EMP Metals Corp. (CSE: EMPS) (OTCQB: EMPPF) is a Canadian-based lithium exploration and development company focused on leveraging large-scale lithium resources through direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology and currently holds substantial acreage in Southern Saskatchewan.
Notably, EMPS is partnered with Koch, one of the largest privately held conglomerates in the United States according to Forbes

In April, EMPS announced the commencement and commissioning of its Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) Field Pilot Facility in Estevan, Saskatchewan, marking the first Koch Technology Solutions (KTS) DLE pilot skid to be operated in Canada.
This facility will simulate field operating conditions, processing high lithium concentration brine from the Viewfield area, which has shown lithium concentrations up to 259 mg/L. The pilot plant aims to gather critical performance data to support detailed engineering for a stage 1 commercial facility in Southern Saskatchewan.

In another pivotal move, EMPS shared yesterday that it has acquired ROK Resources Inc.'s interest in Hub City Lithium. As a result, EMPS will own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hub City Lithium, which holds lithium properties in Saskatchewan. The transaction represents a significant consolidation of EMPS’ interests in the Saskatchewan lithium assets.
EMPS’ CEO, Rob Gaml ey, emphasized the strategic importance of this acquisition in advancing the company's flagship Viewfield project, which is noted for having the highest recorded lithium grades in Canada and among the cleanest brines in North America.
Yesterday, EMPS also announced the commencement of a two-well lithium drilling program in the Viewfield Area which aims to delineate the original discovery and gather critical data for a potential resource upgrade and future Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study.
