Standard Lithium Provides Update on Its Operational Direct Lithium Extraction and Carbonate Crystallization Plants - Seite 2

Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium commented “Standard Lithium continues to execute on our key project milestones; we have successfully started and operated the industrial scale DLE plant in Arkansas, and now we are starting up our next-generation lithium carbonate crystallisation plant.  These achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented technical team and our project partners.  We continue to make significant strides towards commercial execution, and our large-scale pilot plants provide the necessary proof-of-concept.”

About Standard Lithium Ltd.
Standard Lithium (TSXV: SLL) is an innovative technology and lithium development company.  The Company’s flagship project is located in southern Arkansas, where it is engaged in the testing and proving of the commercial viability of lithium extraction from over 150,000 acres of permitted brine operations.  The Company has commissioned its first of a kind industrial scale Direct Lithium Extraction Demonstration Plant at LANXESS’ South Plant facility in southern Arkansas.  The Demonstration Plant utilises the Company’s proprietary LiSTR technology to selectively extract lithium from LANXESS’ tailbrine.  The Demonstration Plant is being used for proof of concept and commercial feasibility studies.  The scaleable, environmentally friendly process eliminates the use of evaporation ponds, reduces processing time from months to hours and greatly increases the effective recovery of lithium. The Company is also pursuing the resource development of over 30,000 acres of separate brine leases located in southwestern Arkansas and approximately 45,000 acres of mineral leases located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California.
