Canada Lithium Corp. CLQMF today announced
that commissioning of its open-pit mine and processing plant near Val
d'Or, Québec, is proceeding as per the revised schedule. Mining
operations continued at a reduced level and approximately 100,000
tonnes of ore remain on stockpile at the crusher. The mining operation
is scheduled to resume at the end of the month.
Crushing, grinding and concentrator circuits are fully operational and
ramp-up to design capacity could be achieved quickly as the
hydro-metallurgical commissioning advances. The kiln is operating at
its design temperature of approximately 1,000 degrees and the kiln
throughput is being systematically increased over 50%.
The commissioning of the hydro-metallurgical circuit is ongoing,
including the sulphate, neutralisation, lithium carbonate and
purification circuits. The previously planned upgrades to the carbon
dioxide process have been completed and lithium carbonate product
currently in the system will be processed through the new circuit.
Through the commissioning phase, the Company continues to monitor
working capital levels. Product shipments to Tewoo in China are
scheduled to resume at the end of October.
