"Saltworks will design, build, and commission a wellhead connected, continuous flow Demo Plant located in Saskatchewan to process ten (10) m3 / day of raw lithium brine into refined and concentrated lithium chloride ("CLC"). Saltworks will also upgrade its already established lithium conversion plant located in Richmond BC to continuously process CLC into lithium carbonate."

"EMP and Saltworks share the objective of driving down costs, simplification, and leveraging the best available and most economic technology while optimizing a complete lithium system, from well to battery chemical. The Project Aurora Demo Plant will establish, test, and optimize a wellhead connected, continuous flow, modular Hub and Spoke lithium extraction and refining model. The on-site program aims to unlock performance improvements & cost savings while de-risking future investments. Included within Project Aurora, Saltworks will advance full-scale plant design and cost estimates for a 3,000+ tonne per year modular, repeatable commercial refinery for EMP Metals utilizing data and insights from the Demo Plant Project."
Very interesting, but a bit confusing. Saltworks states on their website that they are not a DLE tech, they do downstream refining into battery grade (they produced AZL's battery grade lithium carbonate). But it says in the above article it will be a wellhead connected raw brine processing into lithium chloride (aka DLE).
Whatever brings costs down for SK brine.
