The project will produce battery grade lithium carbonate. The Pastos Grandes lithium project has a life of 40 years and targeted production of 24,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate per year. It carries an after tax net present value (8% discount) of US$1.03 billion and an internal rate of return after taxes will be 24.2%. The estimated total capex is US$448.2 million and the operating cost is US$3,388 per tonne of lithium carbonate produced. The operation will rely on solar evaporation  technology and conventional lithium brine processing. A pilot plan is currently being assembled on site. See www.MillennialLithium.com.
