  • Brine reservoir ownersprimary

    Buy MDLE Plants or license the technology to extract lithium from their deposits.

  • U.S. basin operatorsprimary

    Evaluate and potentially deploy the plant in North American brine reservoirs, especially Smackover.

  • Industrial by-product producerssecondary

    Use the technology to recover lithium from brine streams generated by industrial operations.

  • Resource developers and JV partnerssecondary

    Partner on project development, plant construction, and operating oversight.

The company is headquartered in the United States and is actively marketing its technology to U.S...

  • •United States is the main near-term commercialization focus
  • •Smackover formation in Arkansas and Texas is a key target area
  • •Lithium Triangle countries are an initial design and market reference
  • •Canada is another stated brine market for the MDLE Plant
  • •Global brine deposits are part of the long-term addressable market

The company is focused on converting its proprietary extraction process into commercial deployments through...

Secure first commercial deploymentshort-term

A signed placement or license would validate the technology and unlock revenue.

02
Customize the plant for customer reservoirsshort-term

Different brine concentrations and purity levels require tailored engineering.

03
Expand monetization beyond one-off salesmedium-term

Licensing, rentals, and JV structures can create recurring or shared economics.
