The critical and specialty minerals box score for Tuesday was a pleasing 116-66-128 as the TSX Venture Exchange gained 17 points to 1,011. Alex Wylie's Libertystream Infrastructure Partners Inc. (LIB) lost three cents to 76 cents on 256,000 shares. The company says that since its refining system was configured for battery-grade lithium carbonate production in mid-May, every full certificate of analysis issued through mid-August has reported lithium carbonate purity at or above 99.7 per cent. That exceeds the 99.5 per cent minimum purity commonly specified for battery-grade lithium carbonate.

This, the company enthuses, demonstrates consistent lithium carbonate purity across repeated production campaigns. "Everything starts with operations," blathered Mr. Wylie, Libertystream's president and chief executive officer, noting that three months of production at battery-grade purity "demonstrates the repeatability of our process." And so, he adds, "customer work spanning seven organizations, and our first definitive offtake agreement, reflect market interest in our product."
