LiTHOS COMMENCES MANUFACTRUING OF AcQUAtm FIELD SYSTEM FOR CONTRACTED CUSTOMERS

VANCOUVER, BC, March 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - LiTHOS Group Ltd. ("LiTHOS" or the "Company") (CBOE CA: LITS) (OTCQB:LITSF) (FSE: YU8) (WKN: A3ES4Q) is pleased to announce it has commenced manufacturing of a demonstration scale AcQUAtm modular field unit. The AcQUAtm system assembly is scheduled for factory acceptance testing four (4) months from today which places this milestone in July of this year. Once the modular AcQUAtm system passes factory acceptance testing it will immediately be deployed to the field for site acceptance testing which requires1500 hours (approximately ~2.5 months) of operational performance validation with each customer.

Scott Taylor, CEO of LiTHOS, stated: "This milestone is what we have been working towards since day one. Given the maturity of the supply chain and demonstrated performance of our patent-pending electro-pressure membrane AcQUAtm technology stack, our aim was to demonstrate bench scale results with customer field brines and move immediately to the field to deliver results. When we bought the technology, we also acquired a robust, and proven commercial-scale supply chain. We are on track to earn revenue in the 4^th quarter of 2024. More details will be disclosed when permissible."

Lithium is now among one of the world's most in-demand metals due to aggressive ambitious electrification efforts to limit CO₂ emissions. This global demand is underpinned by the adoption of EV's and the installation of hundreds of gigawatts of intermittent solar power generation capacity requiring partial battery storage solutions.

The Company's mission is to deliver sustainable lithium production without the use of evaporation ponds. AcQUAtm is LiTHOS' patent-pending technology that spans the complete value chain from the conditioning and pre-treatment of raw brines through the DLE phase into the polishing and purification of battery grade lithium feedstock. LiTHOS has two fully operational processing facilities: a 4,000 sq ft lab in Denver, CO and a 55,000 sq ft complex in Bessemer, AL. 

LiTHOS is working under contract with multiple strategic mineral resource owners and processing brines from the largest Salars in Chile and Argentina, and the Smackover reservoir in the Southeastern United States. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Aqueous Resources LLC, is a US Department of Energy grant awardee and a Colorado Advanced Industries grant awardee.
