Saturday, April 25, 2020 office/control room, the lithium-specific analytical laboratory, and a steel-framed, all-weather structure that allows year-round operation. Commissioning is on-going with completion of all utility/service connections, as well as brine and reagent supply and disposal lines. The venture’s proprietary LiSTR Direct Lithium Extraction technology will be used to extract lithium from waste brine (tail brine) that is a by-product of existing bromine production facilities run by Lanxess. The industrial-scale pre-commercial plant is designed to continuously process an input tail brine flow of 50 gallons per minute (gpm or 11.4 m3/hr) from the Lanxess South Plant, which is equivalent to an annual production of between 100-150 tonnes per annum of Lithium Carbonate. The company sees little in the way of hindrance to its development as Arkansas has a well-established permitting process for brine projects, extensive industry-related infrastructure including extraction, transport and reinjection systems, as well as utilities, rail and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and a workforce skilled in brine handling and processing. E3 Metals (ETMC.to) This company is focussed on petroleum brines and has secured the lithium and other mineral rights to more than 1.3 million acres in the Leduc Reservoir region in Alberta, hoping to ultimately construct a commercial extraction and processing facility within the province. To this end the company has a Joint Development Agreement with Lithium major, Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM). The JV’s technical team is working on what it calls the Ion Exchange (IX) Project. This project aims to test the commercial readiness of the DLE ion exchange sorbent to produce a high purity lithium concentrate from its Alberta brines. The project test work involves a program focused on optimizing the performance of the process. Next steps will be a shift towards a Pilot Plant Project to test the IX Process and evaluate the production of concentrate at a larger scale. All brine tested for this program is sourced directly from the Leduc Reservoir. In 2020, the company will conduct well testing, including brine sampling and reservoir pressure testing with a goal of improving the reservoir model, collecting information about lithium concentrations outside of oil & gas accumulations and updating the brine delivery plan in its resource area. The company is getting the province on board as the evolution of a lithium industry in Alberta could provide employment for laid-off oil & gas workers. E3 Metals estimates that when operating it could create 300 to 500 full-time jobs. The company hopes to be in production by 2023, producing 20,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) per annum, with the ability to scale up. Cornish Lithium This company is on a likely path towards a UK listing. It has the distinction of being the mining company that has raised most (GBP1.4mn) from crowdfunding in the UK. Its legal agreements encompass a large area centred around the area of Camborne, Redruth and St Day, but also cover other areas of Cornwall Hallgarten & Company +44 795 08 53 621 Page 10PDF Image | Unconventional Lithium from Brine

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine
ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@infinityturbine.com (Standard Web Page)
