We are thrilled to join the Magnolia-Columbia County Chamber of Commerce and bring our expertise and commitment to responsible #lithium production to the region. Standard Lithium leads the way in responsible lithium extraction in North America. Our flagship projects in south #Arkansas are recognized for their exceptional grades and scalability. They also benefit from the supportive business climate, skilled labor, and a century of energy and resource development expertise found in the area. By utilizing industry-leading Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology developed in Southern #Arkansas to unlock the #lithium resources of the #Smackover Formation, the region not only stands as a global showcase for a #sustainable future but also a secure domestic source of the #criticalminerals essential for the United States' economic security, technological innovation, and national defense.

Today we announced stellar results from and successful commissioning of a commercial-scale #DLE column utilizing Koch Technology Solutions' Li-Pro(TM) LSS Unit at our Demo Plant near El Dorado, #Arkansas. This is the largest DLE installation, and the only example of a commercial-scale DLE column in operation in North America! The column is extracting #lithium brine from the Smackover Formation at a rate of 90 gpm and delivering outstanding results to date, including: average lithium recovery of 97.3% and over 99% rejection of key contaminants. SLI is 👏 on 👏 its 👏 way to becoming the next major sustainable lithium producer in North America.
