The goal of Phase 1 is to fully operationalize the direct lithium extraction system from brines and associated polishing and purification units to produce a high-quality lithium chloride, which will support the production of battery-grade lithium carbonate.

All major equipment has arrived on site and the DLE system and associated polishing and purification units are now fully assembled.

The company expects to complete the assembly of the remaining equipment within the next week.

Assuming no major issues are identified through the operational review, commissioning is scheduled by the end of August, commencing with the introduction of brine.
