporate alliances to supply feed to regional processing hubs. The first alliance was signed with Pilbara Minerals in 2017.
To implement this strategy, LIT has taken strategic project positions in the following locations:

Pilgangoora
Ravensthorpe
Coolgardie/Kalgoorlie
Lake Seabrook
Lake Johnston
the Gascoyne
Greenbushes
the Northern Territory
Cape York, Queensland
