E3 Metals Scales Up with Construction of Lab-Pilot Prototype on Success of DLE Testing

14.09.2021  |  CNW

CALGARY, Sept. 14, 2021 - E3 Metals Corp. (TSXV: ETMC) (FSE: OU7A) (OTC: EEMMF) (the "Company" or "E3 Metals"), an emerging lithium developer and leading direct lithium extraction ("DLE") technology innovator, is pleased to announce that the Company's initial flow system test was completed successfully. The sorbent candidate used in this successful test will now advance to the Pilot Prototype testing phase. The Company has started the construction of the lab-based Pilot Prototype and has already prepared enough of this sorbent to complete the test.

The results from the initial flow system, outlined in the June 9, 2021 News Announcement, have confirmed that lithium from the Leduc Aquifer can be extracted while operating under continuous flow conditions, running over extended periods, and within the anticipated operating parameters. The process mimics similar operational conditions to the Pilot at a reduced scale. Further tests will continue on our alternate sorbents to ensure the technology will operate at optimal efficiency.

The Company is advancing its preparations to complete further advanced tests in a Pilot Prototype. The Prototype will be operated in the lab at high flow rates with the ability to operate 24/7. The Prototype allows testing at larger volumes and scale, over multiple test cycles that more closely resembles commercial operations, with fully automated process equipment. The Prototype is currently under construction and anticipated to be in full operation in October 2021.

"We are very encouraged by all the work that is coming out of our lab and are pleased to announce that we have broken ground on moving forward to the next phase of our development plan" commented CEO, Chris Doornbos. "We have in place a top-notch technical team that is continuing to deliver exceptional results that further advance the development of our DLE technology. We look forward to continuing to update the market on our progress and we expect a very exciting fall."
