Standard Lithium Provides Pilot Plant and Process Testing Update

Standard Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SLL) (OTCQX:STLHF) (FRA:S5L) is pleased to provide an update of the extensive process testing work and pilot plant design being performed by the Company’s Scientific Advisory Team. The Scientific Advisory Team and other technology vendors have been testing raw lithium brines from Standard Lithium’s Projects in California and Arkansas using a new generation of lithium-selective sorbent technologies.

As quoted in the press release:

President and Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Andy Robinson, commented, “Standard’s Scientific Advisory Team has been extremely busy over the last six months developing and adapting existing brine processing technologies to integrate modern lithium-selective technologies; both constructing new mini-pilot scale facilities, as well as working with other third-party technology vendors. We’re now in a position where we have demonstrated proof-of-concept for these technologies and can optimise process flowsheets for the Arkansas and California lithium brines. We’re also delighted to be working with the team at Zeton Inc. and benefitting from their huge depth of experience when it comes to designing and building continuously operated, fully integrated modular Pilot Plants. In order to effectively manage the Pilot Plant design and build process, we’ve also added significant senior engineering bench strength to Standard’s team, and we look forward to providing more information on the Pilot Plant progress and flowsheet performance as we move through 2018.”
