Interesting - they are proposing 24,400 tpa lithium hydroxide monohydrate. I will have to have a decent read of it but these caught my eye:

Page 39


Page 43

Doesn't look like large costs have been attributed to power, I agree based on the table you posted and I also cited, although there seems to be various power costs scattered throughout that document including the table above the one you kindly posted..

Finally, I found this also interesting in terms of the total project - page 6:


The 78 MW needs to be multiplied by hours (tied to production in a day) and then multiply that by 365 and a load factor. It does seem potentially a lot of power but not clear now how that has translated to power cost. Thanks for sharing and I will have a look at it further. And yes, for others I realise it is offtopic to LTR.

Certainly has tweaked my interest and will have a look at it further, Thanks for sharing.

As I got coonfused I decided also to look at what a MWh costs in Canada. Don't have exact figures but this article yabbers anywhere from US$40 - US$230 depending on source. Might imply in itself and based on teh figure you have arrived a MW usuage of at least 2 MW (or greater) per tonne hydroxide

Apologies to others as offtopic to the thread I know.

All IMO IMO

In terms of where I got my numbers from I was look at Tianqi and Nemaska, but in those posts I actually IMO overstated the load factors and 'hours used in a day' IMO for getting to MWh, hence I scaled back my initial thoughts to the current post in this thread (and now based on your post will need to have another think over a VB) - refer initial estimates here Post #:40107095
