Human Rights Watch and Rohingya Muslim refugees in India urged the government on Monday to provide refuge to 81 Rohingya people whose boat has been drifting in the Andaman Sea for over two weeks. Since last month, India has been providing food, medical and technical aid to Rohingya crammed on a fishing boat that was found drifting in international waters after it left southern Bangladesh. India's coast guard has repaired the vessel but was not permitting it to enter Indian waters, and instead wanted it to return to Bangladesh.
The ceremony was largely virtual due to the pandemic.
HIGHLIGHTS >99.985% purity lithium carbonate produced using ‘off-the-shelf’ OEM technologyNow successfully demonstrated two different flowsheets for producing battery-quality carbonateLaunch of work converting Arkansas-produced LiCl into battery quality lithium hydroxide VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SLL) (OTCQX: STLHF) (FRA: S5L), an innovative technology and lithium project development company today announced that it has successfully completed the conversion of its Arkansas-produced lithium chloride into 99.985% pure lithium carbonate using OEM technology. The work was completed by Veolia Water Technologies (Veolia) at their facility in Plainfield, Illinois, and demonstrates that the lithium chloride intermediate product produced by Standard Lithium’s industrial scale LiSTR Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) plant in Arkansas can be converted into better-than battery quality lithium carbonate using established OEM carbonation technology. Dual Track Program for Lithium Carbonate ConversionAs part of a continuous process of derisking the Arkansas Lithium Project, Standard Lithium opted to evaluate two different processes to convert the LiCl solution made by the Arkansas DLE plant into a battery-quality material. The first was using the Company’s own patent-pending SiFT technology as previously reported (see news release dated December 03rd 2020). The second, as reported here, was via conventional technology, widely used within the industry and performed by Veolia. Concentrated lithium chloride solution produced by Standard Lithium was sent to Veolia and was then converted to lithium carbonate using a conventional flowsheet. This involves additional concentration; chemical softening/purification; initial conversion to solid lithium carbonate; redissolution to a bicarbonate solution and final crystallisation, washing and drying of battery quality lithium carbonate. The material produced was of exceptionally high purity, as shown in Table 1 below where the composition is compared to typical specifications for battery-grade lithium carbonate compiled from a variety of commercial sources and producers’ specifications Table 1: Analysis of Lithium Carbonate SpecificationStandard LithiumElementTargetLi2CO3 SampleppmppmChloride<100<50Sulphur<50<10Aluminium<10<3Barium<1<1Calcium<160<10Chromium<10<1Copper<10<1Iron<5<1Lead<10<1Magnesium<70<10Manganese<10<1Nickel<6<1Zinc<5<1Sodium<50014Potassium<10<10Boron<30<1Silicon<4026 Total Impurities<142 The total impurities of <142 ppm implies an overall purity of >99.985%. The Company has now successfully demonstrated two separate crystallisation flowsheets that can take lithium chloride produced from the Smackover Formation brine and convert it into high purity battery-quality lithium carbonate. As the Company continues to move towards commercialisation, successful demonstration of alternative technologies in key areas of the flowsheet allows it to reduce project execution risk and offers greater flexibility regarding the final flowsheet that will be deployed at commercial scale. Lithium Hydroxide Conversion ProgramStandard Lithium continues to innovate and optimise its flowsheet, and with a view to expanding product offerings from the Smackover resource, it has commenced work to assess the feasibility of directly converting LiCl produced by the LiSTR DLE plant in Arkansas into battery quality lithium hydroxide. This work is ongoing, and the Company will provide results as they become available. Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium commented “We’ve now demonstrated that we can convert to battery quality lithium carbonate using the Company’s SiFT technology; that we can get to the same end-product using established technology developed and sold by global OEMs; and now we’re looking to add battery quality lithium hydroxide to the product offering. In the background, we continue to rapidly advance both project and corporate development work. We’re excited about reaching the various milestones ahead of us and, if we’re successful, taking this globally important project into commercialisation.” Quality AssuranceDr. Ron Molnar, Professional Metallurgical Engineer (Ontario P.E.# 100111288), is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, is independent of the Company, and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for this news release. About Standard Lithium Ltd.Standard Lithium (TSXV: SLL) is an innovative technology and lithium development company. The company’s flagship project is located in southern Arkansas, where it is engaged in the testing and proving of the commercial viability of lithium extraction from over 150,000 acres of permitted brine operations. The Company has commissioned its first-of-a-kind industrial scale Direct Lithium Extraction Demonstration Plant at LANXESS’ South Plant facility in southern Arkansas. The Demonstration Plant utilizes the Company’s proprietary LiSTR technology to selectively extract lithium from LANXESS’ tailbrine. The Demonstration Plant is being used for proof-of-concept and commercial feasibility studies. The scalable, environmentally-friendly process eliminates the use of evaporation ponds, reduces processing time from months to hours and greatly increases the effective recovery of lithium. The company is also pursuing the resource development of over 30,000 acres of separate brine leases located in southwestern Arkansas and approximately 45,000 acres of mineral leases located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California. Standard Lithium is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol “SLL”; quoted on the OTC - Nasdaq Intl Designation under the symbol “STLHF”; and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “S5L”.

CABORCA, Mexico, March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mexus Gold US (OTCQB: MXSG) (“Mexus” or the “Company) announced that it continues to be approached by multiple mining companies. These companies are interested in a drill with option to purchase agreement based on their proven 43-101 results or a joint venture production partnership. All of Mexus’ properties are currently being reviewed. These include the Santa Elena mine which is currently in limited production, the Mabel gold/copper property which shows 40,000 oz Au equivalent drilled on just 5% of the property and the Ures copper/gold/silver property. Over the past year the company has opened 3 major pits at its Santa Elena mine with limited production from each. The Mexus III shear zone and quartz vein contains lower grade material at .7 gpt Au. This has occurred without the use of explosives. The Mexus II vein averages 2.2 gpt Au and the Julio vein/shear zones average 4.1 gpt Au. Both the Mexus II and Julio pits need to be blasted in order to continue running material from this area. Mexus has been told that this permit is approved and is currently awaiting issuance of the official paperwork. Reviewing past drilling, geological sampling and electromagnetic scoping the company believes that these 3 majors pits will connect to form a very large open pit with millions of tons of mineralized material. “We are looking forward to receiving the blasting permit which will allow for an increase in the material grades being placed on the heap leach pad. Mexus is in our slow but steady build out phase. We are looking to increase production and recoveries which will ultimately allow for a stair-stepped phased increase of gold production throughout the year,” added Mexus CEO Paul Thompson Sr. About Mexus Gold US Mexus Gold US is an American based mining company with holdings in Mexico. The fully owned Santa Elena mine is located 54km NW of Caborca, Mexico. Mexus also owns rights to the Ures property located 80km N of Hermosillo, Mexico. This property contains 6900 acres and has both gold and copper on the property. Founded in 2009, Mexus Gold US is committed to protecting the environment, mine safety and employing members of the communities in which it operates.
