Description

The Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering a technology licensing opportunity for LiSA, a field-deployable, polymer-based sensing platform that enables rapid, in situ detection of lithium in geothermal brines and clay-rich formations. This technology has the potential to accelerate resource validation, reduce exploration risk, and lower costs for companies involved in lithium mining and mineral exploration, geothermal energy development, and direct lithium extraction. The key advantages of LiSA include its field-deployable and portable design, in situ measurement capabilities, faster decision-making, lower exploration costs, and adaptability to harsh environments. * Field-deployable and portable design * In situ measurement capabilities * Faster decision-making * Lower exploration costs * Adaptability to harsh environments * Potential extension to other critical minerals

Budget estimate

$200,000 – $5,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as it depends on various factors such as the terms of the licensing agreement, the type of license granted, and the revenue generated by the licensee. However, considering the potential applications of LiSA in the lithium mining and mineral exploration industry, the budget could be substantial. The licensing fee could range from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars, depending on the terms of the agreement. Additionally, the licensee may also be required to pay royalties on the sales of products or services that utilize the LiSA technology.
