LiTHOS Provides Q3 Corporate & Operational Update
"Our AcQUA™ technology continues to prove its effectiveness, especially in our collaboration with
Taylor emphasized that LiTHOS is not just stopping at lithium recovery but is pushing the boundaries of innovation:
"We are equally excited about the growing interest in our TiERRA™ technology, a post-DLE solution that addresses one of the industry's biggest challenges—how to responsibly re-inject spent brine without continuously depleting freshwater resources. TiERRA™ is like a turbocharger for the DLE process, recycling and conditioning spent brine so it can be re-injected at scale, effectively closing the loop in the extraction process. This provides a significant environmental and technological benefit for companies while creating an additional revenue stream for LiTHOS, reinforcing our role as a leader in both innovation and sustainability. We have two large customers currently under contract with TiERA and look to immediately monetize this solution."
Key Achievements
-
Technology Validation with SQM: In partnership with
Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (NYSE: SQM), AcQUA™ technology successfully demonstrated the ability to recover high-purity lithium while removing impurities like magnesium, boric acid, calcium, and sulfates—critical for producing battery-grade lithium. These tests were conducted at LiTHOS's advanced facility inBessemer, Alabama . - Global Collaborations: LiTHOS is currently working with two multinational corporations in the specialty chemicals and mining industries. After evaluating all available DLE technologies, these companies have selected AcQUA™ for pre-treatment testing and are actively exploring TiERRA™ as a solution for fluid re-injection at scale. These collaborations reflect LiTHOS's ability to deliver transformative results for global players in lithium production.
Innovative Technology
LiTHOS is at the forefront of lithium extraction by moving away from traditional, environmentally harmful methods like evaporation ponds. The company's AcQUA™ technology is a patent-pending hybrid electro-pressure membrane process that increases lithium concentration without the use of fresh water or harmful chemicals. This not only enhances the efficiency of lithium extraction but also drastically reduces the environmental impact, aligning with the industry's growing demand for sustainable mining practices.
TiERRA™ technology complements AcQUA™ by enabling the re-injection of spent brine after extracting lithium. This technology eliminates the need for fresh water, further reducing the environmental footprint of lithium extraction while providing a closed-loop solution that enhances the economic viability of DLE operations.
Grant Funding
Building on its success, LiTHOS has secured Phase II funding through the
Intellectual Property Protection
In addition, LiTHOS recently filed a special petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to expedite the issuance of the fundamental process patent "Electro-Pressure Membrane Method for Recovery and Concentration of Lithium from Aqueous Sources."
Looking Ahead
"Our achievements this quarter are just the beginning of a transformative period for LiTHOS," said Taylor. "As demand for lithium continues to grow with the global push towards electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, we are confident that our innovative technologies position us to become a key player in meeting that demand sustainably. With the anticipated announcements of new contracts and continued validation from industry leaders, we are moving closer to our goal of becoming a commercial services company that not only extracts lithium but does so in a way that safeguards the environment for future generations."
