    IMHO


    The Presentation states “ 3-4 months for 2,500 tonnes of product” from the Direct Lithium Extraction.

    64687425


    Lilac have previously informed that the pilot plant DLE process production on Kachi brine resulted in 3000 mg/L Lithium


    64683221

    https://lilacsolutions.com/2018/10/phase-1-engineering-works-confirm-high-lithium-recoveries-at-kachi/


    Assume a kg of product is about a 1 litre


    2500t = 2500000 litres of product in 3-4 months


    3000 mg x 2500000 = 7500000000 mg ( 7500 kg) of Lithium


    Conversion of Lithium to Lithium Carbonate is 5.323

    https://panasiametals.com/conversion-tables/


    Lithium Carbonate = 5.323 x 7500 = 39922 kg (39.92 t) in 3-4 months.


    Demo Plant DLE Process Product Output Per Annum = 12/3.5 x 39.92t = 136.8 tpa ( without considering losses post DLE)


    Perhaps there’s 10% losses post DLE product to Lithium Carbonate.


    0.9 x 136.8 tpa = 123.1 tpa Lithium Carbonate


    IMHO to achieve DFS target of 25500 tpa of Lithium Carbonate the DFS plant would need 25500/123.1 = 207


    207 Demonstration Plant DLE Processors to achieve 25500 tpa.


    Or


    406 Demonstration Plant DLE Processors to achieve 50000 tpa.


    But please make sure you do your own research and absolutely don’t make any investment decision due to the above; as it’s based upon information sourced from Lake and Lilac.

    Looking forward to seeing all your calculations with references.
