📰 #NEWS Sigma Lithium Corp. (Nasdaq:SGML) 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹 Canadian company Sigma Lithium has secured a $90 million loan from Brazil's BNDES to fund its second lithium concentrate plant in Brazil. Located in Minas Gerais, the facility will boost production from 270,000 to 520,000 tons annually. Construction is underway, with completion expected by summer 2025. The plant will use a waste-free, chemical-free, and emission-free process to convert spodumene ore into high-purity lithium concentrate. #lithium #rawmaterial #mineral #criticalmineral #funding #concentrate #lithiumconcentrate #spodumene #ore #lithiumcarbonate #lithiumhydroxide #LiOH

🔉 SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN PLANNED LITHIUM PRODUCTION We are pleased to announce a significant increase in the planned annual production of #lithium chemicals from the Cinovec Project: ✔️ Planned production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate increased by 42% to 41,658 tpa or 36,670 tpa of battery-grade lithium carbonate. ✔️ Planned run-of-mine ore production increased by 42% taking the Project production rate from 2.25 mtpa to 3.20 mtpa, without processing plant head grade, the Life of Mine or plant recovery being significantly impacted. ✔️ This planned increase in production enables the Project to benefit from significant economies of scale which will be confirmed in the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) now due for completion in mid-2025. This significant increase in planned lithium output will lead to additional recognition of how important the Cinovec Project is and the role the Project will play in enabling the #EU to reach its goals of lithium self-sufficiency by 2030! https://lnkd.in/dPVwszgb #lithium #mining #Cinovec #hardrocklithium #energytransition #EVbatteries European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) Keith Coughlan

Demand for sulphuric acid in northern Queensland’s minerals sector is expected to soar from current levels of about 1.23Mtpa to reach 2.86Mtpa to 5.23Mtpa by 2035, a newly released report shows. #mining #queensland

Froth flotation technology is the cornerstone of efficient and sustainable mining, crucial for maximizing recovery rates and ensuring high-quality metal concentrates during gold and copper production. Check out this video to see the process in action and discover the key chemicals that make it possible: Key Chemicals in Froth Flotation: 1️⃣ Sodium Ethyl Xanthate (SEX): Enhances hydrophobic properties of sulfide minerals, improving copper and gold recovery. 2️⃣ Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX): A selective collector for high-grade concentrates with fewer impurities. 3️⃣ Aerophine: Ideal for gold and silver, boosting recovery while minimizing gangue collection. 4️⃣ Pine Oil: Stabilizes bubbles for better froth quality, aiding the separation process. 5️⃣ Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX): A versatile collector balancing strength and selectivity for chalcopyrite and pyrite. Benefits of These Chemicals: Increased recovery rates of valuable metals High selectivity for premium-grade concentrates Reduced processing costs Environmentally friendly solutions Why These Chemicals Matter for Chalcopyrite Rocks: Chalcopyrite veins or rocks are vital sources of gold and copper. The above reagents are indispensable in reducing arsenic impurities, enhancing metal quality, and minimizing environmental impact during processing. These chemicals power sustainable mining, ensuring maximum yield and operational efficiency. #Mining #FrothFlotation #GoldProduction #CopperProduction #MineralProcessing #Sustainability #Innovation #Reagents #CopperConcentrate #GoldConcentrate #Chalcopyrite #ArsenicImpurities #Chemicals

Patriot Battery Metals (ASX:PMT) CEO Ken Brinsden says while the company is focused on advancing CV5 to production, it is important to look beyond and from the viewpoint of the end-user of the downstream product. https://buff.ly/3CZSWjc #miningnews #lithium #canada #asx #mining

Poseidon Nickel Limited (ASX:POS, OTC:PSDNF) has entered an agreement with Encore Minerals to develop the #gold and #nickel tailings at the Windarra Tailings Project in Western Australia using Draslovka’s proprietary glycine leaching technology (GLT).  Metallurgical test-work undertaken earlier this year to assess the potential of Draslovka's GlyCat Technology developed to extract minerals such as gold, #copper, #cobalt and nickel using amino acids to leach tailings and ores, confirmed a potential improvement in gold recoveries from the Lancefield gold tailings samples and the potential to also extract nickel from the Windarra nickel tailings.

We are pleased to provide an update on our 5-year strategy with a promising Scoping Study for High Purity #Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate (HPMSM) production for #EV #batteries: https://lnkd.in/gtqb2ZD4   Key takeaways from our recent HPMSM Scoping Study: - Planning for a 100ktpa production capacity of High Purity Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate, essential for EV batteries.   - Strong financial outlook: 25% IRR and US$2.2bn EBITDA over approximately 25 years, showcasing the project's viability.   - Leveraging our position as a leading manganese mining company with significant mineral inventory, promoting cost efficiency and sustainability.   - Initiating a pre-feasibility study in March 2024 to further refine our strategy and development, funded as part of our ongoing operations.   Our strategic approach and existing infrastructure position us uniquely for sustainable growth and innovation in the EV industry.  

Kingsland Minerals Limited (ASX:KNG) is proud to announce a significant milestone in the development of its Leliyn Graphite Project in the Northern Territory, marking a transformative year for the company. The recently completed maiden Mineral Resource Estimate has confirmed Leliyn as the largest graphite deposit in Australia, and one of the largest globally, with an inferred resource of over 194 million tonnes at 7.3% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC). This represents a significant achievement for Kingsland, further positioning the company as a key player in the global supply of critical minerals. Throughout the year, we also achieved substantial progress in metallurgical test work, with flotation tests producing graphite concentrates with grades exceeding 94% TGC and recoveries of over 80%. These excellent results demonstrate Leliyn's potential to produce high-quality graphite for the rapidly growing lithium-ion battery market. Importantly, the test work has laid the foundation for further optimization and a bulk sample to produce purified spherical graphite, a key precursor for battery anodes. Looking ahead, we have planned additional drilling to upgrade the inferred resources and advance metallurgical testing to further refine our processing capabilities. These efforts will culminate in a scoping study to assess the economic viability of establishing a flake graphite production facility in the Northern Territory, marking a major step forward for the project. We extend our gratitude to our shareholders for their unwavering support during these challenging market conditions. With Leliyn’s excellent growth prospects and Kingsland’s strong position in the critical minerals space, we are excited to continue unlocking value for all stakeholders in the year ahead.

A new report by The Wilson Center argues that North America cannot meet its needs for energy transition metals from domestic mines, and that the establishment of local infrastructure to process polymetallic nodules could provide an abundant and secure source of nickel, cobalt and other key metals. With only 10% and 30% of existing global primary processing and secondary refining infrastructure for nickel located in countries with which the U.S. has an FTA respectively, local nodule processing could make final products more directly accessible to consumers, and could strengthen the growing EV battery industry. For this reason, TMC has prioritised primary nodule processing in Japan, and subsequent refining in U.S. Hatch #deepseamining #criticalminerals #energytransition #nickel #cobalt #batteries #supplychain #refining https://lnkd.in/ecd5vh86

📍Blesberg lithium mine operations can also process #tungsten ore and NCLT Project materials, paving the way for production of high-grade tungsten concentrates in 2025 ⏳#MARU is in discussions with the TOMRA team in South Africa on how best to utilise the TOMRA XRT Ore Sorter, which will be installed and commissioned on site, to also treat the tungsten ores from the NCLT Project, as well as the #lithium and #tantalum ores from Blesberg #SouthAfrica #BlesbergMine #Batterymetals
