The project is now on track to move from its pilot phase into commercial-scale development, which will make it the first lithium brine project in South America to produce lithium at commercial scale without the use of evaporation ponds for lithium concentration.This is the first successful implementation of ion exchange for lithium production in South America, home to most of the world’s lithium brine resources.The 2,500 kg of LCEs was extracted at Kachi with … 1,000x less land compared with evaporation ponds, and 10x less water compared with conventional aluminum-based absorbents.In a joint statement from Lilac and Lake Resources, the two company CEOs commented:Today, we’ve proven that it is possible to produce high-purity lithium faster and without evaporation ponds – all while protecting surrounding communities and ecosystems.
