Emerging Markets Report: Technology is Key

Emerging Markets Report: Technology is Key

 

    An Emerging Markets Sponsored Commentary    

 

Last month, President of Allied Copper Inc. and CEO of Volt Lithium Corp. (TSX-V: CPR, OTCQB: CPRRF) (the " Company " or " Allied " or " Volt ") Alex Wylie was interviewed by Martin Gagel from Radius Research and presented a deep dive into direct lithium extraction for li-ion batteries .

 

  Here's the breakdown:  

 

Wylie started by introducing Volt Lithium Corp, a lithium development and technology company, aiming to be North America's first commercial producer of lithium from oilfield brine. A subsidiary of Allied Copper, Volt intends to leverage proprietary direct lithium extraction technology, existing infrastructure, and management's hydrocarbon/water handling experience to extract the highly valued lithium, supporting the world's clean energy transition.

 

Wylie then went on to explain just how Volt will produce lithium, stating "technology is key." He said that in order for Volt to become a successful Lithium producer, it must focus first on the extraction technology. Volt has spent the better part of 24 months developing and improving its technology which has culminated in the Company's breakthrough, proving removal of 99% of contaminants from its lithium-infused brine and recovery of 93% of the lithium.

 

Key factors covered in the interview that are driving Volt's success include:

 
  1. Proprietary Technology: University of Alberta Nanotechnology Lab and Sterling Chemicals Partnerships.
    • Volt's strategic partnerships have led to the development of proprietary direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology.
    •  
    • The unique process enables 99% contaminant removal and 93% lithium recovery in less than 90 minutes.
    •  
    • Multiple iterations of refining and improving the process have yielded lower extraction costs and higher recovery rates - even on low lithium concentration brine samples.
    •  
  2.  
  3. Prime Lithium Reservoir: Long production life with an extensive, high-quality resource.
    • Quality lithium reservoir located in Alberta, Canada, at Rainbow Lake.
    •  
    • Approximately 435,000 acres of land with strategic permits and over 1,300 producing wells.
    •  
    • Multiple formations with lithium-infused brines show concentrations up to 119 mg/L.
    •  
    • Ability to leverage existing infrastructure and wells and reservoir size ensure a long production life.
    •  
  4.  
  5. Cabot Energy Partnership: Minimizing CapEx by leveraging existing infrastructure.
    • Partnership with Alberta-based Cabot Energy provides access to three multi-well batteries.
    •  
    • Reduces capital requirements by leveraging over $100 million of existing infrastructure - the brine producing wells are already in place and operational.
    •  
    • Access to road and rail transportation for lithium export upon commercialization.
    •  
  6.  
  7. Regulatory Advantages: Using established infrastructure eliminates the need for new permits.
    • Using existing infrastructure affords Volt regulatory advantages.
    •  
    • Local authorities, including the Alberta Energy Regulator, are pleased with Volt's planned responsible and clean approach to commercial production.
    •  
  8.  
  9. Management's Expertise: A wealth of experience in oilfields, brines, and fluid processing.
    • Volt's management team boasts extensive experience, ensuring the company can navigate industry challenges and streamline its path to commercial production.
    •  
  10.  

Currently, Volt is in pilot production (250,000 Liters), using the same equipment planned to be employed during commercial production. Pilot results are expected by the end of Q2, to be audited and delivered with economics associated with the near-term commercial production plan.

 

In a rapidly growing lithium market fueled by electric vehicles and renewable energy, Volt Lithium Corp's groundbreaking technology, strategic advantages, and extensive lithium resource position it as a frontrunner in lithium production from oilfield brines. By bringing a highly sought-after North American lithium source online, Volt is set to make a significant impact on the clean energy transition and secure a more sustainable future for the industry.

 

Demand for lithium is dramatically rising as electric vehicles and renewable energy continue to gain ground. There is expected to be a 40x increase in demand for lithium forecast by 2030 due to electric vehicle growth.

Top 3 US Lithium Stocks of 2025

As the global economy shifts toward electrification and clean energy, lithium has emerged as a cornerstone of the energy transition, and the US is racing to secure its place in the supply chain.

Lithium-ion batteries are no longer just critical to electric vehicles (EVs); they're becoming vital across sectors to stabilize power systems, particularly amid growing reliance on intermittent renewables.

According to Fastmarkets, demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) is accelerating, driven by data centers, which have seen electricity consumption grow 12 percent annually since 2017.

Lithium Market Update: Q2 2025 in Review

The second quarter of 2025 brought more downward pressure for lithium prices, as values for lithium carbonate continued to contract, slipping to their lowest level since January 2021.

After starting the year at US$10,484.37 per metric ton, battery-grade lithium carbonate rose to a year-to-date high of US$10,853.85 on January 27. Prices sank through Q1 and most of Q2, bottoming at US$8,329.08 on June 24.

Ekin Ober on Why AI Could Be Mining’s Most Valuable Tool Yet

For Ekin Ober, bringing generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the critical metals sector through her work at Aethos Labs wasn’t just about technological innovation — it reshaped how she thinks about strategy and sustainability in mining.

Now a principal at Kinterra Capital, Ober applies that broad, cross-disciplinary lens to investment decisions, emphasizing the importance of digital fluency, stakeholder alignment and long-term viability.

Her experience helps her identify operational bottlenecks and social license challenges early — essential in guiding assets like nickel and copper projects from concept to production.

Chris Berry: The West Must Invest in Refinement Now or Fall Further Behind

China’s grip on the battery metals sector has drawn increasing scrutiny in recent years as nations confront growing concerns around supply chain risk and resource security.

Through a blend of domestic output and aggressive overseas investment, particularly in Africa and South America, Chinese companies now command a significant share of upstream supply.

The country is responsible for roughly 60 percent of global rare earths production and controls over 70 percent of cobalt supply through its stakes in mines across the Democratic Republic of Congo.
