InvestorNewsBreaks – Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSX.V: SLI) (NYSE American: SLI) (FRA: S5L) Files Report on Definitive Feasibility Study for Phase 1A of Commercial Lithium Extraction Plant

Standard Lithium (TSX.V: SLI) (NYSE American: SLI) (FRA: S5L), a leading near-commercial lithium company, has filed a report containing the results of the definitive feasibility study for its first commercial lithium project, which is proposed to be located at the LANXESS South Plant. According to the announcement, first production for the project is expected in 2026, with phase 1A being the first U.S.-based lithium production project built in 60 years as well as the first commercial direct lithium extraction facility in North America. This phase includes the processing lithium-rich brine currently flowing through existing infrastructure and represents production of only 5% of the total measured and indicated resource of 2.8 Mt lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”), according to the report.

“The definitive feasibility study demonstrates strong economics, assuming initial annual production of 5,700 tonnes, and an average annual production of 5,400 tonnes of battery-quality lithium carbonate over a 25-year operating life based on proven and probable reserves of 208 Kt LCE at an average concentration of 217 mg/L,” the company states in the announcement. “Phase 1A represents a modest 60-times scale up from the operational Demonstration Plant, which over a three-and-a-half-year period of effective and efficient lithium extraction, has used the same brine that will feed the proposed commercial plant. The company expects to make a final investment decision for phase 1A in the first half of 2024.”
