MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE: XMG / FKT: 1MG / OTCQB: MGXMF) is pleased to announce the engagement of Quantec Geoscience (“Quantec”) to complete a Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey on the Salinitas lithium brine project (the “Project”) in the Salinas Grande Salar of northwest Argentina. MGX has partnered with A.I.S. Resources (TSX.V: AIS) on the Project and is currently earning an 80% interest. The TDEM geophysical survey will be conducted along 52 stations spaced in 500 meter intervals across the edge of the salar to test for shallow, near surface brines to determine locations with anomalous concentrations of lithium. read more

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
