In a recent development at Standard Lithium Ltd., a significant player in lithium development nearing commercialization, the company has selected Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC for key service provision.
Standard Lithium Ltd. a Vancouver-based lithium development firm, is taking substantial steps towards operationalizing its South West Arkansas (SWA) Project. The development was made public on Jan 24, 2024 with the announcement of Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC (Ausenco) being selected to complete the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) services for the project.
Trading under the ticker symbols TSXV:SLI, NYSE American:SLI, and FRA:S5L, Standard Lithium is leading the charge in lithium developments close to commercialization, a step anticipated by investors and enthusiasts in the lithium industry.
According to the announcement, the Ausenco team will embark on the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), a crucial exercise in project appraisal. The DFS involves a comprehensive analysis of key aspects including technical considerations, logistical arrangements, and economic viability among others.
Simultaneously, the company also announced that Ausenco will take on the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) services for the project. FEED is a detailed engineering design process that follows a project’s feasibility study. It involves fleshing out a project’s details to minimize room for error during project implementation.
The SWA Project, the subject of the DFS and FEED, marks a significant landmark for Standard Lithium as it edges closer to commercial lithium production. The involvement of Ausenco, a reputable engineering firm, is an indication of Standard Lithium’s seriousness regarding the project’s viability and its potential fruitful returns.
However, full details about the project or the terms of the partnership between Standard Lithium Ltd. and Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC were not immediately available.
