Lake Resources (ASX: LKE,OTCQB:LLKKF) is a lithium exploration and development company focused on producing high-purity, sustainable lithium at a low-cost from its three wholly-owned lithium brine projects in Argentina. The projects lie within one of the most sizable, wholly-owned land packages amongst the largest players within the Lithium Triangle — home to 40 percent of the world's lithium supply.
Lake Resources is primarily advancing its wholly owned Kachi lithium project which is approximately 100 kilometres south of the FMC Lithium (NYSE: LTHM) Hombre Muerto lithium brine production site. The property hosts a 2018 mineral resource estimate of 4.4 million tonnes of contained lithium carbonate equivalent. The report outlines an indicated resource of one million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent and an inferred resource of 3.4 million tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent.
March 2021, Lake Resources released a pre-feasibility study (PFS) for its Kachi lithium project, including a video webinar recording detailing the results. The PFS includes an annual production target of approximately 25,500 tonnes of battery-grade lithium carbonate using Lilac Solutions' direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology. The study was based on Kachi's indicated resource of 1.01 million tonnes lithium carbon equivalent (LCE) at 290 mg/L lithium. The study projects an operating cost of US$4,178 per tonne, totalling approximately US$544 million in total capital expenses.
Lake Resources has partnered with Lilac Solutions to build a direct extraction pilot plant at the Kachi project. Lilac Solutions has developed a proprietary ion-exchange technology for the extraction of lithium from brine resources. It’s capable of achieving high recoveries, at minimal cost, with rapid processing times, all while providing numerous environmental benefits —- particularly water preservation. The proposed plant involves strategic partnerships with Ford Motor and Hanwa. Katchi aims to provide the world’s cleanest lithium using its unique procedure.
Together with its technology partner Lilac Solutions, Lake Resources has begun producing samples of lithium chloride from its direct lithium extraction pilot plant module. The samples taken from the pilot plant have consistently returned high concentrations of lithium chloride, at an average of 99.97 percent purity. The process results in less water use, limited land use, and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Its technologically disruptive approach is designed specifically for scalability, with a modular structure that, “...produces high purity lithium, and can be ramped up quickly from pilot to commercial,” according to Steve Promnitz, managing director.
Lake Resources has appointed Hazen Research, a Colorado-based independent assay laboratory, to produce larger samples of its battery-quality lithium carbonate. Through its partnership with Hazen, Lake Resources intends to offer its product to potential off-takers and other interested parties. In addition to its partnerships with Hazen and Lilac, Lake Resources has appointed Novonix Battery Technology Solutions, a Nova Scotia-based independent testing and development laboratory, to create lithium battery test cells using Lake's lithium carbonate.
The Cauchari and Olaroz lithium brine projects are adjacent to one another and are surrounded by major players such as Lithium Americas (TSXV:LAC), SQM (NYSE:SQM), Ganfeng Lithium, and Advantage Lithium(TSXV:AAL). Lake Resources is currently drilling on the Cauchari project and plans to commence drilling at Olaroz once finished at Cauchari. Drilling at Cauchari has so far returned values up to 540 mg/L lithium on the project. Lake Resources hopes to prove that both projects are extensions of the neighbouring projects.
Lake Resources' wholly-owned Kachi lithium brine project encompasses 36 mining leases that cover 69,000 hectares in Catamarca province, Argentina. The property is approximately 100 kilometers south of the Livent (NYSE:LTHM) Hombre Muerto lithium brine production site. The Kachi property also covers a 20-kilometer by 15-kilometer salt lake.
In November 2018, Lake Resources released its maiden resource for the Kachi project. The report outlined a resource estimate of 4.4 million tonnes of contained lithium carbonate equivalent. The report included an indicated resource of one million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent and an inferred resource of 3.4 million tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent.
"We are very pleased to report such a significant maiden JORC mineral resource estimate for Kachi. The team advanced drilling within 12 months on an undrilled project and defined a large resource and located a project that stands alongside the largest lithium projects in Argentina," said Lake Resources Managing Director Stephen Promnitz. "We will expand the resource with more drilling and move into a pre-feasibility study using conventional and a direct extraction technology from Lilac Solutions which indicate high recoveries, low costs and a reduced time to production of lithium."
In 2017, Lake Resources completed a sampling and drill program at Kachi as well as a geophysical survey. The company collected 40 surface samples along the border of the salt lake that returned values up to 322 mg/L of lithium and 209 mg/L of lithium. The geophysical survey outlined a large, deep basin with brines between 400 meters to 800 meters deep. There is the potential to expand the brines at depth and to the south and west.
Drilling resulted in the discovery of a large, deep lithium brine-bearing basin that is similar in size to producing lithium projects across the globe. Highlights from the program include 308 mg/L of lithium and 60 meters grading 326 mg/L of lithium. The results also contained low impurities and magnesium content. Six of the seven holes completed remain open at depth.
In September 2018, Lake Resources partnered with Lilac Solutions to further the development of the Kachi project. Lilac Solutions has developed a proprietary ion-exchange technology for the extraction of lithium from brine resources.
The technology can achieve high recoveries with minimal costs and has rapid processing times when compared to using evaporation ponds. It also provides numerous environmental benefits as it eliminates the need for evaporation ponds and decreases the footprint of the operation. The technology also allows for the remaining brine to be re-injected into the aquifer.
"Lake Resources is delighted to be partnering with Lilac on a rapid, direct extraction process of lithium from brines. We have reviewed a number of technologies, and we consider Lilac to offer a compelling opportunity to be reviewed in tandem with conventional methods as part of a pre-feasibility study," said Promnitz, "The potential to reduce the timeline to production at low-cost is a major advantage in the current market with a constrained supply of lithium. Increased recoveries indicate that 300 mg/L lithium brine would produce similar volumes of final product as 600 mg/L lithium brine."
Lilac and Lake Resources plan to build a pilot plant at Kachi to demonstrate the viability of the technology. Lake Resources expects to be able to increase its lithium grade to 25,000 mg/L lithium and to produce a clean lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate product for the battery market. Lake Resources is targeting pre-production at Kachi in early 2020 at the pilot plant.To aid in the development of the pilot plant and PFS, Lake Resources has appointed SD Capital Advisory Limited to secure up to US$25 million to finance the project's development.
In May 2020 Lake Resources released a PFS on the Kachi property with a target of producing 25,500 tonnes of battery-grade lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), using Lilac's direct extraction technology at an operating cost of US$4,178 per tonne. The study was based on an indicated resource of 1.01 million tonnes LCE at 290 mg/L lithium. "The PFS highlights the cost-competitive nature and scale of the flagship Kachi project using direct extraction, but has the benefit of producing high-purity products capable of attracting premium pricing, while being a leader in sustainable lithium desired by Tier-One electric vehicle makers," said Managing Director Steve Promnitz.
The company is also in discussions with various downstream partners in the battery industry to secure future offtake agreements and additional funding for the project's development. In 2022, the company announced partnership opportunities with Ford Motor and Hanwa, a Japan-based trader. The non-binding memorandums of understanding for offtake proposal of the clean lithium provides meaningful financial opportunities for the company. Lilac’s ion exchange is proven through extensive testing at the pilot plant, allowing faster-to-market, high-recovery solutions that are environmentally sustainable.
The wholly-owned Cauchari and Olaroz lithium brine projects are adjacent to one another and surrounded by significant players in Jujuy province in Argentina. The projects are adjacent to the Orocobre's Olaroz lithium brine operations and projects under development by Lithium Americas (ICX:LAC), SQM (NYSE:SQM), Ganfeng Lithium, and Advantage Lithium.
Lake Resources began drilling on the Cauchari project, which has never been drilled before, in April 2019. The company encountered conductive lithium brines with values up to 480 mg/L of lithium at depths of approximately 186 meters at Cauchari. The results compared favourably with the results from nearby pre-production areas that are currently under development.
In August 2019, Lake Resources announced its final results which included a significant high-grade lithium discovery at Cauchari. Higher grades averaging 493 mg/L lithium over 343 meters were recovered and the highest result returned 540 mg/L lithium.
Drill plans are currently in the works for Olaroz, which has not been drilled before either. Lake Resources hopes to prove that both projects are extensions of the other projects in the area and is targeting the same aquifers as its neighbours.
The 72,000-hectare Catamarca pegmatite project is located in Ancasti, Catamarca Province and is 50 kilometers east of the city Catamarca. The project is accessible year-round. The area has hosted historical small-scale production for lithium-bearing spodumene pegmatites over a 150-kilometer area. Latin Resources (ASX:LRS) holds mining leases adjacent to the property and has received results of 4.9 percent lithium oxide and 7.1 percent lithium oxide from old mine workings.
The 290-square-kilometer Paso lithium brine project is a wholly-owned project in the Jujuy Province in Argentina. The province is adjacent to the border of Chile and is immediately west of Orocobre's Olaroz lithium brine operations. Lake Resources' initial sampling program returned elevated results. The company has applied for the requisite drilling and exploration permits to continue its exploration on the property.

Premier Health of America Inc. (TSXV: PHA ) (the " Corporation "), a leading Canadian Healthtech company, announces it has filed its Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for its third quarter ended June 30, 2022.
"We perceive divergences in provincial healthcare policies and management strategies and see geographical diversification as an important element of stability and organic growth," said Martin Legault, CEO of Premier Health. "We believe our recent investments in management and technology infrastructures will facilitate integration and leverage operations in other provinces."
During the third quarter our Premier Soin business unit's revenue remained stable while Code Bleu's business unit revenues decreased by 5.7%. The decrease in revenue at Code Bleu was mainly due to a temporary shift in the business mix during the quarter as well as absenteeism, a situation previously experienced by Premier Soin in the second quarter. Medical personnel are in recuperation mode and we expect a soft summer in terms of hours billed. This exodus of burnt-out health care workers has led to a surge in temporary closure of emergency rooms in Quebec and Ontario. Realisation of this situation by health care authorities and decision makers in Quebec has led to the government dropping some of the restrictions imposed by the ministerial orders in 7 regions of Quebec, and special measures in Ontario as well. Mandatory overtime is also targeted by nurse associations and unions as a major cause of frustration for the healthcare personnel. Taking all this into consideration, we expect an eventual stabilization in hours billed in urban centers, but little headway will be achieved before the fall provincial elections. Our northern regions business units performed in line with our expectations. Since the start of the fiscal year Premier Health Nordik signed contractual arrangements with eleven hospitals, mainly in Northern Ontario and we anticipate a positive impact of these contracts on the revenues before year-end.
Acquisition of Canadian Health Care Agency
We completed our first important acquisition outside of the province of Quebec on April 19. Canadian Health Care Agency is based in Cambridge, Ontario, and provides services in Northern Ontario, Nunavut and Northern Manitoba. The acquisition of CHCA starts our expansion outside of the province of Quebec and consolidates our market position in Canada's northern regions. CHCA currently has over 200 active and specially trained Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners in its organization. The Cambridge based agency provides us with a good management infrastructure in Ontario that will serve as a base to continue our expansion in this province. This is a strategy we are expecting to follow in other provinces as well. We anticipate over 25% of our revenues to be generated outside of Quebec going forward.
Premier Health is a leading Canadian Healthtech company that provides a comprehensive range of outsourced services solutions for healthcare needs to governments, corporations, and individuals. Premier Health uses its proprietary PSweb platform to lead the healthcare services sector digital transformation to provide patients with faster, cheaper and more accessible care services.

TIMIA technology loan portfolio includes 29 unique deals with current disbursements extended under those facilities totaling $46.0 million . During the second quarter 2022 TIMIA continued to expand its loan portfolio completing 2 new and 7 follow-on loan transactions, disbursing funds of $18 million .
Loans on Pivot's balance sheet include 14 unique deals with a value of $80.2 million . The most significant investment was a loan due from a related party in the amount of $60.5 million .
Total consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 , increased $3.2 million or 174% to $5.3 million from $1.8 million in the three months ended May 31, 2021 .
Interest income for the 3 months ended June 30, 2022 , was $3.7 million compared to $1.2 million in the three months ended May 31, 2021 ; income from transaction and other fees was $0.6 million in the second quarter 2022 compared to $0.1 million in the prior fiscal quarter; income from the settlement of loans and performance fee income was $0.8 million versus $0.5 million in the prior period, resulting in total revenue of $5.3 million .
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 , TIMIA benefited from increased payments (combined principal and interest) as a result of the continued revenue growth of its underlying portfolio and the acquisition of Pivot in the third quarter of 2021.
Total expenses for the 3 months ended June 30, 2022 , were $3.6 million compared with $0.9 million for the prior year. The majority of the increase in total expenses is due to additional headcount, interest expense related to the loans payable, and other related fees attributable to the acquisition of Pivot.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 , the Company posted net income of $1.4 million compared with $0.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021 .
As posted in the Company's MD&A, please see the table below reflecting the progression of the attribution of income (loss) between the shareholders of the Company and non-controlling interests over the last eight quarters.
As at June 30, 2022 , the Company's cash balance was $3.4 million and working capital was negative $20.3 million compared to $9.3 million and $1.8 million respectively as at December 31, 2021 .
