Company
Delivering on the
promise of DLE.
Our Mission
To deliver the lowest cost lithium production with the highest environmental standards.
We do this by:
Increasing efficiency
Multi-column system design captures more lithium per pass while reducing water consumption across the operating cycle.
Reducing costs
Higher recovery, regenerable sorbent, and disciplined plant engineering compress capex intensity and levelized cost.
Reducing environmental impact
Lower water draw, smaller surface footprint, and climate-independent operation deliver measurable environmental gains as a byproduct of efficient design.
Locations
Four purpose-built locations for commercialization.
Our operations span our headquarters and the areas where we operate, with an emphasis on hiring specialized, regional teams for efficient project deployment.
