Lithium Australia NL ( (AU:LIT) ) has shared an update.
Livium Ltd reported interim results from Stage 1 of its rare earth elements extraction project with the University of Melbourne, showing that its microwave-assisted leaching technology can be scaled tenfold while maintaining recovery rates above 90% for neodymium and praseodymium. The tests also demonstrated that operating temperatures can be reduced by 30°C with about 15% energy savings, while optimising acid and reagent use and improving selectivity by significantly limiting iron leaching.
These advances support the commercial viability of Livium’s REE technology and align with its strategy to develop scalable, energy-efficient processes for critical mineral recovery. The company will now refine operating conditions further, targeting lower temperatures and reduced reagent intensity, with final Stage 1 results due in mid-May to guide a roughly 100-fold scale-up toward pilot-scale validation in Phase 2.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:LIT) stock is a Hold with a A$0.01 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lithium Australia NL stock, see the AU:LIT Stock Forecast page.
