When the DOW falls because of China tensions, I think SLI should see a corresponding increase.

What do you all think about the lithium carbonate price of $22,400/t used in the DFS?

I signed on to my free Seeking Alpha account and the website message tells me I need a premium account. I believe you can read one premium article for free when you first sign up for a free account. I have already used mine.

Austin Craig was interviewed for this MSN article and he mentions SLI briefly.

SLI is involved with Telescope Innovations.

SLI was working with Aqualung on a carbon capture project in 2022, but Aqualung is not related to Aquatech.

I read that Aquatech is working with Controlled Thermal Resources in California and with LAC at Thacker Pass. I believe Aquatech works on the crystallization/purification part of the lithium process.

My search produced 75 leases, but some look like several family members signing leases for the same number of acres. Possibly undivided interests in the same acreage? So I don't know how to calculate total acres. I looked at a few of the leases and they are five year Brine leases with a 10 year option.

Thank you for the highlights from the article. Someone had blogged that SLI was negotiating leases in Franklin County as I mentioned in a post on 8/30/23.

I researched mineral leases online and believe I have the shell company name for the Franklin County leases, but SLI is trying to be "secretive" about the Texas leases according to a Facebook post. So maybe I shouldn't share the name. I'm sure Exxon and others already know, since it was easy for me to figure out.

This looks like an interesting article about East Texas lithium prospects, but it requires a subscription. Does anyone have a subscription with Longview News-Journal? Highlights...?

The way I understand the relationship - Standard Lithium pays Telescope Innovations for Contract Research, but the IP belongs to Telescope Innovations and SLI will have only non-exclusive rights to the IP. I assume SLI will have to pay Telescope Innovations some fee for using the IP?

I hope SLI has some sort of advantage, given they paid for the contract research and Mintak and Robinson sit on the BOD of Telescope.

SWA Lithium LLC received a drilling permit last week for a lithium brine well in Lafayette County. Lester No. 1 depth to 9000 ft along Arkansas 313.

Is SWA Lithium LLC a subsidiary of SLI?

I'm not sure how Lanxess right to buy potentially all of the off-take will affect SLI's ability to find a partner to share the build-out costs? I believe most of the companies looking to partner may be interested in the lithium for themselves so I assume the new agreement will limit Lanxess rights to all of the off-take.

re: Diving deeper on Standard Lithium?

This is from the February 2022 agreement:

If Lanxess does not acquire an ownership interest:

Standard Lithium will own 100% of the Project including customary dividends, distribution, or similar rights;
Standard Lithium can elicit bids from other interested parties to buy up to 49% of the Project Company; and,
Lanxess will have the right to acquire some, or all of the lithium carbonate off-take produced at the commercial plant at a price of market minus up to 20%, to be agreed by Lanxess and Standard Lithium and taking into consideration several key commercial agreements (including the costs of brine supply and disposal for the Project, the Project site lease cost and rights of way, infrastructure, and other services for the Project).

Lanxess issued a press release. They will provide the brine and lease the land to SLI, but it looks like they will not be participating in the infrastructure for the extraction plant. It will be interesting to see who SLI partners with now.

Exxon has the following statement on their website and has named their project Mobil Lithium:

"We have the technology that can extract lithium with fewer carbon emissions, we can deliver a transparent supply chain, and we can scale projects that can reliably execute."

So Exxon already has DLE technology? A Nov 14 Reuters article mentioned Exxon had met with some companies such as IBAT and EnergySource, but as of the article date Exxon had not yet made a decision regarding the DLE tech to be used. Does anyone have any information regarding the DLE tech that Exxon plans to use?

ETNR has also been executing brine leases in Cass County.

Someone mentioned ETNR is a Schlumberger related entity? I see a relationship with Werrus Energy but no info on Schlumberger, so that may not be good info. I believe Werrus Energy is a private equity fund located in Houston.
Oil majors interested in lithium extraction as mentioned in a Financial Times article 06/24/23.

Schlumberger, Occidental, BP, Shell..

The article said two sources indicated Schlumberger was interested in the Smackover leases purchased by Exxon.

I'm not ruling out Tesla, as they are ramping up their lithium refinery in Texas.

This waiting is not for sissies.

From the June 30, 2023 Annual Report disclosures:

"As at June 30, 2023, the Company has entered into lease and option agreements for certain properties in East Texas. The leases are for a 5-year term with extension for a further 10-year period with the first renewal due or expiry in July 2027. The Options are for a 2-year period with the first set to expire in February 2024 if leases are not signed and additional payments are not made to the lessor."
And Phase 1A is just 5% of the Measured and Indicated resource per the DFS. They have great resources but are moving like the tortoise. I hope slow and steady wins the race for SLI. I'm getting a little jittery.

Standard Lithium was mentioned in regards to acquiring brine leases in Franklin County TX.
