Introduction
E3 is a pre-production company. We have developed a commercialization plan that includes construction of wells and test facilities to de-risk the commercial plant design, as described below.
E3’s Exploration Well Program
In 2022, E3 Lithium completed its inaugural drill program to confirm lithium concentrations and determine key reservoir parameters in the heart of our resource area. Information gained from these activities supports the selection of an optimal well network location for the planned commercial facility.
The data collected from the three well drilling program was fundamental for E3's understanding of the Leduc Aquifer in the Clearwater Project Area. The properties of the aquifer, the chemistry of the brine and the grade of lithium sampled in all wells demonstrate consistency. This concistency allows E3 to design and build its commercial facility more simply given it doesn't need to be designed to handle a large variation of fluid chemistry. More information and results of the drilling program can be found here.
E3’s Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) Prototype and Pilot Projects
E3 Lithium’s Calgary-based testing facility and in-house technical expertise operates a DLE Prototype on a continuous basis. In 2023, E3 designed, constructed and operated a DLE field pilot project to successful results. More information can be found here.
