Our Technology & Social Impact

With our proprietary and revolutionary technology, Sorcia Minerals will be able to produce high quality lithium at a much lower cost than the current industry standard.

Enviromental Advantages

With Sorcia Minerals' unique Selection Absorption technology, solar evaporation ponds are eliminated. Salt piles and lime plants are also bypassed by the water control system that recycles greater than 98% of process waters in return for a more efficient use of natural resources like magnesium or calcium carbonate.

Lithium Extraction Technology

We strive to enable the battery industry to realize the full potential of renewable energy.

 

Lithium Brine Extraction

Our unique technology can quickly get us to the production stage, which is essential to our strategy to set us apart from all of other lithium companies.

Lithium Brine Extraction-1

 

 

Mobile Lithium Extraction Process

The technology we've created would be the lowest cost producer of lithium using this proven and proprietary process from brines that contain a high proportion of Lithium. This means it can produce products including LiCl, LiCO3 & hydroxides at prices similar to current low-cost producers.

Sources for Lithium Extraction

Ideal Lithium Baring Brines

Along with evaluating and potentially licensing lithium extraction process, Sorcia Minerals has also begun its efforts to secure access to lithium baring brines that are ideal for lithium extraction from brine.

Key Selection Criteria 

  • Documentation of high lithium and TDS content of brine

  • Volume of brine potentially available and materiality of potential developed asset

  • Availability of existing brine production infrastructure

  • Ownership and whether present owner is motivated to sell or lease access

  • Geologic certainty of resources, focus on low/no risk

  • Factors affecting title and certainty of ownership

  • Expansion possibilities

  • Operating costs

  • Labor market considerations

  • Surface access considerations

  • Regulatory environment considerations

  • Energy availability (for process heat)

  • Takeaway transportation nearby including rail lines and roadways
