Highlights
Lithium Plus progresses environmental and regulatory milestones for Lei Project
Lei’s DSO production proposal includes Canmax Technologies as a key partner
Hydro and site assessments underway to support development planning
Lithium Plus Ltd (ASX:LPM), listed on the All Ordinaries, is continuing to advance the development of its Lei Lithium Project located in the Northern Territory. The company is undertaking regulatory and environmental activities to support its planned direct shipped ore (DSO) production strategy.
The initiative is part of Lithium Plus’ broader development roadmap aimed at establishing a future underground lithium operation, backed by early-stage site works and third-party collaboration.
DSO Strategy Moves Ahead with Canmax Collaboration
The company is pursuing a near-term DSO production path in coordination with Canmax Technologies. The proposal involves onsite crushing and screening of ore at Lei, which would then be transported for further processing into lithium hydroxide or carbonate at Canmax’s overseas facility.
This approach has been designed to align with a low upfront capital framework, allowing early-stage activity to commence without the need for complex infrastructure at site.
Environmental Submissions Progressing
Lithium Plus recently completed a formal survey of the proposed mining lease area. A supplementary environmental report (SER) is currently in preparation with the assistance of EcOz Environmental Consulting.
Hydrogeological modelling and associated water resource assessments have also commenced, supporting the SER’s technical basis. A positive notice of decision has enabled further work to progress across the site.
Regulatory Approvals and Economic Study Near Completion
Alongside its regulatory program, Lithium Plus is also undertaking advanced commercial and technical review work for the Lei Project. The objective is to de-risk the development phase and support a structured transition into production readiness.
The company confirmed that it is preparing for a future development decision, supported by a well-advanced economic study and aligned with the firm’s broader strategic roadmap.
Broader Focus on Tier-One Critical Mineral Projects
In addition to the Lei Lithium Project, Lithium Plus maintains a broader portfolio that includes interests in uranium and rare earths. These projects are located in tier-one jurisdictions, aligning with the company’s focus on high-impact assets across stable mining regions.
