Allied Copper Corp. has announced that its lithium-focused division, Volt Lithium Corp. has confirmed the commencement of a pilot project to test its proprietary DLE process in a simulated commercial environment.
Volt intends to demonstrate its ability to extract lithium from oilfield brine in scale by processing up to 250 000 l of brine from its Rainbow Lake project in Northwest Alberta through 2Q23. Results from this Pilot Project are expected to be released by the company before the end of June 2023.
Alex Wylie, President of Allied and founder of Volt, comments:
“The start-up of the Pilot Project represents a significant milestone and positive step forward for the entire Volt team.
“Our objective is to achieve high lithium recoveries from oilfield brine in scale, while also generating compelling economics from the Pilot Project designed to demonstrate our ability to profitably recover lithium from oilfield brine.”
