This presentation to the UK Geothermal Forum in 2025 explores the unique challenges and opportunities in the assessment and reporting of geothermal lithium brine Mineral Resources and Reserves. The presentation delves into the limitations of current CRIRSCO-aligned best practice guidelines for CIM and JORC, which are designed for salar-hosted brines, and advocates for the development of revised guidelines tailored to the complexities of confined geothermal lithium systems.
The presentation underscores the need for industry-wide collaboration to establish robust, CRIRSCO-aligned reporting standards that reflect the unique characteristics of geothermal lithium brine deposits. Explore how SRK is shaping the future of geothermal lithium resource estimation.
