(TheNewswire)
Montréal – TheNewswire - July 26, 2021 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX) (CNSX:SX.CN) (OTC:SXOOF) (FSE:85G1) is pleasedto provide an update on the development of its lithium processingtechnology pertaining to battery-related feedstocks, spodumeneconcentrate and lithium in clay and clay-like particles.
The Company has received the support of the federal government ofCanada in the development of the portion of the technology that eithergenerates or converts some of the tailing or non-strategic metalscomponents of the material processed into a premium fertilizer.
The Company has received a grant from the Natural Sciences andEngineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to initiate apartnership between St-Georges Eco-Mining and academic institutionswithin a new initiative called “ Acircular economy initiative to develop a Quebec based production offertilizer from the recycled products of lithium-ionbatteries ”.
The current grant of $25,000 will initiate the program. The Companyexpects that the initiative will proliferate with additionalpartnerships from large chemical and agricultural industrial operatorsalready confidentially involved.
“(…) For us, this is arecognition of the importance of our work and the confirmation thatour total processing approach that targets the reduction of tailingsfrom lithium-in-clay mining operations, lithium hydroxide spodumeneconcentrate production and the processing of all rejects allowing therecycling of 100% of battery content is gathering interest fromstrategic industry partners and the government. (…) This researchwill allow us to bring to market high-quality fertilizers that are inhigh demand from our proposed 2021 operational plants in Québec andwill improve the econometrics of our processing technology for allhard rock spodumene deposits and for clays like our partners IconicMinerals (TSX-V: ICM) and their Bonnie Claire project. (…) thedevelopment of this segment of our technology differs from everythingelse we have seen so far from the competition, and we expect todivulge additional information on the results of the related pilottests in the coming days and weeks.” stated Enrico Di Cesare,EVSX’s CEO and St-Georges’ VP Research & Development .
