"Pure Energy, in conjunction with Tenova Advanced Technology and SUEZ, formerly General Electric Water and Process Technologies, has developed a pilot plant to process lithium brines using the new solvent extraction technology. Production of the Lithium will be completed in a 48-hour process with much less waste and a substantial increase of recovery rates from around 40% with conventional evaporation to near 90%."
"Pure Energy now plans to construct a continuous process pilot plant to be located near the town of Silver Peak. If the pilot plant trial is successful and the process is verified, they can develop detailed engineering and designs and a full-size plant will be constructed. It would be the first-of-its-kind commercial plant and would be built to produce about 12,600 tons per year of high purity lithium hydroxide from a well-head brine source averaging only 123 milligrams of lithium per liter of water."

Pure Energy is only a stones throw from RLC's BSS project. Some heavy hitters involved. I wouldn't be surprised if Geof has had interest from the likes of these companies looking to partner. If he is truly confident in CSM drilling he will wait til after results are in. Exciting few months coming up.
