AI, nothing has changed here since last September. However back then we were told the following but we haven't even had confirmation the bulk samples have arrived in India !
Read and weep...
"If we collect the samples during October 2024, they can be trucked to the nearest sea-port and shipped to our partners' Mumbai plant for January 2025 delivery. Clontarf Energy will meanwhile have completed the necessary Indian paperwork with our partners.
Ā
On arrival at our partners' plant, the Bolivian bulk samples will be expedited through the production process. We request a total of 320 tonnes since we plan to optimize recovery and throughput not just for Lithium, but also for Magnesium and other economic minerals.
Ā
This production process testing of the bulk samples and, hopefully including a YLB visit may be completed during FebruaryĀ /Ā MarchĀ 2025.
Ā
Assuming positive results, we propose agreement negotiations as soon as appropriate.
Clontarf Energy is hoping to deploy a pilot plant (at a scale of 500 tonnes / year) to a Bolivian site for arrival by mid-2025 (i.e. 6 to 7 months after arrival of the bulk samples at the Indian plant), after which it will be promptly commissioned, connected to power and brine sources, under applicable lawsĀ andĀ startĀ work."
