EMP METALS - PROJECT AURORA LITHIUM DEMONSTRATION PLANT CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

EMP METALS - PROJECT AURORA LITHIUM DEMONSTRATION PLANT CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

EMP Metals Corp. (CSE: EMPS,OTC:EMPPF) (OTCQB: EMPPF) ("EMP Metals" or the "Company ") is pleased to provide an update on construction of its lithium demonstration plant, known as Project Aurora, at the Company's Viewfield Project in Saskatchewan Canada.

Construction of the 8,400 square foot production facility building commenced in mid-September. EMP is currently underway with the balance of the on-site work ( see Figure 1 ), focused now on finalizing the building and the interior finishing, and fully on track for completion in early November. The next phase installation of electrical work is set to begin in the New Year. Currently, production equipment skids are being built at Saltworks Technologies Inc.'s production facility in Richmond, BC and are expected to begin shipping to site in Q1 2026.

Paul Schubach , COO of EMP Metals, commented, "We are pleased with the progress on the building and site development for our demonstration plant at our core Viewfield site. Focus remains on delivering a high quality, cost-effective build with integrated environmental controls to ensure Project Aurora operation is set up for success. We are on schedule to hit our construction milestones in preparation to receive processing equipment in early 2026."

The Project Aurora demo plant will establish, test, and optimize a wellhead connected, continuous flow, modular Hub and Spoke lithium extraction and refining model. The on-site program aims to unlock performance improvements and cost savings while de-risking future investments. Project Aurora, a joint initiative between EMP Metals Corp. and Saltworks, is aimed at driving down costs, simplification, and leveraging the best available and most economic technology while optimizing a complete lithium system, from well to battery chemical. As part of the collaborative's launch, Saltworks will advance full-scale plant design and cost estimates for a 3,000+ tonne per year modular, repeatable commercial refinery for EMP Metals utilizing data and insights from the demo plant project.
