AXcess News: Greenlight Resources Gains Edge in Lithium, Rare Earth Extraction Process

Greenlight Resources, Inc. (TSX-V: GR) (PINKSHEETS: PRZCF) may have
gained an edge in lithium and rare earth mining after announcing a
successful test of a chlorination process in extracting economic
minerals at its Brazil Lake property in eastern Canada that sets
the stage for pilot plant construction.
The patented technology uses a chlorination process at multiple
temperatures within a vacuum that produces chloride vapors. These
various gases are then passed through water, precipitating various
chlorides with the final stage being the production of SiCl4,
explained Dr. Ian Flint, the independent engineer retained by the
company to confirm if this technology could be applied to the
extraction of economic minerals from Greenlight Resources' Brazil
Lake lithium and rare metals project.
Greenlight Resources (GR) acquired the Silchlor, Inc.
chlorination technology when it acquired its Brazil Lake property
from Champlain Mineral Ventures Limited of Bridgetown, Nova
Scotia.
Greenlight Resources President, Christopher R. Anderson, said in
a telephone interview Tuesday evening, "This process is a
revolutionary approach to extraction."
Anderson went on to say that it "could open up a world of
opportunities" on other properties that are not economically viable
using current mining technologies once the process was proven,
though he was quick to point out that Greenlight Resources
agreement only includes its Brazil Lake property.
Plans call for further testing in preparation of building a
pilot plant though no concrete information was being made available
at this time.
