## Minestarters Atlas summary

RecycLiCo \(American Manganese Inc.\) has achieved over 99% lithium recovery from LFP battery cathode materials during bench-scale tests. This expands their demonstrated capability from NMC, LMO, and LCO chemistries to include the rapidly growing LFP market.

Reasoning: Achieved high lithium extraction from LFP cathode materials, a growing market segment, via bench-scale testing.

- Positive factor: High lithium recovery \(>99%\)

- Positive factor: Expansion into LFP chemistry

- Positive factor: Bench-scale validation

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Achieved over 99% lithium recovery, which is exceptional for the commodity.

Evidence · text

> achieved over 99% lithium recovery

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: Results are reported from bench-scale tests rather than pilot or commercial scale.

Evidence · text

> during bench-scale tests

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was 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.
