Clear Sky Lithium Corp. (CSE: POWR) has received positive results from clay speciation lab results from surface sampling at its ELi property located in Nevada’s Little Smoky Valley.
“These initial findings give a baseline for the previously announced upcoming bench scale study to be performed by MDS Technical Corp., the results will be used to further characterise and refine our metallurgical plan and forms an integral part of our ongoing toolbox approach for exploration and processing,” CEO, Patrick Morris, said,
ActLabs of Ancaster, Ontario, were engaged to process four surficial grab samples collected from the Clear Sky ELi property in the summer of 2022.
The four samples were submitted for a quantitative X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and clay speciation whereby ActLabs determined the relative abundance of clay minerals.
The quantities of the crystalline mineral phases were determined using the Rietveld method based on the calculation of the full diffraction pattern from crystal structure data.
The amounts of the crystalline minerals were recalculated based on a known percent of corundum and the remainder to 100 % was considered poorly crystalline and X-ray amorphous material.
The relative proportions of the clay minerals in the < 4 μm size fraction were calculated using the ratios of the basal-peak areas.
“We are very pleased and look forward to starting the MDS bench scale test program and announcing the results of our continued efforts to expand our knowledge and ability to unlock the intrinsic value of lithium at our properties in Nevada,” Mr Morris said.
