In this episode we chat to Gene Morgan, Founder and CEO of Zelandez, who are experts in Lithium Brine-field Technology Services whose purpose is to accelerate lithium supply, which is why Zelandez provides cutting-edge technology that helps develop lithium brine resources faster and produce more profitably.
Gene has a mechanical background and worked in the Oil & Gas sector with SLB before starting Zelandez back in 2016 and talk about his journey and how they help Lithium companies who are either in exploration or production with their technology.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Lithium supply is provided by Zelandez through cutting edge technology, everything from geophysical logging, to resource and feasibility studies.
- Lithium brine is the resource with the lowest cost to production, but it's also the slowest speed to production, taking around 7 years to harvest.
- Lithium coming from the South American brines is similar to oilfield exploration and development, meaning that you are essentially producing what is a fluid resource from an underground reservoir.
- Zelandez started with the premise that oilfield technologies and methodologies could be applied to brine exploration and production, so a heavy focus on below ground is the foundation of thinking.
BEST MOMENTS
'Our first thought is always, how can we save the client time?'
'As a company, we are passionate about lithium'
'I entered into lithium as a result of love and oil'
'The internal combustion engine's days are numbered'
