A.I.S. RESOURCES COMMENCES PILOT PLANT TEST PRODUCTION
Vancouver, British Columbia – April 24, 2017 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX – NEX: AIS.H,
OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced the
first phase of its mass and thermal balance chemistry and phase chemistry testing, to
produce lithium carbonate, potassium sulphate and boric oxide from its Mina Guayatayoc
project.
The Company will pump and transport approximately 60,000 litres of brine from existing
pits to the pilot plant at Salta, where test production will be performed by the AIS
Resources technical team directed by Dr Carlos Sorentino.
Sample quantities of approximately 10-30 tonnes per month of lithium carbonate and
potassium sulphate will be produced in the pilot plant over the next 90 days. The outcome
of the test production work will determine the proportional amounts of materials required
to produce high quality lithium carbonate and potassium sulphate in a commercial plant.
The raw materials required for the testing and first batch of production have been
delivered and the necessary reagent licences and permits are in place.
Marc Enright-Morin stated, “The commencement of pilot plant test production is a
significant milestone for AIS. We look forward to delivering high quality lithium carbonate
samples to potential buyers.”
