QMC Quantum Minerals (TSX.V: QMC) (OTC: QMCQF) (FSE: 3LQ) is preparing to mine lithium at Cat Lake, Manitoba. The Irgon Lithium Mine Project property hosts multiple rare-element granitic pegmatite occurrences, one of which is the Irgon Lithium Mine Dike. An article discussing the company reads: “The lithium there occurs in underground reservoirs of brines, and, to extract it, the brines are pumped into ponds where, through natural solar heat and atmospheric action, the water evaporates. Since the process requires hardly any output of energy, it is very cost-effective. However, it takes time; evaporation can take months. Consequently, lithium demand always seems to be outstripping supply. Supplies from mineral ore sources might be just the answer. In the past, lithium has been extracted from spodumene, lepidolite and petalite. Notably, the ores at QMC Quantum Minerals’ Irgon Property are pegmatite occurrences rich in spodumene.”
