From the TSI report:
As is the case with most commodities, offtake negotiations with reputable partners are not meaningful until metallurgical testwork is complete and samples production-tested. And it's potentially even more important for lithium brine projects, given that so few have produced lithium carbonate (LPI estimate – less than six).
Lithium Power's samples are likely to be sent to potential offtake partners, at which point negotiations may intensify. There is also the possibilty other potential offtake partners or corporate parties may emerge from the woodwork as well and request a sample.
Further information from the company regarding potential offtake negotiations is probable in the near future. Before then, however, Lithium Power will submit its environmental impact assessment. Given the eventual surface area that Maricunga will cover, as well as its location, the importance of this assessment cannot be underestimated. We're pleased that the company is using tier-1 environmental consultancy MWH, which has extensive experience within the project area.
