MGX Minerals (OTC: MGXMF) holds the largest lithium portfolio in Canada and has its sights set on the booming global lithium market, projected to reach $5.87 billion by 2020. “Positive developments have made the company’s lithium operations a special point of interest. An important factor is the company’s engineering partner Purlucid Treatment Solutions, which has developed technologies representing a major step in the process of extracting lithium from petroleum brine water (petrolithium). MGX already holds the largest lithium portfolio in Canada, with its Sturgeon Lake property in Alberta and other lithium assets, and the company is the sole proprietary technology holder for processing petrolithium. Purlucid has now successfully demonstrated a way to upgrade brine samples from 67mg/L of lithium to 1600mg/L of lithium, while at the same time removing all magnesium, boron, and potassium. This significant pre-processing achievement, generating solutions 1,200 percent higher than anticipated, can be expected to have an impact on the cost of production for the entire petrolithium process, since, according to Purlucid CEO Dr. Preston McEachern, the ‘biggest challenge in lithium recovery is creating a clean brine.’”
