Scoping study on Dakota’s Portugal project nearing completion

Lithium explorer Dakota Minerals has received the results of metallurgical test work on material from its Sepeda petalite project, in Portugal, paving the way for the completion of a scoping study in the next two weeks.

Dakota Minerals, which trades on the ASX and Frankfurt Stock Exchange, announced on Monday that initial results from the tests conducted by Dorfner-Anzaplan, in Germany, showed that battery-grade lithium carbonate could be produced from Sepeda material, using industry-standard, conventional methods of calcination, acid baking and leaching.
