E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), “E3
Lithium” or the “Company,” a leader in Canadian lithium, is pleased
to announce its plan to build a fully integrated Lithium Brine
Demonstration Facility (the “Demo Project”) with the goal to
produce battery grade lithium carbonate from brines located within
the Leduc reservoir in Alberta. The Demo Project takes a
significant step forward in the Company’s strategic plan to develop
a commercial lithium facility that will reinforce western Canada as
a major lithium resource jurisdiction.
The Demo Project will be an advancement from the successful
Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) pilot program conducted in 2023.
The Company operated and evaluated multiple technologies,
showcasing the technical feasibility of DLE technology including
its own proprietary DLE. The 2023 pilot provided critical data used
in the recently released Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) validating
the economic feasibility of lithium projects in Alberta.
The Demo Project will operate a fully integrated process that
will include an increase in the scale of the DLE system and add
into the processes for the purification, concentration and chemical
conversion to continually process brine into battery grade lithium
carbonate. Additional hydroxide developments will be conducted
offsite. The objectives of the Demo Project are to unify the
necessary components onsite into a fully integrated process
replicating, as best as possible at a reduced scale, a commercial
system. This will provide real-time data while the Company
continues to design a commercial system through advanced
engineering. It will also provide samples for commercial
discussions with potential strategic partners. The Demo Project
will enable the Company to continually optimize and de-risk each
step of the flowsheet as it moves towards completing its
feasibility study.
This facility is unique in Canada and will serve as an economic
driver for Alberta’s battery supply chain. The Company will publish
more details on the Demo Project over the coming months while it
finalizes the design and operational aspects.
“We are thrilled to take this next step towards demonstrating
the production of battery quality lithium carbonate from our Leduc
Brine,” said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO of E3 Lithium. “E3
Lithium aims to be a direct supplier of products to the battery
industry. The Demo Project is an important step towards progressing
the Clearwater Project, providing samples to potential strategic
partners and an overall advancement for lithium assets on a
commercial scale in Alberta.”
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Chris Doornbos, President
& CEO E3 Lithium Ltd.
