Iconic $ICM.ca Announces Metallurgical Results of Bonnie Claire #Lithium Project in Nevada $LI.ca $MGG.ca $PAC.ca $CYP.ca $NEV.ca $SX.ca $SX $SXOOF

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:18 PM on Monday, April 1st, 2019
  • Announced that St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (SX) has released further information on their metallurgical work on Bonnie Claire lithium bearing sediments
  • Achieved complete and total recovery in leach of lithium from the bulk material provided
  • SG reports leaching 100% of the lithium while not affecting 88% of the remaining solids.
  • SX also announced that because the leach process removes most of the salts from the sediment the remaining material may be suitable for a nitrate based fertilizer by-product

Vancouver, British Columbia–(April 1, 2019) – Iconic Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: ICM) (OTC Pink: BVTEF) (FSE: YQGB) (“Company” or “Iconic”) is pleased to announce that St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (SX) has released further information on their metallurgical work on Bonnie Claire lithium bearing sediments dated March 31, 2019. SX states “St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. is pleased to inform its shareholders that it can confirm that it has achieved complete and total recovery in leach of lithium from the bulk material provided by its partner Iconic Minerals.” SG reports leaching 100% of the lithium while not affecting 88% of the remaining solids. The process uses Nitric and Citric acid at room temperature which reduces cost over other leaching methods. The sample tested which contained 963 ppm Li before processing contained 8,025 ppm lithium after processing, a gain of 833 percent. SX also announced that because the leach process removes most of the salts from the sediment the remaining material may be suitable for a nitrate based fertilizer by-product.

SX Goes into more details of the ongoing work on Bonnie Claire sediment which are quoted below:

“Developmental testing has results in 100% of the lithium leached to be repeatedly recuperated using the patent pending leaching technology developed by St-Georges.

Below are the steps tested in the course of the Phase 1 development of the process.

Step 1: Screening

The lithium material is being screened to remove pebbles and other coarse material like calcium.

(Independent testing and review of this stage was performed during the course of the months of March and April 2018 by SGS Lakefield laboratory in Ontario)

Step 2: De- Agglomeration

The agglomerated material is being feed into a roll grinder to break down the feed into the original fine particles before drying.

This was also done and reviewed by SGS Laboratories. After these 2 initial steps review, SGS performed an XRD and chemical analysis for each of the elements and crystalline forms.

Step 3: Concentration

Two approaches where developed and tested. Air Classification and Flotation Concentration. These co-exist as linear task A and B of the Concentration step at this stage. St-Georges is currently working on eliminating one of the sub-task with the hopes of drastically reducing costs and time of processing.

Task 3a: Air Classification

In this step the material is separated by density and particle size. In the particular case of the Bonnie Claire material, the lithium is contained in the superfine particles. These particles are too fine to be screened. Independent review and testing of Task 3a was performed in the scope of the month of November 2018 by the laboratories of Netzsch Premier Technologies LLC of Exton, Pennsylvania. The resulting material was reduced by 55% with a cut-off at 5 microns. The resulting material was sent by Netzsch for chemically analysis to the laboratories of the Centre de Technologie Minérales et de Plasturgie Inc.(CTMP) at Thedford-Mines in Québec. The labs results confirmed that 100% of the lithium remained in the resulting concentrate when properly de agglomerated.

Task 3b: Floatation Concentration

The CTMP labs performed at the demand of St-Georges a traditional froth floatation with deionized water. These tests were unsuccessful forcing the company metallurgists to adopt a different approach. St-Georges patent pending technology using a silicate salt saturated medium will be independently reviewed and tested with bulk material within the first part of the month of April by CTMP.

Step 4: Selective Leaching

Using St-Georges patent pending acid mix solution of Nitric and Citric acids, the CTMP reviewed and independently tested 2 batches of material from the Bonnie Claire lithium deposit.

Leach test 1:

Material from this initial test was passed though task 1 and task 2 but skipped Classification and Concentration. The results are:

100% of the lithium was leached at atmosphere pressure and low temperature. The total leach time was 1 hour resulting in 12% of the initial total mass. The Company set-up to improve on that result.

Leach test 2:

Material from this leach test was passed through task, 1, 2 and 3a. 100% of the lithium was leached at atmosphere pressure and low temperature. The total leach time was 1 hour resulting in 12% of the initial total mass.

Optimization of these tasks should yield results in industrial settings that would reduce the total mass to a target percentage below 5%.”

Iconic Minerals is encouraged by these metallurgical results and looks forward to St-Georges future announcements.

The Bonnie Claire Lithium Property Characteristics:

The Property is located within Sarcobatus Valley that is approximately 30 km (19 miles) long and 20 km (12 miles) wide. Quartz-rich volcanic tuffs, that contain anomalous amounts of lithium, occur within and adjacent to the valley. Geochemical analysis of the local salt flats has yielded lithium values up to 340 ppm. The gravity low within the valley is 20 km (12 miles) long, and the current estimates of depth to basement rocks range from 600 to 1,200 meters (2,000 to 4,000 feet). Four drill holes have identified an open ended, 43-101 compliant resource of 28.58 billion kilograms of lithium carbonate equivalent. The drilling that defined the current resource only covered an area of 3.0 km2 (1.2mi2), while previously run MT geophysics show a potentially mineralized area of 27.3 km2 (10.5mi2). Drilling to date has shown strong correlation between the MT results and the lithium mineralization. The thickness of the lithium mineralization is unknown, but drilling indicates it is greater than 600 meters (2,000 feet). The current claim block covers an area of 57.5 km2 (22.2mi2). Further drilling has been permitted and metallurgy to determine the most efficient recovery method is currently in progress.

St-Georges $SX $SX.ca $SXOOF Confirms Complete Recuperation of #Lithium in Leach $ICM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:12 PM on Sunday, March 31st, 2019
  • Confirms that it has achieved complete and total recovery in leach of lithium from the bulk material provided by its partner Iconic Minerals (TSX-V: ICM)
  • St-Georges’ patent pending leaching technology achieved 100% leaching of lithium while not affecting the majority of the solids
  • 88% of the initial feed material is unleached which helps with chemicals consumption and tailings disposal.

Montreal, March 31, 2019 / St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to inform its shareholders that it can confirm that it has achieved complete and total recovery in leach of lithium from the bulk material provided by its partner Iconic Minerals (TSX-V: ICM) originating from their Bonnie Claire lithium project in Nevada.

St-Georges’ patent pending leaching technology achieved 100% leaching of lithium while not affecting the majority of the solids. 88% of the initial feed material is unleached which helps with chemicals consumption and tailings disposal.

The patent pending mix of nitric and citric acids being used do not require high temperature and high pressure and no calcination is required. The objectives of the technology development was simply to have the lowest chemical cost impact.

The impacts on the Bonnie Claire Deposit of the first phase of the process that includes classification, concentration and leaching at atmospheric pressure and low temperature has shown an average concentration gain from 963 ppm Li to 8,025 ppm Li, or a gain of 8,333 percent.

St-Georges is currently testing different calibration and improving on its selective leaching in order to target only the recuperation in the leach of the lithium and magnesium and achieve better grades in the leach.

Potential Fertilizer By-Products

In addition to the lithium, the selective leaching collects mainly the salt family elements such as Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca) and items like carbonates. The company believe that this could lead to-possible development of fertilizer by-products in the nitrate family that would potentially positively impact the economics of the Bonnie Claire project.

Current On-Going Developments

The next tests to be started this week will focus on reducing the total time of contact and we expect that the selectivity will be increased. In addition, St-Georges is in the process of purchasing a electrolysis unit to make LiOH to be added to the pilot plant with a further focus on using less chemicals. Work with various vendors of resins has been initiated to optimize the lithium purification steps prior to lithium hydroxide production.

Phase 1 Confidential Report

The phase 1 confidential report is currently being independently reviewed and a final public summary should be disseminated within 45 days. Detailed tests result and confidential information related to the process flow-sheet has been provided to Iconic management. For details and guidelines regulating the relation between Iconic and St-Georges, please read December 7, 2017 press release “Licensing Technology Agreement with Iconic Minerals”.

Summary of the proposed industrial process

Developmental testing has results in 100% of the lithium leached to be repeatedly recuperated using the patent pending leaching technology developed by St-Georges.

Below are the steps tested in the course of Phase 1 of the development of the process.

Step 1: Screening

The lithium material is being screened out to remove pebbles and other coarse material like calcium.

(Independent testing and review of this stage was performed during the course of the months of March and April 2018 by SGS Lakefield laboratory in Ontario)

Step 2: De- Agglomeration

The agglomerated material is being fed into a roll grinder to break down the feed into the original fine particles before drying.

This was also done and reviewed by SGS Laboratory. After these 2 initial steps review, SGS performed an XRD and chemical analysis for each of the elements and crystalline forms.

Step 3: Concentration

Two approaches were developed and tested. Air classification and flotation concentration. These co-exist as linear task A and B of the concentration step at this stage. St-Georges is currently working on eliminating one of the sub-tasks with the hopes of drastically reducing costs and processing time.

Task 3a: Air Classification

In this step the material is separated by density and particle size. In the particular case of the Bonnie Claire material, the lithium is contained in the superfine particles. These particles are too fine to be screened.

Independent review and testing of Task 3a were performed in the scope of the month of November 2018 by the laboratories of Netzsch Premier Technologies LLC of Exton, Pennsylvania. The resulting material was reduced by 55% with a cut-off at 5 microns.

The resulting material was sent by Netzsch for chemical analysis to the laboratories of the Centre de Technologie minerales et de plasturgie Inc. (CTMP) at Tedford-Mines in Quebec.

The lab results confirmed that 100% of the lithium remained in the resulting concentrate when properly de-agglomerated.

Task 3b: Floatation Concentration

The CTMP labs performed, at the demand of St-Georges, a traditional froth floatation with deionized water. These tests were unsuccessful forcing the company metallurgists to adopt a different approach.

St-Georges patent pending technology using a silicate salt saturated medium will be independently reviewed and tested with bulk material within the first part of the month of April by CTMP.

Step 4: Selective Leaching

Using St-Georges’ patent pending acid mix solution of nitric and citric acids, the CTMP reviewed and independently tested 2 batches of material from the Bonnie Claire lithium deposit.

Leach test 1:

Material from this initial test was passed through tasks 1 and 2 but skipped classification and concentration. The results are:

100% of the lithium was leached at atmosphere pressure and low temperature. The total leach time was of 1 hour resulting in 12% of the initial total mass. The company set-up and intends to improve on that result.

Leach test 2:

Material from this leach test was passed through tasks 1, 2 and 3a. 100% of the lithium was leached at atmosphere pressure and low temperature. The total leach time was of 1 hour resulting in 12% of the initial total mass.

Optimization of these tasks should yield results in industrial settings that would reduce the total mass to a target percentage below 5%

St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. $SX.ca Update on #Lithium Extraction Technology Provisional Patent

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:52 AM on Wednesday, January 30th, 2019

Update on Lithium Extraction Technology Provisional Patent

  • In the Company last press release, the text regarding the provisional patent filed under the name ‘Method of Mineral Recovery’ was incomplete as it omitted important elements of the innovation claim contained in St-Georges provisional filing.
  • The portion of the text related to lithium extraction technology refers solely to the prior art on which the St-Georges innovation and new patent evolves from.
  • It covers a portion of stage 1, the concentration phase, and is being improved upon.

Montreal, Quebec / January 30, 2019 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) would like to provide important information in regards to the provisional patent filing mention in its January 20, 2019 press release and pertaining to its lithium extraction technology initiatives.

In the Company last press release, the text regarding the provisional patent filed under the name ‘Method of Mineral Recovery’ was incomplete as it omitted important elements of the innovation claim contained in St-Georges provisional filing.

The portion of the text related to lithium extraction technology refers solely to the prior art on which the St-Georges innovation and new patent evolves from. It covers a portion of stage 1, the concentration phase, and is being improved upon.

This prior art comes from United States Patent 4098687, Published 07/04/1978 and titled ‘Beneficiation of lithium ores by froth flotation’. This patent is now in the public domain.

(…), the lithium values fraction of lithium-containing ores is floated from gangue slimes, preferably without the use of a desliming step, by a froth flotation process wherein an aqueous pulp of the ore is treated with a conditioning reagent which improves the selectivity of anionic collectors to spodumene and other lithium values. … The conditioning reagent is added to and thoroughly mixed with the ore pulp before the pulp is subjected to conventional froth flotation in the presence of an anionic collector as the flotation agent (…)” (Extracts of the historical patent)

Although there are important differences in our approach, mainly by initially reducing the amount of material to be froth floated by 55% by adding a prior concentration step using a method of air classification and the fact that we are using this similar approach to treat clays and fines, it is important to point out that the concentration is not our innovation core claim.

The Provisional Patent Innovation Claim

The keys to the invention are using water saturated with silicate salts or other similar substitutes with reagents that make the lithium be attracted to air for successful flotation. Clay materials that are superfine generally do not concentrate well in water. The combination of nitric acid leach with a controlled dosage of citric acid with saturated salt solution for froth flotation has not been done together previously.

St-Georges has been working on low-grade ores in super fines form. These resources are often as difficult to leach as traditional hard rock resources. In the development, the R&D is being carried on two fronts: concentrating with improvements on prior art and leaching with our research team to avoid high-temperature and high-pressure vessels and eliminating the need to roast or calcine the material in order to reduce costs.

The provisional patent filed cover prior art to concentrate low-grade lithium resources with St-Georges technology to leach without pressure or high-temperature and avoid leaching materials that traditionally leach easily with H2SO4 and HCl that enter the circuit as impurities. This selective leaching process allows the reduction of waste materials and neutralization efforts.

Our team has been testing our selective leaching on a number of traditional hard rock crystalline forms of lithium and has successfully leached spodumene and leopodolite without the use of high-temperature and pressure and not requiring roasting and calcining.

The company already reported results of successful selective leaching that has helped to reduce the total weight leached to approximately 12% of the total initial weight. In the second stage of the process, prior art to concentrate lithium in slims and clays is being applied with the selective leaching. St-Georges expects to combine prior art with the innovation in leaching currently being further improved to unlock the lithium content of various conventional and alternative lithium-bearing material.

More material from various origins will be tested in the coming months. So far the selective leach is working on all lithium resources tested.

Timely release of information

St-Georges management has the difficult task to protect the knowledge acquired by its on-going R&D initiatives prior to the grant of formal patents while it also has the obligation to inform its shareholders on the progress of these initiatives while protecting their collective investment in the intellectual property to be generated.

The nature of provisional patent filing allows for amendments as further testing and fine tuning is done and generates positive results while keeping the information protected from third parties. St-Georges’ metallurgists are planning to further amend the provisional filings when significant improvement on the core innovation becomes material. The challenge to maintain the right balance between a maximum disclosure of information and the protection of the intellectual property generated is bound to create a situation where an internal censorship process get in the way of efficient information.

INDUSTRY BULLETIN: The world watches Paris and Provincial Governments unveil clean technology plans – but where will the critical raw materials come from?

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:55 PM on Thursday, December 3rd, 2015

  • Recent policy initiatives in Canada will likely result in increased funding for clean technology innovation, which will lead to increased demand for critical materials needed in clean technology such as lithium.
  • The world is closely watching the United Nations Conference on Climate Change ongoing until December 11, 2015 in Paris. The expected outcome of this conference is a new international agreement to control carbon emissions.

December 3, 2015

Avalon Rare Metals Inc. is pleased to provide an update on a few recent national and international initiatives related to the ongoing “Clean Technology Revolution.” Recent policy initiatives in Canada will likely result in increased funding for clean technology innovation, which will lead to increased demand for critical materials needed in clean technology such as lithium. Developing supply chains will need companies such as Avalon to provide the necessary critical raw materials to achieve governments’ ambitious policy goals.

The world is closely watching the United Nations Conference on Climate Change ongoing until December 11, 2015 in Paris. The expected outcome of this conference is a new international agreement to control carbon emissions. It is anticipated that there will be agreement around the urgent need for more efficient and cleaner energy generation and reduced reliance on the burning of fossil fuels. Prior to the conference, two Canadian provinces, Alberta and Ontario, unveiled their strategies to combat greenhouse gas emission and to develop a low-carbon economy.

In Alberta, Premier Rachel Notley outlined the province’s Climate Leadership Plan and in Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne presented a somewhat similar Climate Change Strategy. While there are some differences, one can note that both of these strategies focus on expanding renewable energy initiatives such as wind power and solar power, as well as increased use of hybrid and electric vehicles and other energy efficient technologies. All of these technologies rely on energy storage, which is being enabled by advances in lithium ion battery technology.

Battery expert Jay Whitacre, an investor at Carnegie Mellon, states, “If you are serious about eliminating combustion of fossil fuels to power anything, you can’t do it without [energy] storage.” There remains an impending supply crisis surrounding the availability of critical elements such as lithium, as outlined by David Abraham, author of “The Elements of Power,” who calls on world leaders to address the pending shortage of critical elements needed for clean technologies in his recent Op-Ed in the New York Times: “The Next Resource Shortage?.” Limited investment in new production in recent years and long timelines to bring new production to market signal looming supply shortages and higher prices as demand outstrips supply.

This is good news for aspiring producers like Avalon positioned with advanced lithium projects in favourable political jurisdictions such as Ontario.

Rapid development of electric car technology, enabled by lower cost and more efficient lithium ion batteries, is being led in North America by Tesla Motors, Inc. Tesla is building a lithium ion battery “Gigafactory” in Nevada to produce rechargeable batteries for its future electric cars and the “Powerwall” battery for home energy storage. It has also committed to sourcing the critical materials for the Gigafactory in North America. New supply sources will need to be developed to serve their needs as well as other battery makers around the world. Avalon’s Separation Rapids Lithium Project could become part of the solution.

Policymakers around the world keen on implementing the Clean Technology Revolution would be wise to consider: Where will all the critical raw materials come from?
