Lithium Universe (ASX: LU7) has reported highly promising results from its proprietary Jet Electrochemical Silver Extraction (JESE) technology, developed in partnership with Macquarie University. The process has achieved 95.95% silver purity within just five minutes, comparable to Britannia-grade silver and significantly outperforming conventional bath methods, which yielded only 78.6% purity. Importantly, impurities were limited to just 4.05%, with aluminium and oxygen as the main trace elements, while heavy metals such as lead and bismuth remained exceptionally low.

These results mark a major proof-of-concept milestone, confirming JESE’s ability to deliver high-purity silver at lower energy demand, reduced acid consumption, and with substantially less waste generation than traditional methods. 

With silver demand forecast to rise sharply, particularly in photovoltaics and electronics, LU7’s innovation positions it as a leader in advanced solar panel recycling and strengthens its broader clean-energy and circular economy strategy
