New Extraction Methods

THE PROBLEM

Evaporative Mining

Evaporative mining is causing a decline in the Great Salt Lake water level. Water loss from a Great Salt Lake Evaporative miner per year equates to:

  • 345,000 acre-feet 

  • 180,000 Olympic Pools 

In the midst of the current water level crisis at the Great Salt Lake, these kinds of practices are unsustainable and unacceptable.

THE SOLUTION

Waterleaf Resources

Waterleaf’s mission is to develop sustainable production of the Great Salt Lake’s lithium supply, without impacting lake water levels.

How:

  • Strong, proven project team

  • Application of Lilac Solutions’ non-evaporative lithium extraction technology
