In addition to the ongoing due diligence, Stans' partners have secured a RUB$ 400 million (US$ 8 million) grant from the State Atomic Agency Corporation (ROSATOM) and the Ministry of Education of The Russian Federation.The grant will be used to advance the Project to develop an industrial scale prototype for the production of a lithium concentrate and lithium carbonate using the mineralized material contained within the Pervomayskiy Stockpile and the milling and processing technology developed by VNIIHT.
