LACHINE, Quebec RAYMORE INDUSTRIES of Ste-Foy, Que., has chosen a site in Lachine, a borough of Montreal, for its high-purity lithium pilot plant. The company is designing a vacuum purifier to recycle lithium in a very high purity form. This piece of equipment will be unique in the world.
A 250 t/y commercial plant (which would cost $22.7 million) is planned.
Raymor is sole owner of the La Motte lithium deposit in the Abitibi region of Quebec. Results from drilling indicate a resource of 4.55 million tons grading 1.05% Li2O from the surface to a depth of 350 ft, which could supply the lithium project for a minimum of 20 years. The deposit includes by-products such as feldspar and mica. The company says this is the only North American lithium deposit that is suitable for open pit mining.
