one of the things I like about this stock is, straight from the website.
SiLeach® is an unparalleled processing environment that efficiently digests and recovers all
significant metal values from the minerals treated. Thus, it can be applied to a wide range of lithium feedstock, with low energy consumption, high metal recoveries and extensive by-product credits.
Further, SiLeach® has applications beyond the recovery of lithium from silicates. It has, for example, been tested on refractory gold ores to remove siliceous gangue material from the ore prior to cyanide recovery of gold. Therefore, SiLeach® could well become the benchmark for extraction of a wide range of metals from silicates.
Also unlike conventional processing,
all
metals within the target minerals are soluble in SiLeach
®, creating the opportunity to generate significant by-product credits.
the process is being used for lithium at present, it has the ability to be use for other mineralised metals, therefore it carries an inherent de-risk if there is alternate disruption to the lithium market,
