Novo Litio chooses path in Portugal

A scoping study into the Sepeda lithium project, in Portugal, has identified the production of a mineral concentrate to be the preferred route of development, with an underground operation likely to result in the best outcome. ASX-listed Novo Litio on Monday told shareholders that the scoping study at Sepeda had tested a number of processing scenarios, including the production of a technical grade petalite concentrate, a dual-stream concentrate and battery-grade lithium carbonate, and a lithium carbonate product only.
