Montréal, Nov 9, 2021 - St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CNSX:SX.CN) (OTC:SXOOF) (FSE:85G1) is pleased to announce that it has successfully advanced its metallurgical process allowing the production of lithium carbonate and hydroxide alongside the production of fertilizer by-products and now high-grade alumina by-production. Alumina or AI2O3 was present in most hard rock and clay resources reviewed by the Company.
This month, the Company is expecting to initiate processing trials to achieve 99.9% alumina purity as a first milestone with the intention to continue improving product purity. This process improvement follows the Company's core strategy of making valuable low-carbon by-products while keeping chemical losses to a minimum.
