Global Lithium Resources Limited has named Perth-based Wave International as the Manna Lithium Project’s Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) lead engineer.
Global Lithium appointed Wave to conduct metallurgical testing to support the DFS at the Manna Lithium Project in January 2023. According to Global Lithium, Wave is responsible for defining and testing the metallurgical upgrading method to generate a spodumene concentrate at the Manna Lithium Project.
Wave will combine the numerous mining and engineering disciplines into a single consolidated DFS report as part of the DFS scope of work. Global Lithium aims to conclude the DFS in late Q4 2023 to achieve a Final Investment Decision in CY2024.
“We have been working with Wave closely for the last couple of months as we proceed with the commencement of the Manna DFS. With their team’s collective experience within the lithium space, they offer an unrivalled advantage within our industry to assist us with progressing Manna and we are pleased to widen their appointment to include lead engineer for the DFS,” Global Lithium Project Director Dr Tony Chamberlain said.
Wave International Director and COO Robin Macaskill expressed the company’s excitement that its partnership with Global Lithium will continue after the recent publication of their Scoping Study, which confirms the feasibility of a very competitive lithium project in Western Australia.
“The board and management team possess impressive expertise, and they are dedicated to deliver the Manna Project. By combining Global Lithium’s clear vision with Wave’s industry-leading experience and innovative approach to project delivery, we are embarking on a truly exciting venture in an equally exciting market sector,” Macaskill added.
