The report titled, N.I. 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment Hombre Muerto North Lithium Project, Salta, Argentina, was completed by Knight Piesold Consulting and JDS Energy and Mining Inc., both industry leading independent engineering consulting firms.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華,2024 年 4 月 30 日 /PRNewswire/-- 南方鋰業開發公司 (“公司” 或 “南方鋰業”)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:LIS)(場外交易代碼:LISMF)(法蘭克福股票代碼:OGPQ)欣然宣佈,繼先前於2024年3月3日公佈的摘要業績之後,它已於今天向SEDAR plus提交了初步經濟評估(“PEA報告”)。該報告的標題是 N.I. 43-101 初步經濟評估 Hombre Muerto North 鋰項目,阿根廷薩爾塔, 由Knight Piesold Consulting和JDS能源與礦業公司完成,這兩家公司都是行業領先的獨立工程諮詢公司。
The PEA Report provides support for Lithium South to proceed with development plans for a 15,600 tonnes per year lithium carbonate plant, located at its wholly owned, Hombre Muerto North Lithium Project ("HMN Li Project") in Salta, Argentina. The extraction and recovery process for the project is based on conventional solar evaporation of the well brine, magnesium removal with slaked lime and lithium carbonate precipitation using soda ash, which is an industrial proven method of lithium production.
PEA報告爲Lithium South繼續實施每年15,600噸碳酸鋰工廠的開發計劃提供了支持,該工廠位於阿根廷薩爾塔的全資Hombre Muerto North鋰項目(“HMN Li項目”)。該項目的開採和回收過程基於傳統的太陽能蒸發井鹽水,用消石灰去除鎂,使用蘇打灰沉澱碳酸鋰,這是一種經過工業驗證的鋰生產方法。
The financial model shows a Net Present Value after tax of US$938 million, an after-tax Internal Rate of Return of 31.6%, and a 2.5-year payback.
財務模型顯示,稅後淨現值爲9.38億美元,稅後內部收益率爲31.6%,投資回報率爲2.5年。
Company Founder President and CEO, Adrian F. C. Hobkirk is quoted, "We are very pleased to have achieved this important milestone for the HMN Li Project. The robust economics and room for expansion indicate a promising future for Lithium South."
引述公司創始人、總裁兼首席執行官阿德里安·霍布柯克的話說:“我們很高興HMN Li項目實現了這一重要的里程碑。強勁的經濟和擴張空間表明 Lithium South 的前景光明。”
About Lithium South
關於南方鋰業
Lithium South owns 100% of the HMN Li Project located in Salta and Catamarca Provinces, Argentina, in the heart of the lithium triangle. The Salar del Hombre Muerto has a history of lithium production, with Arcadium Lithium (as a result of the Alkem and Livent merger) in operation for over twenty-five years, in an area just south of the HMN Li Project. The HMN Li Project is surrounded by a US$4 billion lithium development under construction by POSCO (Korea) and the Sal de Vida Project under development by Arcadium. Exploration work to date has delineated a National Instrument 43-101 compliant 1,583,200 tonne Lithium Carbonate Equivalent ("LCE") Resource (Note 1) on the Alba Sabrina, Natalia Maria, and Tramo claim blocks, three of five non-contiguous blocks that make up the HMN Lithium Project. With pumping well installation underway, Lithium South is transitioning from being a lithium explorer to becoming a lithium developer.
Lithium South擁有位於阿根廷薩爾塔省和卡塔馬卡省的HMN Li項目的100%股份,該項目位於鋰三角中心的阿根廷薩爾塔省和卡塔馬卡省。Salar del Hombre Muerto有鋰生產的歷史,Arcadium Lithium(由Alkem和Livent合併而成)在HMN Li項目以南的地區運營了超過二十五年。HMN Li項目被浦項制鐵(韓國)正在建設的40億美元鋰開發項目和Arcadium正在開發的Sal de Vida項目所包圍。迄今爲止的勘探工作已經在構成HMN鋰項目的五個非連續區塊中的三個區塊中劃定了符合國家儀器43-101標準的1,583,200噸碳酸鋰當量(“LCE”)資源(註釋1)。隨着泵井安裝的進行,Lithium South正在從鋰勘探公司過渡到成爲鋰開發商。
