Description
Description | Project Lonestar is the first direct lithium extraction (DLE) facility in Texas, designed to process locally sourced lithium-rich brine from the Smackover formation. The demonstration plant produces approximately 250 metric tons per year of lithium carbonate equivalent and validates EnergyX's proprietary DLE technology and refining processes at an industrial scale. The project aims to establish a scalable domestic supply of battery-grade lithium in the US and reduce reliance on foreign lithium processing. |
