Name of the Project
San José lithium project.
Location
Extremadura region of Spain.
Project Owner/s
Infinity Lithium Corporation.
Project Description
Envisaged is an operation with a 26-year mine life, which will support a two-million-tonne-a-year lithium chemical conversion facility located in the project area. The proposed mine will ramp up to full production over a two-year period from the start of production and then operate at two-million tonnes a year.
Transversal longhole stoping with paste backfill has been selected as the ideal mining method for resource extraction, facilitating the development of primary and secondary stopes.
Average life-of-mine lithium hydroxide monohydrate production, including ramp-up, is estimated at 30 395 t/y.
