06:11 AM EDT, 09/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- E3 Lithium ( EEMMF ) on Thursday said it commissioned its demo scale carbonate conversion reactors, allowing it to produce lithium carbonate using similar, yet small-scale equipment.

The company called it a major step forward in the its efforts to establish a reliable lithium production facility in Alberta.

"This achievement expands our in-house capabilities from advancing DLE [direct llithium extraction] to producing battery grade lithium carbonate," said President and CEO Chris Doornbos. "By expanding our Calgary lab with advanced equipment and know-how for producing battery-grade lithium carbonate, E3 can advance its engineering initiatives with more efficiency and lower cost."
