Proprietary Technology

Our proprietary, U.S. Patent pending lithium and REE beneficiation/extraction process was initially developed by Trevor  to physically model pyroclastic density currents in the volcanology lab at Boise State University as part of a potential graduate thesis under Dr. Brittany Brand. His knowledge of volcanics and his experience in lithium exploration led to the realization that the process he developed to model flow dynamics could be used to separate lithium by density without the use of water.  This dry beneficiation process can differentiate leachable lithium from refractory ores containing magnesium, calcium, etc.  Initial testing results increased concentrations 120% over unprocessed samples with known assay values, as well as separating rare earths, refractory lithium ore containing calcium, magnesium, etc. and isolating and removing gangue minerals.
