Video of Pilot-Scale Lithium Carbonate
Production
CleanTech Lithium PLC (AIM: CTL, Frankfurt:T2N,
OTCQX:CTLHF), an exploration and development
company advancing sustainable
lithium projects in Chile, had produced a video highlighting the
recent lithium carbonate pilot scale production as reported in the
RNS published 21st November 2024. Link to video:

Steve Kesler,
Executive Chairman at CleanTech Lithium, said:
"We are thrilled that the Company, in
collaboration with Conductive Energy Inc. and Forward Water
Technologies, has successfully produced pilot-scale lithium
carbonate samples, providing verification for each process step.
The recent site visit video showcased the effectiveness of the
downstream conversion process and marks a significant step towards
the development stage of our lithium projects based on using direct
lithium extraction (DLE).
The samples will be sent to a laboratory to
confirm the grade and impurity profile, which is expected to be
battery-grade. The pilot plant will provide significant
volumes of battery grade samples for strategic partner
qualification. Congratulations to all the teams
involved."
Haafiz Hasham,
Chief Executive Officer at Conductive Energy,
said:
"We are excited to work with CleanTech Lithium
to convert the high-quality eluate produced by their DLE pilot
plant utilising brine from their Laguna Verde project, into lithium
carbonate using Conductive Energy's advanced chemical conversion
technology. This successful pilot highlights the potential of
CleanTech Lithium's DLE process and our expertise in downstream
processing to drive scalable, high-purity lithium production for
the global energy transition."

Notes
CleanTech Lithium (AIM:CTL,
Frankfurt:T2N, OTCQX:CTLHF) is an exploration and development
company advancing lithium projects in Chile for the clean
energy transition. Committed to net-zero, CleanTech Lithium's
mission is to become a new supplier of battery grade lithium using
Direct Lithium Extraction technology powered by renewable
energy.
CleanTech Lithium has two key
lithium projects in Chile, Laguna Verde and Viento Andino, and
exploration stage projects in Llamara and Arenas Blancas
(Salar de Atacama), located in the lithium triangle, a leading
centre for battery grade lithium production. The two most advanced
projects: Laguna Verde and Viento Andino are situated
within basins controlled by the Company, which affords significant
potential development and operational advantages. All four projects
have good access to existing infrastructure.
CleanTech Lithium is committed to
utilising Direct Lithium Extraction with reinjection of spent brine
resulting in no aquifer depletion. Direct Lithium Extraction is a
transformative technology which removes lithium from brine with
higher recoveries, short development lead times and no extensive
evaporation pond construction. www.ctlithium.com
