LiTHOS Energy Ltd. Summary
LiTHOS is delivering the standard for environmentally efficient and economically sustainable brine resource development. LiTHOS’ mission is to eliminate the use of evaporation ponds and enable the lithium industry a step-change in sustainable extraction processes.
The unique brine pre-treatment solution was originally engineered in 2016-18 as a modular oil and gas waste water treatment and recycling solution to turn contaminated water produced, flowback water into purified, particle-free and sanitized frac water for beneficial reuse. The robust system is mobile, highly automated and built for continuous operations under harsh conditions in remote locations.
After more than 6 years and $10 million invested, these systems are fully commercialized and operate in the field at scale. Each modular system can process a throughput feed of 10,000 barrels/day or 1,600 m³/day. AcQUA™, is a patent-pending electro-pressure membrane process which optimizes the pre-treatment of raw brines and then rapidly concentrates a lithium chloride with the use of multiple Direct Lithium Extraction, or ‘DLE’, techniques. Further, Aqueous Resources LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LiTHOS, was recently awarded a $1.3 million grant from the DOE and a $250,000 grant from the state of Colorado to accelerate pilot demonstration testing. LiTHOS operates a fully commissioned lab facility and are working with multiple strategic mineral resource owners in Chile, Argentina, and the United States.
AcQUA™ technology avoids the typical challenges faced by chemically-intensive DLE technologies currently in development phase. AcQUA™ enables lithium brine resource operators to deploy economically viable and sustainable field-ready extraction solutions that seek to substantially reduce water consumption by recycling more than 98% of the input brine water, and substantially eliminate the use of evaporation ponds in the pre-treatment and concentration phases of production. AcQUA™ hopes to enable mining operators to implement economically viable and sustainable water reuse plants.
Why should you invest in LiThOS Technology? Here are the top three catalysts that make LiThOS a great opportunity for stock investors:
#1. Growing Market Demand:
The global market for lithium-ion batteries is expected to reach $129.3 billion by 2027, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 18%. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy storage and consumer electronics is driving the demand for batteries and the need for recycling them. LiThOS is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this market with its innovative and cost-effective solutions.
The lithium market is projected to grow from USD 21 billion in 2021 to USD 83BN billion in 2035, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. 1
As you may imagine, not all mines have the same production potential. This is why Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (BMI) made its calculations based on annual production averages for each of the necessary mines lithium-ion cell manufacturing requires.
According to the company, a lithium mine delivers an average of 45,000 metric tons per year. At that production level, the world would demand 74 new mines by 2035, for a total production of 3,3 million metric tons.
That will complement our current production capacity for the 4 million metric tons of lithium EVs will need by 2035. 2
#2. Competitive Edge: LiThOS has a unique advantage over its competitors in the battery recycling industry. LiThOS is the only company that can produce high-quality cathodes from recycled metals, which can be used to make new batteries with comparable or better performance than those made from virgin materials. LiThOS (LITS) also has a patented technology that can extract lithium from brine, a low-cost and abundant source of lithium. LiThOS’s products are certified by major battery manufacturers and have been tested in various applications.
Currently, most of the world’s lithium reserves are found in continental brines – natural salt water deposits.
Currently 2/3 of the world production of lithium is extracted from brines, a practice that evaporates on average half a million litres of brine per ton of lithium carbonate. For an average mine that’s 40 billion litres of water per year. This is hardly sustainable.
Furthermore, the extraction is chemical intensive, extremely slow, and wastes up to 60% of the lithium resources in place while destroying the land.
However, efforts to increase production from brines have mostly stalled due to environmental and technical problems.
That is a big problem, Lithium brine resource owners need new technology to deliver new production quickly, efficiently, and sustainably. 3
In a free market economy, the bigger the problem, the bigger the revenue.
LiTHOS is positioning itself as an industry leader with cutting edge technology that could be disruptive!
#3. Strong Technical Chart: LiThOS has been
The chart is bullish clearly above with higher lows and higher highs. We believe this chart could be indicator of a very bright future for LiTHOS (LITS).
To close out the research report, LiThOS Technology could be a rare opportunity to invest in a company that may transform the battery industry with its innovative and sustainable solutions. Don’t miss this chance to join LiThOS’s journey to become a global leader in lithium-ion battery recycling and innovation.
