Energy Revolution: Closing the Loop on the Energy Metal Cycle
The Energy Revolution has arrived...and Lithium Australia are disrupting the industry to power it.
Lithium Australia is paving the way towards closing the loop on the energy metal cycle. Join us on June 26 as Adrian Griffin, Managing Director of Lithium Australia provides his unique insight on closing the loop and how Lithium Australia, with lithium set to become WA's next boom metal, has strategically transformed into an end to end lithium business through advanced manufacturing techniques such as the SiLeach® process.
About Guest Speaker
Adrian Griffin is Managing Director atLithium Australia.
Having spent more than 40 years in mining, Mr Griffin’s expertise ranges from project identification, development and financing to overseeing the operation of integrated mining and processing facilities. His substantial international experience includes diamond exploration and production and being a founder and technical director of Ferrum Crescent, an iron-ore developer in South Africa.
Mr Griffin was also a founding director of Northern Minerals and Parkway Minerals (developer of the K-Max™ process to recover potassium and other metals from glauconite) and is a non-executive director of Reedy Lagoon Corporation. Most recently, he has been instrumental in identifying the global opportunity to establish lithium micas as a source feed for the lithium chemical industry.
About Lithium Australia
Lithium Australia is an Australia-based company, engaged in the project acquisition, mineral exploration and process development of lithium.
Lithium Australia has one over-arching goal: the application of its disruptive process technologies to the production of lithium chemicals on a commercial scale and at an operating cost in the lowest quartile: To achieve its end, Lithium Australia is:
- procuring access to feed materials with low exposure to mining costs;
- processing materials considered waste by other operators;
- developing strong strategic partnerships; and
- maintaining equity in resource projects globally.
Aside from processing ore rejected as waste by other mining operations, Lithium Australia's disruptive extraction technologies could be part of the solution to battery recycling, in that stockpiles of discarded electronic / battery waste may actually be the best and cheapest source of essential energy metals that have already been mined and concentrated to manufacture lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium Australia is the sole owner of the SiLeach® process, a hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of metals such as lithium from silicates. The process provides a cost-effective alternative to common extraction techniques. The technology being used not only has a small energy footprint but also leads to valuable by-product credits. This combination makes the extraction of lithium from a wide range of lithium silicates, competitive with the lowest cost lithium producers.
Lithium Australia has operations in Western Australia, at Ravensthorpe, Pilbara, Goldsfields, Seabrook, Greenbushes, Gascoyne, Lake Johnston and Colabark. Lithium Australia also has exploration properties in Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland, Mexico and Germany
