re: Diving deeper on Standard Lithium?

Where is LLKKF after all the dominoes fall in your opinion? Outside looking in?

Did anyone see this PR that came out earlier this week from Galvanic Energy, LLC? They acquired 100,000 acres of leases in the Smackover and talked about the lithium resource and name dropped Standard Lithium. Things that make you go hmm....
I wonder if this is another clue in SmackoverHawg’s thesis of Standard Lithium trying to emulate Standard Oil.

Another potential partner?

Press release. HOPE for production by 2024 at earliest. Concentrations not as high. Transport an issue. STLHF has project in Mojave that is equal or better. They been developing it as well with Tetra and a chlorine company. Bristol Lake project. Info on company website. I'd said Salton sea area. It's close. That's one of their additional sources as demand increases and prices up. Plus the 30 brine sites Lanxess snapped up in Germany. I'm hoping for a SLI blitzkrieg that shuts the competition DOWN. Standard Lithium wasn't named that by accident. It's a tip of the hat to Standard Oil.

I so wish I was rich right now, so I could get that much richer.
I'll settle for a lower-middle class bump up to middle class.

I have been weighing out if I should add, waiting for it to see the 3s again. Think I am going to just bite the bullet, raise it up to 5k shares Monday.

Looks like they are operating as Saltwerx.

Does anyone produce lithium from the Smackover Formation?
Standard Lithium (aka Arkansas Lithium Corp.) currently operates a demonstration plant in conjunction with Lanxess Corp. in Union County and has plans to develop acreage in Lafayette County controlled by TETRA Technologies, Inc.

How does Direct Lithium Extraction work?
Direct lithium extraction (DLE) is a process in which dissolved lithium ions are selectively removed from the brine and processed into battery grade material. Unlike conventional lithium mining methods, which require open-pit mines or large evaporation ponds, brine mining operations, such as in the Smackover, use a closed-looped system with a very small, distributed footprint. Brine is pumped out of the earth, elements of interest are extracted, and brine is returned to the Smackover Formation.

I am confused, so this is direct competition also trying to use smackover?

Possibly, could be trying to startup since standard lithium built a working proof of concept.
Albemarle tried a similar pilot but failed.
Also the lanxess site extracts bromine and generates a high concentrated tail water. The standard lithium plant is processing the tail water and “cleaning it up”.
If another company starts up trying to extract straight smack over brine (which has decent / low lithium concentrations) it will be tough to compete vs the lanxess concentrated tail water.
That was actually one reason Albemarle moved funding from the Arkansas projects, to focus on the higher concentrations overseas to get material to market sooner.

That is a main concern I have with standard, having the best method doesn't mean shite if you get beat to the contracts.

Agree!

Mintak always says they are a technology company first and foremost. I took that as him saying they will provide companies with the technology to extract lithium (DLE). Hopefully Saltwerx/Galvanic is a company that buys up land resources and will partner with STLHF.
1 year ago Galvanic only employed 6 people. Here's an article about thier 2020 promising new business award. IDK if they are developing their own technologies or what, but neither of their websites mention it.
One company's plans to harvest 'rare earth materials' earned it 2020's 'most promising new business' award by the Oklahoma Venture Forum
They do claim that their brine contains 325 ppm lithium VS Lanxess' 168 ppm.
I sent them an email asking if they are developing their own technology or if they will partner with Standard. I'll post if I hear back from them.

He said the company soon plans to enter its pilot phase to test extraction technologies, which will require additional funding.
While desalination systems could play a role in recovering the materials, Galvanic is using different technologies to recover them before reinjecting processed water back into the formations from where it was taken.
The company will use a production process akin to secondary oil recovery work.

How do Galvanic’s lithium concentrations compare to other North American brine prospects?
Galvanic’s average lithium concentration is 325 parts per million (ppm). By comparison, Standard Lithium reports an average concentration of 168 ppm for the Lanxess prospect and an average of 199 ppm for the TETRA prospect. Additionally, Anson Resources reports an average of 173 ppm in the Paradox Basin, Utah and E3 Metals reports an average of 75 ppm in the Alberta Basin, Canada.

Lanxess is higher than theirs. And tetras. At least from numbers I saw in standard lithium info. And they have to have brine wells and facilities in place. They don’t. Just leases. And I’m positive I saw an ivory billed woodpecker on some of their best stuff

That's not what they claim. I do agree that SLI is lightyears ahead of them. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about, especially if they are doing this on their own.

Under their key consultants is Lilac Solutions. They are claiming 1 hr conversion rates. Mintak better get on the stick.

The article with GM also says they won’t produce any lithium until 2024.

I'm claiming bullshite.
ETA-Plus STLHF is producing as we speak. 24/7 with current demo plant. Did y'all not see them filling those 500 gallon plastic containers with lithium chloride in a picture that was posted? Hint...they're producing at industrial capacity and optimizing/streamlining production. Would not be surprised if they show actual revenue on this quarter report as I believe Lanxess was going to buy their initial production. Can't remember how much volume. Price not given.
