BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2024 / Pure Lithium Corporation "PL", a disruptive Boston-based vertically integrated lithium metal battery technology company, is pleased to announce it has signed a Joint Development Agreement, with E3 Lithium Ltd., "E3", Alberta's leading lithium developer and extraction technology innovator, to advance the design of a lithium metal anode and battery pilot plant and to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment of a commercial lithium metal battery facility in Alberta using Pure Lithium's patented vertically integrated Brine to Battery™ technology and E3's lithium concentrate.

E3 announced on June 29, 2022 that a lithium metal battery had been made by Pure Lithium from E3 lithium concentrate. At that time, the two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding to complete further testing and validation work. Since then, Pure Lithium has been using E3's lithium concentrate to produce lithium metal cells that have higher energy density than today's lithium-ion batteries, and do not contain nickel, cobalt or graphite.

Pure Lithium is a disruptive Boston-based company led by world-renowned battery and metallurgical expert, MIT Emeritus Professor Donald R. Sadoway, as full-time CSO, and inventor and lithium expert, CEO Emilie Bodoin. The Company's novel Brine to Battery™ technology unlocks unconventional sources of lithium to create a battery-ready electrode in one day. The resulting lithium metal vanadium battery is free of excess lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and graphite.
