  • FCL has successfully completed the modular demonstration plant phase
  • It's processing plant, which is driven by proprietary DLE, has successfully recycled lost lithium from its initial client's effluent stream
  • FCL's plant has produced lithium product that meets all of the rigorous specifications for purchase by its client, a global specialty chemical company
  • The plant is now back at FCL's Georgia headquarters for upgrading into a commercial-scale plant ahead of full commercial redeployment

TORONTO, Jan. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Full Circle Lithium Corp. ("FCL" or the "Company") (TSXV: FCLI) (OTCQB: FCLIF), a USA-based lithium products manufacturer and recycler with a highly experienced technical team is pleased to provide an update regarding the Company's progress on the operations of its first modular demonstration lithium extraction and processing plant for a global chemical company at one of its specialty chemical plants in the USA.

FCL has successfully completed the demonstration plant phase with its initial client, a global specialty chemical company. Following considerable lab and pilot scale work, FCL had deployed its modular processing plant to the client's chemical facility in order to demonstrate, at scale and in a live setting, that its plant, driven by its proprietary direct lithium extraction technology (DLE), could extract lithium from the client's waste stream and make a high-quality lithium product that met the client's rigorous level of purity. FCL's modular plant and DLE not only extracted over 99% of the previously lost lithium from the client's effluent stream, but also removed all necessary impurities in order to qualify the lithium product for purchase by this client.

"This is a major de-risking milestone for our new company as we have demonstrated that our robust lithium extraction and processing technology works at scale in a real-life deployed setting," said Carlos Vicens, CEO, Director and Founder of FCL. "Making qualified lithium product for our first client gets us closer to near-term deployment of a commercial-scale plant and revenue generation, which we believe will be a first for a north American lithium technology start-up. This achievement also opens the door to a number of other potential clients as they assess our technology and ability to execute at a commercial scale."

The demonstration plant is now back at the FCL plant for refurbishment and expansion for redeployment at the client's site as a commercial-scale plant. Next steps for full commercial production include FCL providing to the client a large sample of qualified lithium product for a run through the client's commercial plant to make its own product, and completion of a definitive agreement, both of which are in progress. Deployment of the commercial plant to the client's facilities and production ramp-up would then follow, which is expected this quarter.

About Full Circle Lithium Corp.

Situated in the epicenter of the largest EV buildout in North America, FCL's fully permitted lithium carbonate processing plant in the state of Georgia, USA combined with a complement of seasoned lithium experts makes FCL a different processor and manufacturer of lithium compounds. FCL is focused on lithium and battery materials reintegration to meet the demand for crucial battery-grade raw materials, utilizing proprietary technology and know-how. In addition to its lithium carbonate plant, FCL is focused on three complementary feedstock processing divisions: battery recycling from off-spec and end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, lithium mid-stream recycling from industrial and chemical feedstock, and lithium refinery from upstream feedstock. Following on the Company's mantra of "the home of lithium science", FCL has now also developed an innovative and patented Fire Suppressant Solution (FSS), to address the increasing number of difficult to extinguish and hazardous lithium based fires.
