Standard Lithium Company Profile

Standard Lithium Ltd. is a Canadian development-stage company focused on producing battery-grade lithium from brine resources in the United States. Its primary projects are located in southwestern Arkansas and are associated with the Smackover Formation, a region known for lithium-bearing brines.

The company is developing direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology designed to selectively remove lithium from brine before the remaining fluids are reinjected underground. Standard Lithium has operated a demonstration plant in Arkansas and is working to advance commercial-scale production of lithium compounds, including lithium carbonate, for use in electric-vehicle batteries, energy-storage systems, and other applications.

Standard Lithium has historically worked with industrial and energy partners, including LANXESS, to evaluate lithium recovery from brines produced during existing operations in the region.
