E3 Lithium

03/26/2026

Last week, E3 Lithium attended the Swiss Mining Conference in Zurich, where the team held over 30 meetings in a packed schedule.
 
This week, we continued the momentum at ROTH’s conference in Los Angeles and CERAWeek in Houston.
 
At CERAWeek, the Alberta Government confirmed that the province holds the world’s third-largest lithium resource - further strengthening Canada’s position in securing a domestic battery supply chain.
 
E3 Lithium is proud to be leading the way by extracting lithium and converting it to battery-grade material - all in-house.

E3 Lithium is making progress on Phase 2 of its Demonstration Facility which will advance critical design and engineering for the Clearwater Project’s commercial facility.
• Currently completing two previously drilled wells
• Service equipment will be installed to enable reservoir testing/data analysis
• Expect to be operating the facility in April 2026
The Company also provided details on progressing its final phase of its Demonstration Facility. This will begin upon successfully executing the contribution agreement with Global Partnerships Initiative (GPI) which will fund up to C$36.5 million (announced last week).

On Friday, we officially launched Phase 1 of our Demonstration Program for the Clearwater Project!

To celebrate this significant milestone, we were joined by the Honourable Brian Jean, Minister of Energy and Minerals, Tara Sawyer, MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, as well as several community representatives and industry partners for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Following the event, guests had the opportunity to tour the Phase 1 Facility and learn more about the innovative technology driving this first-of-its-kind development.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the celebration. We look forward to sharing more updates as we advance through the next phases of the program and move closer to commercializing the Clearwater Project.

– E3 Lithium announces that commissioning of Phase 1 of the Demonstration Facility is underway and on schedule.

Key highlights include:
◾ Commissioning of Phase 1 has begun with brine introduced into the DLE system
◾ High-quality lithium chloride production will follow once purification units are online
◾ Brine on site will enable the operation of Phase 1 into early Q4, 2025
◾ Findings from Phase 1 will prepare the Facility for Phase 2 later this fall

We couldn’t agree more with the Honourable Brian Jean – Alberta’s geology is an extraordinary source of prosperity and opportunity. Dare we say, among the best in the world.

Combined with its reputation as a jurisdiction known for its business-friendly policies and a clear, predictable regulatory framework, Alberta truly stands out as a global leader in energy and resource development.

We look forward to continuing to work with government and industry partners to foster collaboration, drive meaningful progress, and unlock economic potential that benefits communities, industries, and future generations alike.

Alberta’s geology is an amazing source of prosperity and opportunity! It makes us world leaders in oil and gas production, brine-hosted mineral extraction, and carbon sequestration. Alberta companies are leading projects that will use our subsurface geology to mine for lithium and other minerals in brine, while other companies are permanently storing CO2 underground even while they us it for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). We support the simultaneous development of these world-leading technologies and are committed to a regulatory system that promotes the sharing and development of the subsurface.

I am very pleased to see the progress being made by Alberta’s world-leading lithium and CCUS developers as they work in our deep saline aquifers to produce an important new resource and to reduce the province’s carbon emissions.

Our government is committed to fostering a predictable and robust policy framework and a regulatory regime that supports both brine-hosted mineral development and CCUS. We are striving to design rules that further attract investment needed to scale these critical new industries and position Alberta as a preferred producer and supplier of lithium and the top jurisdiction for carbon sequestration and enhanced oil recovery with CO2.

Alberta is not just the best place in the world to invest; it is the best place to innovate and build the future of energy.
