## Minestarters Atlas summary

Global Energy Metals reports successful lithium brine testing at the Peace River Lithium Project using Geo40's DLE technology. The pilot program achieved 97% lithium recoveries and produced a lithium carbonate sample with &gt;99.9% purity.

Reasoning: The pilot test demonstrated high recovery and successful production of high-purity product, a key milestone for DLE technology at the Peace River project.

- Positive factor: High lithium recovery \(97%\)

- Positive factor: Successful production of &gt;99.9% purity battery-grade lithium carbonate

- Positive factor: Significant concentration increase in eluate \(13-fold\)

- Negative factor: Third-party verification of battery-grade purity not yet completed

- Negative factor: Results based on internal ICP testing

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.

Why it applies: Lithium recovery averaged 97% during pilot testing.

Evidence · text

> overall lithium recoveries consistently averaging 97%

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The testing was conducted at a pilot site using 6,000 litres of brine, which is a step above bench but below commercial scale.

Evidence · text

> NeoLithica transported 6,000 litres of lithium-bearing oilfield brine

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("concentrate"\)

**Multi-Domain Tested**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed.

Why it applies: 3 distinct composites were tested

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
