Nano One and Standard Lithium have collaborated to qualify lithium carbonate produced from Standard Lithium's South West Arkansas Project for use in LFP cathode active materials. The lithium carbonate was used by Nano One in its pilot plant to produce cathode material and battery test cells.
Standard Lithium's South West Arkansas Project pilot plant lithium carbonate was successfully used by Nano One to manufacture LFP cathode active material and battery cells. This provides technical validation of the project's flowsheet and product quality for North American battery applications.
Standard Lithium has reached major operational milestones at its Arkansas demonstration plant, including the processing of 1 million barrels of brine. The company also completed 15,000 Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) cycles using the process intended for its South West Arkansas Project.
Smackover Lithium has filed a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its South West Arkansas project, reporting 447,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in Proven Reserves. The project targets a production capacity of 22,500 tonnes of battery-quality lithium carbonate per annum with a 20.2% unlevered pre-tax IRR.
Smackover Lithium has announced positive results from a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its South West Arkansas project. The study highlights a 20.2% unlevered pre-tax IRR for an initial phase producing 22,500 tonnes per annum of battery-quality lithium carbonate, alongside an upgraded mineral resource.
