LKE towards TOP-5, page-12165

Another Lithium Company hitching their wagon to DLE....and the ion exchange variety at that!

Citing the same ESG benefits that Lilac and Lake have for the Lilac process:
"For over five years, E3 Lithium has focused its efforts on designing and delivering its own Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology with the aim of producing lithium with low carbon emissions, utilising very little land and consuming minimal freshwater. The DLE ion-exchange technology quickly and efficiently reduces large volumes of low-grade brine into a high-grade lithium concentrate in one step, simultaneously removing nearly all impurities. This produces a very clean product for the development of high purity lithium compounds used in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries."

They are a bit behind LKE and are yet to release their PFS and have a goal of commercial Lithium production by 2026 following their upcoming in-field pilot plant....also using a closed loop chemical process.
