Among the highlights, the company announced that it completed a competitive Front End Engineering Design (“FEED”) and Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) (“FEED/DFS”) selection process and awarded the contract for its first commercial plant to Optimized Process Designs (“OPD”). A Koch Engineered Solutions (“KES”) business, OPD specializes in engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction of commercial facilities. “The award of this FEED study marks a significant milestone for Standard Lithium as it moves the company and all our project partners closer to commercialization,” said Dr. Andy Robinson, president and COO of Standard Lithium. “Our internal project team went through a rigorous competitive selection process, and we are delighted to work with OPD and its partners in KES and M3 Engineering to design our first commercial facility and move towards an EPC contract and then to construction.

About Standard Lithium Ltd.
Standard Lithium is an innovative technology and lithium development company. The company’s flagship project is located in southern Arkansas, where it is engaged in the testing and proving of the commercial viability of lithium extraction from over 150,000 acres of permitted brine operations. The company operates its first-of-a-kind industrial-scale direct lithium extraction demonstration plant at Lanxess’s south plant facility in southern Arkansas. The demonstration plant utilizes the company’s proprietary LiSTR technology to selectively extract lithium from Lanxess’s tail brine. The demonstration plant is being used for proof-of-concept and commercial feasibility studies. The scalable, environmentally friendly process eliminates the use of evaporation ponds, reduces processing time from months to hours and greatly increases the effective recovery of lithium. The company is also pursuing the resource development of over 30,000 acres of separate brine leases located in southwest Arkansas, referred to as the South West Arkansas Lithium Project, and approximately 45,000 acres of mineral leases located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California. Standard Lithium is jointly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the NYSE American under the trading symbol SLI, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol S5L.
