Lake Resources NL to process 5,000 litres of lithium brine samples ahead of Kachi test work

Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE) and Lilac Solutions are testing about 5,000 litres of replicate brine samples ahead of test work at its Kachi Lithium Brine Project in the Catamarca Province of Argentina.

Around 20,000 samples, which are being used to complete the commissioning of a Lilac Solutions pilot-scale ion exchange module, are being transported from Kachi and are expected to arrive in 10 days to the docks in Oakland, California.

In preparation for the arrival and testing of the Kachi brines, the company is testing replicate brine to ensure technology is consistent and fully functional.

The replicate samples are expected to produce very similar results as the initial Kachi brines and Lake and Lilac will report on the outcomes from this test work.

Deliveries of lithium carbonate samples to downstream groups are being planned to start the qualification process with off-takers.
