Highlights

Lithium Universe has partnered with Primero Group Limited for a concentrator engineering study.

The study is expected to design a stand-alone concentrator.

Primero has extensive lithium process design experience.

Lithium Universe intends to establish Québec Lithium Processing Hub (QLPH).

Lithium Universe Limited (ASX:LU7) has appointed Primero Group Limited as the lead manager for a concentrator engineering study, aimed at the design of a multi-purpose stand-alone concentrator with a processing capacity of 1Mtpa of spodumene ore.

The appointment is in line with the company’s strategy to establish its Québec Lithium Processing Hub (QLPH). The company intends to pursue its strategy while conducting exploration activities to build a vertically integrated mine to battery-grade lithium carbonate processing hub in Quebec.

Concentrator Engineering Study

The concentrator engineering study will focus on the design of a stand-alone concentrator that is expected to be similar to that of the Mt Cattlin plant, which uses a simple dense media separation (DMS).

The processing plant will include a four-stage crushing operation to generate particles less than 6mm, which will afterwards undergo DMS. Furthermore, a small flotation circuit will be integrated into the crusher under-size stream to increase recoveries.

For executing the strategy, Primero will be assisted by the lithium experts of LU7.
