Partners E3 Lithium (TSXV:ETL) and Pure Lithium have produced lithium batteries using the former’s Alberta-based brines and latter’s battery technology.
Pure Lithium’s Brine to Battery technology cuts costs and improves performance and safety compared to existing lithium metal production. The Boston-based company’s lithium metal vanadium oxide battery, free of graphite, cobalt, nickel and manganese, represents a step ahead of traditional lithium-ion technology.
As part of the companies’ ongoing joint development agreement, they have manufactured more than 80 lithium battery cells using lithium chloride concentrate produced by E3. Battery testing by Pure Lithium using industry standard metrics is ongoing and results will be released following completion in Q2 2025.
Leadership insights
“The production of lithium metal batteries from E3’s Alberta brine marks a significant milestone and outlines our ability to produce multiple battery grade lithium products,” Chris Doornbos, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of E3 Lithium, said in a statement. “The successful integration of E3’s lithium brine resource and direct lithium extraction technology with Pure Lithium’s innovative technology demonstrates our commitment to developing a secure, reliable and local lithium battery supply chain.”
“The expertise of E3 Lithium’s team, along with their extensive brine resources, has been crucial in advancing our Brine to Battery technology for the production of lithium metal anodes,” added Emilie Bodoin, founder, chairman and CEO of Pure Lithium. “We are confident in our strong partnership with E3 and our shared ability to achieve large-scale lithium metal anode production at a fraction of current commercial costs.”
