Edison Lithium Files Technical Report for Sodium Brine Properties in Saskatchewan

Edison Lithium Files Technical Report for Sodium Brine Properties in Saskatchewan

Edison Lithium Corp. (TSXV: EDDY) (OTCQB: EDDYF) (FSE: VV0) ("Edison" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") compliant Technical Report entitled "Alkali Mineral Dispositions, Saskatchewan" dated and effective September 17, 2024 (the "Report") under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Report was independently prepared by Lynn I. Kelley, P. Geo., and is also available on the Company's website at www.edisonlithium.com.

The Company, looking towards a clean-energy future, views sodium-ion batteries as having a place on the future energy landscape, and believes the sodium sulfate found in the alkali lakes of the Great Plains of southern Saskatchewan, as a highly-concentrated and readily-available source of sodium, may be a feasible source for production of some of the various sodium compounds required for battery production.

Nathan Rotstein, Chief Executive Officer of Edison, commented, "Sodium-ion batteries present a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional lithium-ion technology, primarily due to the abundance and lower cost of sodium. With Saskatchewan's rich resources, we are committed to developing this critical resource in the province, positioning Edison as a key player in the advancement of sodium-ion battery technology to not only enhance battery safety and performance, especially in colder climates where the sodium-ion battery has a significant performance edge over the lithium-ion battery, but also contribute to Canada's clean energy initiatives."

The Report is with respect to alkali dispositions, as held by Edison Saskatchewan Resources Corp. ("Edison Saskatchewan"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, on four alkali lakes - Whiteshore Lake, Ceylon Salt Lake, Freefight Lake, and Cabri Lake, in Saskatchewan, Canada (see Figure 1 and Table 1). The alkali disposition at Whiteshore Lake was acquired by Edison Saskatchewan earlier this year (see news release dated April 15, 2024) and the dispositions at Ceylon Salt Lake, Cabri Lake North, Cabri Lake South, and Freefight Lake were acquired by Edison Saskatchewan in 2023 (see news release dated August 25, 2023).

The acquisition of the sodium brine claims described herein was driven by interest in Sodium-Ion battery formulations. For information on Sodium-Ion batteries, visit www.sodiumbatteryhub.com.

VIDEO: Altech Batteries Ltd  Silumina Anodes Project Update

VIDEO: Altech Batteries Ltd Silumina Anodes Project Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC) (FRA:A3Y) (OTCMKTS:ALTHF) is pleased to provide an update of the Silumina AnodesTM Project. This Company's game changing technology incorporates high-capacity silicon into lithium-ion batteries. Through in house R&D, the Company has cracked the "silicon code" and successfully achieved a 30% higher energy battery with improved cyclability or battery life. The Company's proprietary silicon product is registered as Silumina AnodesTM.

Highlights

- Spherisation of coated silicon particles- newest technological development

- Positioned in voids of graphite layer - further reducing impact of swelling

- Optimised 5% silicon content gives 50% capacity increase

- Pilot plant in Germany now operational

- All challenges resolved and ready for customer testing

SPHERISATION OF COATED SILICON

As previously noted, key challenges in using silicon in lithium-ion battery anodes include particle swelling, first-cycle capacity loss of up to 50%, and rapid battery degradation. Altech's initial approach involved coating individual silicon particles with a nanolayer of alumina to reduce expansion and mitigate first-cycle loss. This method proved effective. Building on this success, the next phase of development involved spherifying the coated silicon particles and applying additional coatings to the spherical structures (refer Figure 1*). These spherical, alumina-coated silicon particles can be effectively distributed within the voids of graphite, helping to minimise long-term damage to the electrode layer caused by expansion (refer Figure 2*). By residing in these voids, the particles can move without exerting stress on the surrounding graphite sheets. Additionally, the Company's R&D laboratory has optimised silicon content to a 5% addition, which has delivered a 50% capacity performance improvement in battery applications. The improvement in battery anode capacity can be seen in Figure 3 and 4*.

SUCCESSFUL PILOT PLANT OPERATION

Altech is in a race to get its patented technology to market. To support the development, Altech constructed a pilot plant adjacent to the proposed project site to enable the qualification process for its Silumina AnodesTM product. Coated silicon products are now being successfully produced at the Company's pilot plant located at Dock 3 in Saxony, Germany. The commissioning process presented a number of technical challenges, primarily related to the equipment delivery delays, supply of SiC materials, poor flowability and handling difficulties of the ultra-fine silicon powders used in the process - particles measuring less than one micron in size. These powders tended to cause hang-ups and blockages within the system, complicating consistent material movement and process stability. However, through a combination of engineering adjustments and process optimisations, these issues have now been resolved. The pilot plant is now operational and has produced high-quality coated silicon particles. These products are ready for evaluation and testing by potential customers, marking a key milestone in the commercialisation pathway.

Group Managing Director Iggy Tan said "The next generation of our development, leveraging spherization technology, has successfully addressed the long-standing challenges of silicon-namely swelling and rapid degradation. We've achieved a battery with 50% higher energy density and enhanced cycle life, all with a modest addition of silicon. Our proprietary alumina-coated, spherical silicon particles represent a breakthrough in battery anode materials. Production at our pilot plant in Saxony marks a significant milestone, and we are actively engaging with potential customers for evaluation. This progress places Altech at the forefront of next-generation battery technology as we move toward commercialisation."
