Cartier Iron Provides Update on Exploration Program at Big Easy Property, Newfoundland

Cartier Iron Corporation (CSE:CFE) (“Cartier Iron”), is pleased to announce the completion of line cutting and commencement of the 56-line kilometre Induced Polarization/Resistivity Survey (“IP/Res”) at the Big Easy Property (“Big Easy”) in Newfoundland. Big Easy is located approximately 20 kilometres (km) northwest of the town of Clarenville, about 200km northwest of St. John’s. MES Geophysics of St. John’s, contractor for the IP/Res survey, has completed the detailed lines with 25m dipole spacing over the original Big Easy showing area and is progressing well on the remainder of the grid which is being covered by 50m dipole spacing.  The IP/Res survey is designed to test the full 3.5 km strike length between the Big Easy and the ET showings to a depth of 200m to explore the full extent of the epithermal system. Historical diamond drill holes open to depth near the Big Easy showing offer the possibility that a downhole IP/Res survey may be used at a later date to extend the search volume even deeper. read more

Standard Lithium Provides Pilot Plant and Process Testing Update

V.SLL, Standard Lithium

Standard Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SLL) (OTCQX:STLHF) (FRA:S5L) is pleased to provide an update of the extensive process testing work and pilot plant design being performed by the Company’s Scientific Advisory Team.  The Scientific Advisory Team and other technology vendors have been testing raw lithium brines from Standard Lithium’s Projects in California and Arkansas using a new generation of lithium-selective sorbent technologies.  Data gathered from mini-pilot scale testing has demonstrated highly-effective separation of lithium from other cations in the raw brine, in line with previously published and peer-reviewed studies, and has also demonstrated that the solid sorbent materials can be simply made using standard commercial manufacturing processes.  Work has also been completed to test varying physical methods by which raw brine can be mixed with the lithium-selective material to optimise lithium removal.  Testing is ongoing and will be used in the full-scale pilot design (see below). read more
