E3 Lithium Ltd. is a Canadian resource and technology company focused on producing lithium from subsurface brines in Alberta. Headquartered in Calgary, it is advancing the Clearwater Project, which targets lithium-rich brines in the Leduc Reservoir. The company’s development strategy centers on direct lithium extraction (DLE) to recover lithium from brine, followed by downstream refining to battery-grade lithium chemicals such as lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide.
E3 Lithium integrates brine handling, DLE, and purification within a closed-loop process designed to recycle and reinject processed brines, aiming to reduce land use and water consumption compared with traditional evaporation or hard-rock mining. The company is progressing pilot and demonstration activities to validate its process flowsheet and qualify materials for end-use in battery supply chains. Its objective is to establish a domestic, scalable source of lithium for North American and European markets.
The MOU outlines plans for E3 to supply lithium carbonate and Axens to provide a lithium sorbent, aiming for secure supply chains and future definitive agreements.
