TORONTO, April 17, 2017 /CNW/ - LSC Lithium Corporation (the "Company" or "LSC") (TSXV: LSC) is pleased to report the recent announcement made by our strategic partner, Enirgi Group Corporation ("Enirgi Group"), on the completion of major construction works and successful commissioning of the first section (the "Separation Plant") of its commercial scale demonstration lithium carbonate processing plant (the "DXP Plant"). The DXP Plant is located at Enirgi Group's lithium project at the Salar del Rincón in Salta, Argentina.
LSC's large portfolio of properties are in close proximity to Enirgi Group's planned DXP Plant. LSC and Enirgi Group are strategically cooperating on lithium development in Northern Argentina pursuant to a Relationship Agreement whereby, among other things, the parties will examine the most economic solution to process LSC's brines which may include supplying LSC's brines for processing at Enirgi Group's planned facility.
Should the economic viability and technical feasibility of the Company's project be established and it proceeds to production, LSC will have exclusive access to provide third party brines for processing at Enirgi Groups planned processing facility. LSC anticipates brine samples from the various LSC projects will be available for process analysis by Enirgi Group's Innovation Division and at the lithium processing facility.
Enirgi Group reported that following full commissioning, the DXP Plant will initially produce 1 metric tonne per day of battery grade lithium carbonate and that it expects to complete full commissioning of the DXP Plant by the end of May 2017.
