Concept Study Identifies Potential Refining Pathway at Shaakichiuwaanaan to Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate
- A concept study was completed to evaluate processing spodumene concentrate into battery-grade lithium carbonate at the Shaakichiuwaanaan site.
- Primero's proprietary ALi® atmospheric leach process was identified as the preferred method due to its economic potential, environmental alignment, and low technical risk.
- Bench-Scale tests produced 99.8% battery-grade lithium carbonate from Shaakichiuwaanaan spodumene concentrate using the ALi® process.
- On-Site processing using electric calcination powered by Quebec's renewable energy could reduce carbon intensity and improve supply chain efficiency.

Concept Study Identifies Potential Refining Pathway at Shaakichiuwaanaan to Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate
Study highlights potential to produce a value-added lithium chemical at site, offering further opportunities to reduce logistics intensity over time and aligning with Canada's and Québec's objectives for domestic processing of critical minerals
PMET Resources confirms value-added lithium processing viability on site in Québec
ASX-listed lithium explorer PMET Resources has confirmed in a concept study that the Shaakichiuwaanaan project, in Québec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, can viably produce a value-added lithium chemical at site. This offers reduced logistics intensity over time and aligns with Canada’s objectives for domestic processing of critical minerals.
