Falchani lithium project, Peru
Name of the Project
Falchani lithium project.
Location
Puno, south-western Peru.
Project Owner/s
American Lithium Corp.
Project Description
An updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) has demonstrated that, with low initial capital expenditure, the project can potentially become a substantial, low-cost, long-life producer of high-purity lithium carbonate equivalent and a producer of sulphate of potash and cesium sulphate by-products, alongside lithium carbonate equivalent.
The PEA reports that the project is highly amenable for development by conventional openpit, drill-and-blast, and truck-and-shovel methods.
Envisaged is a mine and processing operation producing 2.64-million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent over a life-of-mine of 43 years.
Average steady-state production is estimated at 23 145 t/y of lithium carbonate equivalent in Phase 1, 45 084 t/y in Phase 2 and 72 624 t/y in Phase 3.
