Summary
Fulcrum Lithium Ltd has reported positive results from their Alkali Flats project in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The metallurgical testing for lithium extraction from claystones demonstrated high recovery rates, with up to 96% lithium recovery within 7 days through mini-column acid cured leach tests. The program also successfully tested low-cost heap leaching and calcination roasting processes. Alcohol screening and hydrocyclone testing showed improvements in mass reduction, carbonate removal, and grade increase. This scoping program lays a foundation for further detailed metallurgical work as the company progresses with its Phase 3 drilling program.
