Rincon @ 7 - 8 : 1 Mg/Li is borderline economic and especially when paired with the relatively lower Li concentrations and high SO4 content.
Any easy way to look at how these results stack up is if you do a comparison to the other producing/advanced stage brines out there. Rincon impurity levels are high especially given the other projects are compensated with essentially double the concentrations of Li.
Li mg/l = 3Q 716, Sal de Vida 810, Olaroz 625, Atacama 1,835, Maricunga 1,248, Fenix 787
Mg/Li = 3Q 2, Sal de Vida 2.4, Olaroz 2.4, Atacama 6.4, Maricunga 6.6, Fenix 1.4
Then add in the outrageously high SO4/Li ratios of 55 - 70 : 1 (which management conveniently chose to stay quiet on) and you are looking at an asset which is sitting at the bottom of the rankings and far far higher up the cost curve.
SO4/Li = 3Q 0.5, Sal de Vida 12, Olaroz 29, Atacama 11, Maricunga 0.5, Fenix 14
Lower Li concentrations, Higher Mg/Li ratios, Higher SO4/Li ratios7
