Rock Tech Lithium received $262,500 from Ontario's Critical Minerals Innovation Fund to evaluate crude tall oil, a by-product of the pulp and paper industry, as a flotation reagent for lithium processing. This project aims to create a local supply chain for lithium processing reagents, reduce reliance on imports, and enhance sustainability by linking Ontario's forestry and critical minerals sectors. The initiative supports Rock Tech's broader strategy to build a vertically integrated lithium supply chain in Ontario, potentially lowering costs and emissions while boosting regional economic growth. The project involves collaboration with Thunder Bay Pulp and Paper and Queen's University and follows a previous successful ore sorting program funded by the same initiative.
