A.I.S. Resources Commences Pilot Plant Test Production
Vancouver, April 24 2017 - A.I.S. Resources Ltd. (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."
