Emerging Markets Report: Breakthrough

An Emerging Markets Sponsored Commentary

Allied Copper Corp. (TSX-V: CPR, OTCQB: CPRRF, FSE: S9G) ("Allied Copper" or "Allied") and its lithium-focused division, Volt Lithium Operations Corp. ("Volt" or the "Company"), have recently announced a significant technical breakthrough with their proprietary, next-generation IES-300 Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology.

This development is expected to drive continued improvements in Volt's process and project economics upon commercialization, creating substantial value for stakeholders.

Building on the success of the original IES-200 DLE process, which achieved an impressive 93% lithium recovery from oilfield brines, the innovative IES-300 technology has maintained the high lithium extraction rate while significantly reducing the amount of reagent required to treat oilfield brine. This enhancement has streamlined the extraction process and further reduced operating costs, positioning Volt to enhance project economics.

The IES-300 DLE technology features a two-stage process: firstly, proven equipment and established processes effectively remove up to 99% of contaminants from oilfield brine in preparation for extraction. Importantly, the Company's equipment used to remove contaminants does not involve chemicals. As Alex Wylie, President of Allied and Founder of Volt, has previously stated, "We're taking contaminants out, we are not reintroducing new contaminants." Secondly, Volt's proprietary IES-300 technology extracts lithium from the brine, concentrating it into a lithium chloride solution. This solution is ultimately upgraded to lithium hydroxide, an essential raw material for batteries, particularly electric vehicle batteries.

Alex Wylie expressed enthusiasm about the breakthrough, stating, "Volt continues to execute our technically-focused strategy targeting profitable commercial production of lithium from oilfield brine, and be positioned as the first company in North America to achieve this milestone." He added, "With results from our current pilot project anticipated by the end of Q2 2023, we are excited to confirm that our next-generation IES-300 technology can lower operating costs by reducing reagent inputs while maintaining high lithium extraction—all of which are critical to generate the robust economics Volt is targeting."

As Volt progresses through its pilot project in Q2 2023, the Company remains committed to refining its DLE technology with the goal of further reducing costs and increasing lithium recoveries. This ongoing dedication to innovation and the pursuit of excellence positions Allied Copper and Volt as standout players in the rapidly evolving lithium extraction market. Allied Copper and Volt believe that the job is never done and will continue to seek improvements and advancements in their technology.

European Metals Receives US$36 Million Grant for Cinovec Lithium-Tin Project

European Metals Holdings (ASX:EMH,LSE:EMH,OTCQX:EMHXY) confirmed the approval of a US$36 million Just Transition Fund (JTF) grant for its Cinovec lithium-tin project on Monday (April 28).

The JTF is run by the European Commission, supporting projects that align with the economic diversification and reconversion of concerned territories such as Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

JTF states on its website that the number of supported projects varies annually, depending on the proposals. The grant also forms part of the European Union’s efforts to transition to clean energy and achieve climate goals.

Cinovec was chosen as it was designated as a strategic project under the Critical Raw Minerals Act in March, underlining its importance in Europe’s journey toward securing stable supply of critical raw minerals. It was also declared a strategic deposit by the Czech government, a designation that accelerates certain permitting processes.

"The grant funding will be utilised to fast track a number of critical path items with regards to the Cinovec Project,” commented European Metals Executive Chair Keith Coughlan in a press release. “This confirmation builds on recent project momentum and is another clear indicator of the support the European Union and the Czech government is willing to provide to assist in getting Cinovec into production in the timeliest manner possible."

Atlantic Appeals for Fiscal Re-evaluation for Ewoyaa Lithium Project

Atlantic Lithium (ASX:A11,LSE:AAL,OTCQX:ALLIF) is appealing to the Ghanaian government to re-evaluate fiscal terms regarding its flagship Ewoyaa lithium project, which is located in the country.

The company’s board of directors acknowledged media reports on the situation in a press release late last week, saying it wants to ensure the successful development of the asset.

Atlantic notes that lithium prices have significantly declined since the mining lease for Ewoyaa was granted in October 2023, and is urging officials to adjust fiscal terms based on current price levels. Lithium prices remained low in 2024, and the downtrend has continued in 2025, with some price segments falling to four year lows.

Adam Webb, head of battery raw materials at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said at the Benchmark Summit in March that lithium carbonate prices are expected to remain about where they are, at US$10,400 per metric ton.

“But if we look further ahead, from 2026 onwards, that market is switching into the deficit, albeit quite small to start with, and that will end up being supportive of prices,” he explained at the Toronto-based event.

Australian spot spodumene concentrate prices have also declined.

Starting the year at the US$990 per metric ton level, values contracted through the first quarter of 2025 and are now sitting at the US$765 level, a 23.5 percent drop from January 2024's price of US$1,000.

7 Biggest Lithium-mining Companies in 2025

For a long time, most of the world's lithium was produced by an oligopoly of US-listed producers. However, the sector has transformed significantly in recent years.

Interested investors should cast a wider net to look at global companies — in particular those listed in Australia and China, as companies in both countries have become major players in the industry.

While Australia has long been a top-producing country when it comes to lithium, China has risen quickly to become not only the top lithium processor and refiner, but also a major miner of the commodity. In fact, China was the third largest lithium-producing country in 2024 in terms of mine production, behind Australia and Chile.

Chinese companies are mining in other countries as well, including top producer Australia, where a few are part of major lithium joint ventures. For example, Australia’s largest lithium mine, Greenbushes, is owned and operated by Talison Lithium, which is 51 percent controlled by Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia, a joint venture between China’s Tianqi Lithium (SZSE:002466,HKEX:9696) and Australia’s IGO (ASX:IGO,OTC Pink:IPDGF). The remaining 49 percent stake in Talison is owned by Albemarle (NYSE:ALB). Joint ventures can offer investors different ways to get exposure to mines and jurisdictions.
