Ann: 1st Production of Lithium Carbonate - Maricunga, page-7

Not bad for a first sample, I would have preferred to see 99.5% as a minimum and the calcium level of 131 is still above the targeted level of 100ppm. The statement says "Optimization for lower impurities such as calcium will continue, a process which is considered to be easily achievable." My question is if it was easily achievable, why wasn't it achieved first before putting out this sample. Looks like the market likes it, but I believe they will have to improve upon these results if they are to be regarded a tier 1 resource. I will have to do some more research and see what battery grade carbonate the other current producers are getting from brine.
