(TSXV: ETMC) (FSE: OU7A) (OTC: EEMMF) (the \"Company\" or \"E3\" or \"E3 Metals\") is pleased to announce it has successfully produced lithium hydroxide at the Alessi Lab at the University of Alberta. Brine from E3 Metals' Alberta Lithium project was first processed using the Company's high-performing proprietary Ion Exchange Lithium Extraction Technology (\"Extraction Technology\") to produce lithium concentrate, as outlined in the March 4 2019 news release2. The lithium concentrate was then further refined and purified by polishing processes and electrolysis. Finally, the purified lithium solution was crystallized into lithium hydroxide.\n\n \n \n\n \nLithium hydroxide is used as a critical component in the production of high energy density Electric Vehicle (\"EV\") batteries and demand for the material is projected to grow significantly as the automobile industry focuses on launching a wide range of new electric cars and trucks. This increase in demand for lithium hydroxide has attracted industry interest in E3's project and as the project plan is validated should enable E3 to secure binding off take agreements from strategic customers requiring access to long-term lithium supply.\nLithium hydroxide is typically produced from lithium carbonate and can be very expensive to produce with existing technologies. By producing lithium hydroxide directly from brine using our Extraction Technology and process flowshee...
