ANZAPLAN announces the collaboration with Mongolian-based Oyuny Undra Group (OUG) for development of an Li extraction and precipitation procedure of ore from the Arbayan Tungsten-Lithium deposit in south-east Mongolia, Sukhbaatar province. Processing tests are carried out at ANZAPLAN’s technical center and analyzed in its state-of-the art analytical facilities.
Main ore mineral in the Arbayan deposit is hubnerite (MnWO4) which is hosted in a mainly feldspar and quartz and mica/clay bearing rock. ANZAPLAN has successfully carried out first extraction and precipitation test work to recover Li from a mica concentrate. In a second step the economic viability of Li recovery will be investigated in detail and an optimized processing procedure will be developed.
