Interesting the initial output is in the region that might produce circa 100,000 tonnes of electrolyte, Tinci supply CATL as well as the recent Tesla news,
The integrated plant has been designed to initially process 522,000 t of ore per year (average of first 5 years of production), producing 5,112 tpa of lithium fluoride, (7,285tpa LCE). The plant will scale up to process up to 600,000 tonnes of ore per year over the life of the mine.
from earlier:
Fraunhofer estimates, that mid-case consumption of LiF in electrolyte production will be in the range of 20,000 t/a to 40,000 t/a by 2030, depending on LiF density remaining in the electrolyte in the range of 5 % to 10 %.
Just interesting as a possible customer in the right region specialising in electrolytes supplying major battery manufacturers.
Possibilities!
