The National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada has awarded jointly a $25,000 research grant to Dajin Resources Corp. (TSXV:DJI,OTCMKTS:DJIFF) and Dr. Pierre Kennepohl, department of chemistry, at the University of British Columbia.

As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Kennepohl, is a renowned specialist in Lithium brine chemistry with considerable experience in researching Lithium brines. The grant will enable Dr. Kennepohl and his colleagues to work with Dajin in the “Characterization and Speciation of Lithium in Heterogeneous Brines: a step towards more efficient and environmentally sustainable Lithium extraction”. In Dajin’s exploration at Teels Marsh, Nevada, they have encountered brine deposits that differ markedly depending on their inherent geochemistry and brine composition.

The team will work towards standardizing sampling protocols and analytical methodologies to consistently report results. They will also work on the most appropriate and efficient extraction methodologies which requires a detailed understanding of the chemical speciation of Lithium deposits in both the solution (brine) and solid (mineral) phases. A major impediment to industry consistent reporting remains accurate and efficient quantification and speciation of Lithium in real mineral and brine samples.

Dr. Kennepohl, noted that he is looking forward to assisting Dajin in advancing their understanding of Lithium brines as well as the industry in better understanding the physical properties of brines. Dajin’s President, Brian Findlay, is pleased to have such a high profile team of researchers shedding light on the complex chemistry of Lithium brines.
