Canada Lithium Corp. Advances Lithium Carbonate Metallurgical Process Advanced Search All Recent News Email a Friend Print-Friendly TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 2, 2009) - Canada Lithium Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CLQ) is pleased to announce that it has materially advanced its lithium carbonate metallurgical process and has recently produced lithium carbonate that is comparable to the battery market specifications that are widely accepted by the industry. Canada Lithium's product significantly exceeds specifications with respect to aluminum and iron which are considered deleterious.Canada Lithium Corp. is working in conjunction with SGS Lakefield Research to complete metallurgical test-work for the production of spodumene concentrate, lithium carbonate as well as high grades and purities of lithium carbonate. Metallurgical processing test-work results completed to date have resulted in the production of a spodumene concentrate grading 7.17% Li2O with an 80% recovery. The high-grade spodumene concentrate achieved with an 80% recovery is a material improvement over the approximate 50% recovery achieved at Quebec Lithium's operations from 1955 to 1965 and will result in lower operating costs. Canada Lithium Corp. has now achieved producing lithium carbonate that is comparable to the battery market specifications that are widely accepted by the industry. The company will continue to optimize its lithium carbonate processing methodology and will start continuous process for metallurgical purposes in the second quarter of 2009.
