Cypress Development Provides Update on Pilot Plant and Lithium Extraction Process for Clayton Valley Lithium Project, Nevada

 
 

  TSXV: CYP | OTCQB: CYDVF  

 

Cypress Development Corp. (TSXV : CYP) (OTCQB: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z1) ( " Cypress" or " the Company") Cypress Development is pleased to report a successful pilot plant start-up for extraction testing of lithium-bearing claystone from the Company's 100% owned Clayton Valley Lithium Project in Nevada . The first full test was completed with 72 hours of continuous operation. The Company expects testing to continue as it awaits final results from assays.

 
 

  

 

 
 

"The progress so far has been positive, and we are pleased with the initial results" stated Bill Willoughby , President and CEO of Cypress Development.

 

During this first test, sampling was conducted at six-hour intervals. Analyses of solution samples at various points throughout the plant were conducted using the ICP unit on-site. These preliminary results are encouraging, with expected to better-than-expected values. Final results are pending assays of these solution samples along with the samples of residues and precipitates, which have been sent to ALS Global.

 

  Performance within areas of the Pilot Plant:  

 
  • Leaching performed as expected, yielding solution grades of 350 to 700 ppm lithium.
  •  
    • Lithium grades increased and decreased based on material addition to leach.
    •  
  • The Lionex Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") process appears to be functioning well, yielding a return solution back to leach of less than 10 ppm lithium.
  •  
  • The primary and secondary impurity removal stages were combined to improve efficiency and are delivering low impurity solutions to the DLE process.
  •  
  • Solids-liquid separation and washing of the tailings appears to be performing very well.
  •  
  • Operating improvements are being implemented.

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.
