Arizona Lithium (ASX:AZL) is pleased to provide a progress update for the commercial scale proof of concept facility at Pad #1 and further outlay the development plan for the Prairie Project. The Prairie Project will be put into production across three phases of development. Phases I, II, and III represent the methodical steps being taken to cost-effectively bring the project into production while minimising the risk associated with commercialising a first-of-its-kind process.

????????????????????

• Updated strategic phased development plan has been implemented for the Prairie Lithium Project.

• Phase I will see the Prairie Lithium Project go into production at Pad #1 using a commercial-scale DLE unit capable of producing 150tpa of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE).

• To get into production, only AUD35m (USD22m) required to spend on Phase 1 CAPEX.

• Non-dilutive capital initiatives currently being considered with multiple potential strategic partners completing extensive due diligence on the Prairie Lithium Project, in addition to existing Government grants and loans being considered as well as traditional debt financing solutions.

• First commercial production marks the first Company in North America to reach this milestone.

• De-risking by a commercial scale proof of concept allows production to be increased by rapid replication of the process at Pad #1.

• Construction work will commence at Pad #1 in Q2 2025.

• Phase 2 will immediately expand the facility with additional commercial-scale DLE units. Additional units can be rapidly deployed to increase production at Pad #1. Phase III will see the Pad design replicated across the already drilled and de-risked Pad #2, and Pad #3. Additional Pad locations are also being finalised in 2025.

• Grey Owl Engineering has been engaged for facility engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). Grey Owl is a leading Western Canadian oil & gas facilities engineering company.

• The Prairie Lithium Project in Canada is perfectly positioned to feed battery-grade lithium carbonate into the mature Asian battery market. Battery-grade samples produced from the Prairie project are currently being distributed and tested in Asia.

Some Eturd clown trying to dump 12K @ .42...What a fool!

Have you seen the price of LAC, SLI, ALB, SQM lately?

Like TC says, as long as the Li price is down, we aren't going anywhere. Tariffs may bring the price of Li up.

WTF? Is a new logo the best they can do? This is getting ridiculous. All BS and no meaningful action. If you claim to be a hotshot "lithium extracton operation," then start extracting some lithium. Damn it.

As International Battery Metals enters a new era as a commercial lithium producer, we’re excited to unveil our refreshed logo, a reflection of where we are today and where we’re headed as we help build a new lithium industry in the U.S. and beyond.

The new design represents momentum and progress as we establish ourselves as the first commercial direct lithium extraction operation in North America and the only modular DLE operation in the world. The upward arrow in the “A” signifies forward movement, while the blue and green reflect our continued commitment to more sustainable lithium production.

This is more than a new look; it marks IBAT’s evolution from a pioneering technology company to a commercial lithium producer.

Thank you to our team, investors and partners who share our vision. This is yet another milestone in IBAT’s journey. Stay tuned for what’s next.

Hmmmm, on US soil.

I would agree.

Glad to see IBAT is starting to garner attention for our landmark proprietary DLE technology and first commercial operations in North America. A new report from research firm IDTechX, “Direct Lithium Extraction 2025-2035: Technologies, Players, Markets and Forecasts” forecasts lithium demand to grow at a CAGR of 15% from 2024-2035 – despite complicated market dynamics. The report highlights International Battery Metals Ltd. as a key commercial player and cites DLE as the fastest extraction method available, important for meeting lithium market demands. IDTechX found: “New lithium extraction technologies offer a route to quickly increasing the supply of lithium at potentially competitive prices. They can also help enable more localized lithium supply chains.”

29 years. That’s how long it takes for a U.S. lithium mine to go from discovery to production. Too slow to meet demand.

IBAT is changing the game. Our commercial, proprietary modular Direct Lithium Extraction technology is built, deployed and operational in as little as 18 months, far faster than the 5-7 years for other DLE projects or up to 15 years for hard-rock mining. Our Utah plant proved it—commercial operations and production, from deployment to commissioning in just three months.

Yet, as this Heatmap story shows, the conversation still ignores DLE. It’s time to move beyond slow, resource-intensive mining and embrace faster, more sustainable solutions.

IBAT’s proprietary technology is the alternative. We’re ready to deliver.

Does DLE and new batteries (AMPX), combined make a Jevons Paradox?
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/james-crouch_for-anyone-who-wants-a-break-in-their-social-activity-7290114504753856513-svmc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
Jevons Paradox explains a fascinating - and often misunderstood - economic phenomenon: when advancements in a resource-dependent technology make it more resource-efficient to use, total consumption of that dependent resource can actually go up, rather than down.

The paradox was first described in the 19th century by economist William Stanley Jevons when he observed that improvements in the efficiency of coal engines led to increased coal demand. Essentially, because the resource became cheaper to use, it became more accessible to the masses and, therefore, more widely used, resulting in overall higher consumption.

It's a bit like when you promise yourself that you will start paying more off your mortgage when you get your next pay rise; but when you eventually get the pay rise, you end up moving to a bigger house with a bigger mortgage!

Jevons Paradox has been observed extremely consistently throughout history, especially when the direct underlying resource is energy. However, awareness of the phenomenon remains low, despite its significant relevance to discussions on energy policy and the sustainable development of societies.

Every organization develops differently. Depending if they used SAE or Metric.

IBAT was based out of Canada, therefore the Metric unit was used, and carries through, because that was the verbiage in all of development.

Now you drop a Unit on American soil and the Case Study written are under SAE values due to US Mag’s processes around development.

You have to read very carefully about other mining operations based out of America because their values are based on SAE. Same goes for overseas, easy to understand their values in relationship to IBATs.

Not going into math here because AI can teach the dumbest of idiots how to calculate those values. But if you read well you may catch on to others talking different languages but speaking the same thing.

I see why there may be some confusion on the ton issue.
From the 5/06/24 report: "The IBAT DLE Plant design capacity is capable of initially producing up to 5000 metric tons/year". Let's see IBAT land their plant where they can achieve that ideal. Close to 100 'tons' or 'tonnes' per week makes little difference to me. I'll gladly accept either result.

Thanks for the clarification, so I am used to IBAT using M.T. most of the time… Either way it's a substantial amount more than they advertise… IBAT normally in the past has referred to Lithium Chloride produced and more importantly it's now Lithium Carbonate at a dramatic increase in tonnage, might be time they update their website to let perspective customers know it's not 5,000 mt a year and could potentially be way over a 100,000 tons a year.

"The Company is anticipating that its patented design will allow access and a means to capitalize on diverse lithium-bearing brine resources. The current plant is capable of producing 5,000 metric tons of commercial-grade LiCl, on a lithium carbonate equivalent basis, each year. The same plant can be quickly expanded to produce up to 20,000 metric tons of LiCl per year, based on the capacity and unique composition of the brine resource."

It’s not Metric Tonne, it’s Tons.

The Metric tonne is a 1000Kg
Tons is 2000lbs

2nd off it’s not 25 Tons, re-read the first bullet below the Executive Summay.

IBAT'S MDLE Plant extracted enough lithium to produce >25 tons of battery grade lithium carbonate (+99.9% purity) and an additional similar quantity for testing and analysis.

Good to see that 25 M.T. was substantiated by IBAT.
Getting closer to the "BIG" P.R.

Procing 25 mt at the Utah Plant with 99% plus purity and not getting paid a dime not accwptible.Enough grattice..IBAT about to run soon..On contract news..$5,00 is probable.IMHO..but I believe we are going to move up.

Yep, many reasons.

But this one is probably the number one reason.
https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lithium

Number two some brine companies that (ibatf) test, they seem to sell their brines after testing. IBATF needs to put a clause in those brine test contracts IBATF gets 5 to10% of the sale of brines/property after testing if property is sold off.. We have been testing for free to darn long at least charge to test..

Possible and probable deal for IBAT here with AZL..Arizona lithium buys out Prairee lithiums 353,000 acres of prime lithium resourse,reportably even more high grade than all that smackover brine in Arkansas..Well pads already built and permits to extract lithium..just need financing as AZL CEO already stated in that webinar on AZL /Prairee..if you listen to that webinar...financing he said would be done in ist quarter of 2025..then this .01 stock should fly.IMO.. AZL CEO also stated that they would be using DLE, and would be producing high grade lithium bi before the end of 2025..IBAT plants could be built well within a year..PS..IBAT hired Prairee engineer Don Bender for a reason.He was pictured in that picture with IBAT CEO Iris Jancik holding a bundle of 98% high grade li bi from that US Mag adventure.A sample of things to come...The apple does not fall far from the tree.Enjoy that cliche.LOL..

You are spot on with the fact that those 200 plus employees from that US Mag plant need to continue on their great work with IBAT..They achieve great success thruout with a very large amount of contaminated brine at the US Mag plant, with the results being that the tech was tested/ improved, and the absorbent fibers proved to be highly durable..and efficient in extracting high grade 98% pure lithium bi.. Now that IBAT is battle tested and proven at the commercial scale level.IBAT ..IMO will hook up not only in the smackover regions, but possibly in Canada,East Texas, ..and more..The proof is in the pudding said another wise man here .Great point Trader.Hire up those laid off US Mag workers.

We agree with Jigar Shah that the U.S. must build out its own lithium infrastructure and, to do so, unconventional technologies will carry the day. All eyes are on the Smackover Formation, where southwest Arkansas alone could hold as much as 19 million tons of lithium, according to USGS. We know the region well; 2022 testing there by Galvanic and IBAT showed up to 89% lithium recovery with our proprietary modular DLE system. Now, as the first commercial-scale DLE operator in North America with a mobile plant design, we are ready to roll and scale, including in the Smackover, to supply domestic lithium for EV batteries and grid storage.

I looked at the transcript and at the 6:50 mark this was said, ringcon we were really at The Cutting.

So I asked copilot if Burba, ever worked there here is my coversation with copilot:


(Me) ringcon we were really at The Cutting
It sounds like you're referring to the work done by Rincon Lithium, which was at the cutting edge of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology. This technology is crucial for efficiently extracting lithium from brine sources, making the process faster and more cost-effective. Rincon Lithium was known for its innovative approaches in the lithium brine space, and their efforts have significantly contributed to advancements in the industry.

If you have more specific details or questions about Rincon Lithium or DLE technology, feel free to share!

(Me)Did John Burba ever work there and do you have a link for the management team and directors?
Yes, Dr. John Burba, often referred to as "The Godfather of Lithium," has been involved in various lithium extraction projects, including Rincon Lithium. He is known for his pioneering work in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology

For information about the management team and directors of Rincon Lithium, you can visit their official website. If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

Cannot trust copilot😔
(Me)What year did John Burba work for Rincon Lithium?
Dr. John Burba has been involved in various lithium extraction projects throughout his career, but there is no specific information indicating that he worked directly for Rincon Lithium. He is known for his pioneering work in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology and has contributed to several lithium brine projects in North and South America.

Rincon Lithium Project
https://www.riotinto.com/operations/projects/rincon
SALAR DEL RINCÓN, SALTA PROVINCE, ARGENTINA
The Rincon Lithium Project – a large, low-cost lithium-brine asset located in the heart of the ‘lithium triangle’ in Argentina – will be a valuable source of rapidly produced, high-quality lithium for the global energy transition.

In December 2024, we announced our investment of US$2.5 billion to expand Rincon, representing our first commercial scale lithium operation. Rincon's capacity of 60,000 tonnes of battery grade lithium carbonate per year is comprised of the 3,000-tonne starter plant and 57,000-tonne expansion plant.

The project consists of brine extraction using a production wellfield, processing and waste facilities, as well as associated infrastructure. We’re using direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, a process that supports water conservation, reduces waste and produces lithium carbonate more consistently than other methods.

This investment follows our achievement of producing first lithium at the Rincon 3000 starter plant in November 2024, only 32 months after completing acquisition of the greenfield project

IBATF is cheaper to market, I would think IBATF will start to get more eyes on them.

One of them big dogs are going to bite eventually. Some CEO is going to smarten up and realise there are 236 lithium people recently laid off that worked on the US Mag project and if you were looking at IBATF it would be a wise time to get the Unit and the people that just worked on the project.

SWA Lithium, the joint venture between Standard Lithium Ltd. and Equinor ASA, said Wednesday, January 15, 2025 that it has successfully commenced drilling a new well into the Smackover Formation at its South West Arkansas Project.

The well is currently at a depth of approximately 8,000 feet below surface and has a targeted total depth of 9,600 feet. The well location is in Lafayette County, south of Lewisville.

SWA Lithium is also undertaking an extensive field program to re-enter the wells drilled in 2023 to conduct detailed reservoir testing and brine sampling work.

All data gathered from this new well will be used to inform the forthcoming front end engineering design (“FEED”) and Definitive Feasibility Studies (“DFS”).

The SWA team is also conducting an extensive field program at four wells in the proposed first area of operation, The work consists of well re-entry, hydraulic testing to determine reservoir characteristics, and brine sampling and testing. In addition, large volumes of brine have been collected from the International Paper Company (IPC-1) to allow the field-based pilot testing to be operated.

The company said in a statement that work has demonstrated that reservoir properties are better than previously gathered in the preliminary feasibility study, and also, where lithium brine samples have been sent off for third-party analysis, the lithium concentrations are higher than previously published. Key data will be made public when available, and all relevant data will be provided in the DFS later in 2025.

Texas is where my guess would be.

State Oil and Gas Commission unanimously denies royalty rate application for lithium extraction

The Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission denied the royalty rate application from five companies seeking to extract lithium-rich brine in south Arkansas, a move that will require the companies to come up with another rate proposal and that will cause more delays for the commercial extraction of the mineral.

The five companies – Standard Lithium, Exxon Mobil, Albemarle, Tetra Technologies, and Lanxess Corporation – proposed a rate of 1.82%, which landowners in south Arkansas have argued is too low. During a much anticipated nearly two-day Oil and Gas Commission hearing that began Monday in El Dorado, the companies presented hours of expert witness testimony to make their case for the proposed payout.

The Oil and Gas commissioners voted 9-0 Tuesday afternoon to deny the application. The rate would have been a minimum rate set for over 500,000 acres of land the lithium companies have leased. The royalty rate would be multiplied by the amount of lithium carbonate produced and the price of the lithium to determine an annual royalty payout to the mineral rights owners.

Commercial extraction cannot begin until a royalty rate is set. The companies submitted the application for the 1.82% proposal in July.

About International Battery Metals Ltd.
IBAT is an advanced technology company focused on the development of environmentally responsible methods of extracting lithium compounds from brine. IBAT has developed a patented modular direct lithium extraction plant (" MDLE Plant ") which allows for rapid deployment to a resource holder's production site. IBAT is working with resource holders of oilfield brines, brine aquifers, and industrial customers with brine by-products. IBAT believes the modular design of its MDLE Plant provides significant initial costs savings to customers and the proprietary direct lithium extraction technology lowers operating costs by selectively extracting lithium from the brine while efficiently removing contaminants.

.......Thought from the start that IBAT's intention was to push the envelope and prove the mettle of its technology and equipment........and they have appear to have done just that.........Let's now see if the pudding comes along with proof !........

This guy rides electric scooter and cannot stand full EVs😉

USMAG was a blessing in disguise. Working out the filtration kinks...It worked well beyond expectations. If anyone? IBAT should get a shit load of money from the Department of Energy.

IBAT’s MDLE plant went through ~8,400 total cycles of operation. Analytical laboratory testing has
confirmed that the sorbent saw no measurable loss in capacity between the start and end of
operations despite being exposed to heavy contamination.

Lepidolite? Ha, ha, ha...just ask Liontown.

Not Really. Spodumene and Lepidolite are pretty expensive to extract and low quality...unless heavily subsidised. Lithium is everywhere, but, but cost of extraction, grade is everything. Take 20 million tons out of the equation. Brine DLE is the future.

Significant lithium price implications?
