E3 Lithium commissions Phase 2 of demonstration facility

Phase 2 operations delivering critical reservoir production and confirming lithium brine concentrations to advance final engineering design work E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), “E3”, “E3 Lithium” or the “Company,” a leader in Canadian lithium development, has successfully commissioned Phase 2 of its Clearwater Project Demonstration Facility (the “Demo Facility”) and continues to operate the reservoir production test. Lithium analysis of the brine produced from the production test confirmed 75.8 mg/L lithium, demonstrating the continued consistency of the brine chemistry across the Clearwater and greater Bashaw District. The current operations at the Demo Facility are facilitating a reservoir test to confirm flow parameters over an extended period.

Brine is being pumped from the production well and immediately disposed in the injection well, all within the Demo Facility, enabling rapid assessment. The Demo Facility operations have achieved stable brine production and injection through the well-pair. During initial operations, the wellbore, through the Electrical Submersible Pump (“ESP”), maintained the targeted flowrate of 1,400 m³/day at steady state.

The data collected from this part of the operations will support the Reservoir Development Plan update, supporting the Feasibility Study. Following the production test, the next planned operation will focus on brine:gas analysis, supporting the design of the front end of the plant. E3 collects and analyzes brine samples at regular intervals during operations and has confirmed lithium concentrations of 75.8 mg/L.

The brine chemistry analyses have been completed by an independent third-party laboratory. These results and independent validation support the Company’s confidence in the technical foundation for its planned commercial development. &#
