Corporate presentation summary
30 Mar, 2026Strategic vision and positioning
Aims to become a leading low-cost, sustainable U.S. lithium producer with near-term commercial-scale production using innovative technologies in Arkansas and Texas.
Focuses on building projects with global partners in regions with strong stakeholder and regulatory support.
Four-pillar strategy: secure top resources, unlock with proven technology, de-risk with partnerships, and align with key offtake partners.
Project portfolio and resource highlights
South West Arkansas (SWA) Project targets first commercial production in 2029 with initial capacity of 22,500 tpa lithium carbonate and a 20+ year operating life.
East Texas (Franklin Project) holds a maiden inferred resource of 2.2Mt LCE, with average lithium concentration of 668 mg/L and potential for 100,000+ tpa LCE production across three projects.
Smackover Formation offers some of the highest lithium brine concentrations in North America, with extensive infrastructure and geological data.
Technology and operational de-risking
Commercial-scale demonstration plant has processed 40 million gallons of brine since 2020, achieving >95% lithium recovery and >99% contaminant rejection.
Aquatech’s Lithium Selective Sorption (LSS) technology is regionally exclusive and underpins the SWA Project, with performance guarantees for recovery and purity.
Successful field test at SWA exceeded key criteria, supporting engineering design and definitive feasibility study (DFS).
