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.
