The interim test results were derived from the data acquired during the 3-, 7-, and 14-day continuous operation events, which utilized claystone from the Company's Clayton Valley Lithium Project in Clayton Valley,\n \n Nevada\n \n . Results yielded a concentration of lithium into an intermediate solution product containing 2,700 parts per million (\"ppm\") lithium with insignificant impurities (\"Intermediate Solution\"). This is in line with expectations and similar to the data used in the\n \n \n P\n \n \n re-\n \n \n F\n \n \n easibility\n \n \n S\n \n \n tudy\n \n \n (\"PFS\", effective date\n \n August 5, 2020\n \n , amended\n \n March 15, 2021\n \n ). This information will be incorporated in the Company's upcoming Feasibility Study currently under the direction of Wood PLC.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Highlights:\n \n \n \n \n Concentration of lithium into an Intermediate Solution containing 2,700 ppm lithium with insignificant impurities\n \n \n Overall extraction rates of lithium, within the washed tails, are between 83% and 85%\n \n \n Lithium extractions from the ion exchange in the lithium recovery area indicate separation efficiencies for lithium and major cations exceed 98%\n \n \n Sodium and potassium removal in the lithium recovery area has approached 80% with less than 0.5% lithium entrainment\n \n \n Overall impurity removal, specifically, magnesium, calcium, iron, and aluminum all exceed 99%\n \n \n Work continues at the Pilot Plant evaporation process stage to allow the integration of the treatment of the Intermediate Solution to produce a hig...
