Just remember, disregard all the BS from the usual rampers.
This is from the horse's mouth:
Staged Approach to Development
Stage 1a
SC6 production via Dense Media Separation.
Simple technology, low power consumption producing up to 6.1% Li2O without the need for flotation.
Start up with CAPEX of ~US$320 M (~AUD$450M) for a 4.5 Mt/a capacity plant producing up to 700,000 t/a of SC6.0.
Stage 1b
Primary Lithium Sulphate production.
Simple technology, significant value add step.
Start up with CAPEX of ~US$179 M(~AUD$250M) for plant producing up to a 45.6 kt/a Primary Lithium Sulphate.
Stage 2
Add Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate Plant to Primary Lithium Sulphate.
This option requires research to determine economics and viability.
Study commenced with Tier 1 European Engineering company.
At this very moment AVZ is looking at financing and progressing with Stage 1a.
And don't forget the Tin.
