Lithium Carbonate

E3 Lithium announced the successful production of battery-grade lithium carbonate during Phase 1 commissioning of its Demonstration Facility. This confirms the functionality of its direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, achieving an average purity of 99.70% when converted to lithium carbonate. The company intends to continue operations through Q4 2025 for customer pre-qualification and potential offtake agreements. Phase 2 will involve production and injection well drilling to inform the Feasibility Study and Final Investment Decision for the Clearwater Project. E3 Lithium holds significant lithium resources in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

E3 Lithium Ltd. is nearing completion of Phase 1 of its Demonstration Facility in Alberta, Canada, focused on Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). All major equipment is assembled, and infrastructure integration is underway. Commissioning, starting with brine introduction to optimize the DLE system, is targeted for late August. The facility aims to produce high-quality lithium chloride for battery-grade lithium carbonate production. E3 Lithium holds a substantial lithium resource base and a promising Pre-Feasibility Study on its Clearwater Project.

E3 Lithium Ltd. delivered key Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) equipment, including a 30-column system, to its Clearwater Project demonstration site. This milestone advances the vital Canadian lithium project toward validation of its process. Initial operations will test equipment and aim to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate. CEO Chris Doornbos states this moves pilot results toward commercial scale, highlighting Canada’s strategic lithium supply potential. The project leverages Alberta’s significant 21.2 million tonne lithium resource base.
