Upcoming Lithium Demonstration Project In Phoenix, Arizona
PHOENIX, AZ - PetroSun, Inc. announced a demonstration project in Phoenix, Arizona that is expected to extract lithium from raw ore taken from the Company's mining concessions in northern Mexico using its patented and exclusively licensed lithium separation technologies. The Company also provided an update regarding its developmental drilling activities relating to helium targets in the Holbrook Basin of Arizona and the Golden Eagle Gas Field of Utah.
The lithium processing demonstration project announced by the Company will utilize a prototype processing train designed to extract lithium and other elements from raw ore using the Company's patented and licensed technologies. The project will be set up in Phoenix, Arizona, and demonstrations are expected to commence in the spring of 2022. The demonstration project is expected to extract lithium from raw ore from the Company's Mexican concessions and from brine water from U.S. sources.
President Gordon M. LeBlanc, Jr., said, "The demonstration project represents the culmination of years of investment by the Company in leading-edge technologies, which we expect to apply to our portfolio of lithium projects, among other potential uses. We expect the Company's patented, owned and licensed technologies to allow the extraction of lithium and rare metals at a lower cost and using less water than comparable processes. Moreover, our planned extraction facilities are modular and mobile, providing the Company with flexibility to deploy the technology to address diverse opportunities."
