E3 Lithium Plans to Construct a Fully Integrated Lithium Demonstration Facility
E3 Lithium (TSXV: ETL, OTCQX: EEMMF) has announced plans to construct a fully integrated Lithium Brine Demonstration Facility in Alberta, Canada. This Demo Project aims to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate from brines in the Leduc reservoir, advancing the company's goal of developing a commercial lithium facility. The project builds upon E3's successful Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) pilot program conducted in 2023, which validated the economic feasibility of lithium projects in Alberta.
The Demo Project will scale up the DLE system and incorporate purification, concentration, and chemical conversion processes to continuously produce lithium carbonate. It will provide real-time data for commercial system design and samples for potential strategic partners. This facility is expected to be unique in Canada and serve as an economic driver for Alberta's battery supply chain.
E3 Lithium (TSXV: ETL, OTCQX: EEMMF) ha annunciato piani per costruire un Impianto Dimostrativo Integrato di Litio da Salamoia in Alberta, Canada. Questo Progetto Dimostrativo mira a produrre carbonato di litio di grado batteria dalle salamoie nel bacino di Leduc, avanzando l'obiettivo dell'azienda di sviluppare un impianto commerciale di litio. Il progetto si basa sul programma pilota di Estrazione Diretta di Litio (DLE) di E3, condotto nel 2023, che ha convalidato la fattibilità economica dei progetti di litio in Alberta.
Il Progetto Dimostrativo amplierà il sistema DLE e integrerà processi di purificazione, concentrazione e conversione chimica per produrre continuamente carbonato di litio. Fornirà dati in tempo reale per la progettazione del sistema commerciale e campioni per potenziali partner strategici. Questo impianto si prevede sarà unico in Canada e servirà come motore economico per la catena di approvvigionamento delle batterie dell'Alberta.

Se espera que esta instalación sea única en Canadá y sirva como un motor económico para la cadena de suministro de baterías en Alberta.
E3 리튬 (TSXV: ETL, OTCQX: EEMMF)은 캐나다 앨버타에 완전 통합된 리튬 염수 시범 시설을 건설할 계획을 발표했습니다. 이 시범 프로젝트는 Leduc 저수지의 염수에서 배터리 등급의 리튬 탄산염을 생산하는 것을 목표로 하며, 회사의 상업적인 리튬 시설 개발 목표를 추진합니다. 이 프로젝트는 2023년에 실시된 E3의 성공적인 직접 리튬 추출(DLE) 파일럿 프로그램을 기반으로 하며, 앨버타에서 리튬 프로젝트의 경제적 타당성을 검증했습니다.
시범 프로젝트는 DLE 시스템을 확대하고 정제, 농축 및 화학 변환 프로세스를 통합하여 리튬 탄산염을 지속적으로 생산할 것입니다. 상업적 시스템 설계를 위한 실시간 데이터와 잠재적 전략적 파트너를 위한 샘플을 제공합니다. 이 시설은 캐나다에서 독특할 것으로 기대되며 앨버타의 배터리 공급망의 경제적 동력이 될 것입니다.
E3 Lithium (TSXV: ETL, OTCQX: EEMMF) a annoncé son intention de construire une Installation de Démonstration de Lithium en Salmour entièrement intégrée en Alberta, Canada. Ce projet de démonstration vise à produire du carbonate de lithium de qualité pour batteries à partir de saumures dans le réservoir de Leduc, avançant ainsi l'objectif de l'entreprise de développer une installation commerciale de lithium. Le projet s'appuie sur le programme pilote d'Extraction Directe de Lithium (DLE) réalisé par E3 en 2023, qui a validé la faisabilité économique des projets de lithium en Alberta.
Le projet de démonstration va étendre le système DLE et incorporer des processus de purification, de concentration et de conversion chimique pour produire continuellement du carbonate de lithium. Il fournira des données en temps réel pour la conception de systèmes commerciaux et des échantillons pour de potentiels partenaires stratégiques. Cette installation devrait être unique au Canada et servir de moteur économique pour la chaîne d'approvisionnement en batteries de l'Alberta.
E3 Lithium (TSXV: ETL, OTCQX: EEMMF) hat Pläne angekündigt, eine vollständig integrierte Demonstrationsanlage für Lithiumsole in Alberta, Kanada, zu errichten. Dieses Demoprojekt zielt darauf ab, Batterie-Qualität Lithiumcarbonat aus den Solevorkommen im Leduc-Reservoir zu produzieren und verfolgt das Ziel des Unternehmens, eine kommerzielle Lithiumanlage zu entwickeln. Das Projekt baut auf E3s erfolgreichem Pilotprogramm zur Direktlithiumextraktion (DLE) auf, das 2023 durchgeführt wurde und die wirtschaftliche Machbarkeit von Lithiumprojekten in Alberta validierte.
Das Demoprojekt wird das DLE-System skalieren und Reinigungs-, Konzentrations- und chemische Umwandlungsprozesse integrieren, um Lithiumcarbonat kontinuierlich zu produzieren. Es wird Echtzeitdaten für das Design kommerzieller Systeme und Proben für potenzielle strategische Partner bereitstellen. Diese Einrichtung wird voraussichtlich einzigartig in Kanada sein und als wirtschaftlicher Motor für die Lieferkette von Batterien in Alberta dienen.

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
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.
