Aug 04, 2015 (ACCESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / August 4, 2015 / Esmeralda Minerals LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pure Energy Minerals Limited (PE) (otcqb:HMGLF) (the "Company" or "Pure Energy"
is pleased to announce a collaboration with SRI International, a research and innovation center, to develop novel cost-effective methods for lithium extraction from geothermal brines.
Funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), SRI has teamed with Esmeralda Minerals LLC to develop and validate a new generation of highly selective ion exchange resins to separate metals from geothermal fluids more efficiently and at lower cost than current processes. Selective high-capacity sorbents have the potential to extract metals more efficiently and lower the cost of production of lithium materials. The research will be conducted using lithium-enriched brines collected from Esmeralda Minerals LLC's lithium brine project in Clayton Valley, Nevada.
Robert Mintak, Pure Energy CEO, commented, "We are thrilled to partner with SRI on this important project to spur the development of cost-competitive technologies that will provide the critical minerals required to build clean energy technologies."
