Hi Born ....I am not sure about RIO wanting Altura’s intellectual property ...my understanding is the Jadar deposit requires a completely different technology to extract the lithium (as it is lithium borate), and, on top of everything else it does, RIO - for several years- has had teams of brilliant minds harnessed in ‘think tank workshops’ to brainstorm solutions for the problems with Jadar and more ....
But James Brown has mentioned Altura’s proprietary silicon screening technology which seems to be a very valuable piece(?) of OEM equipment given repeated company references to the positive customer feedback on the purity of Altura product.
I have been wondering if selling the rights to use this technology in other mines could be an extra income earner for Altura .
(Maybe it could even have an ongoing percentage fee of tonnes of ore processed)
