Pure Energy and its partner at the Clayton Valley lithium project, Schlumberger Technology Corp. ("SLB") focused activities in 2023 towards developing a pilot plant, at demonstration scale, for Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") technology from lithium-enriched brines. Mobilization and construction of the pilot plant was completed in 2023, and commissioning, or testing, of equipment and the proprietary DLE technology was initiated. Results at the DLE plant have been very good and have more than met expectations. Drill hole CV-9 provides the brine used for testing at the pilot plant and contains concentrations of between 180 to more than 220 ppm lithium in brine. The SLB technology responds well to these concentrations. Final testing continues at this time. In January 2024, Pure Energy received an additional 5-year finite-term water right enabling brine extraction and testing to continue at the Clayton Valley project.
The advantages of DLE technology are clear, and well suited to Clayton Valley lithium brines. Of particular importance are its efficiency in recovering lithium from brine in a matter of days vs. more than a year in conventional ponds; significant recovery of precious, clean water resources for reintroduction into the valley's aquifer; plus, a much-reduced footprint and environmental impact.
About Pure Energy
Pure Energy Minerals is a lithium resource developer that is driven to become a low-cost supplier for the growing lithium battery industry. Pure Energy has consolidated a pre-eminent land position at its Clayton Valley Project in the Clayton Valley of central Nevada for the exploration and development of lithium resources, comprising 950 claims over 23,360 acres (9,450 hectares), representing the largest mineral land holdings in the valley. Pure Energy's Clayton Valley Project adjoins and surrounds on three sides the Silver Peak lithium brine mine operated by Albemarle Corporation.
Pure Energy's strategic partner, Schlumberger Technologies Corp. ("SLB"), is the operator of the Clayton Valley Project. In May of 2019, Pure Energy and SLB signed an Earn-In agreement over the CV Project which requires significant investment by SLB at the Project, to include the design and construction of a pilot plant capable of processing lithium-bearing brines for high-quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate ("lithium hydroxide" or "LiOH∙H2O") and/or lithium carbonate products at a specified rate. SLB plans to utilize both in-house and commercially available technology in the design of the CV pilot plant. SLB's costs, technical parameters and ultimate technology are anticipated to differ from the published PEA. For further details regarding SLB's participation, please refer to Pure Energy's Annual General and Special Meeting Management Information Circular dated April 4, 2019, available on www.sedarplus.ca.
