(\"\n \n GLC\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\"\n \n ) is pleased to announce we signed a Lithium Processing Test Work Program Agreement (the \"\n \n Koch Agreement\n \n \") with Koch Technology Solutions (\"\n \n KTS\n \n \"), a Koch Engineered Solutions (\"\n \n KES\n \n \") company. Under the Koch Agreement, GLC's brine will be processed using KTS's proprietary Li-Pro\n \n ™\n \n technology at a KES location in\n \n Pickering, Ontario, Canada\n \n in order to determine the efficacy of Li-Pro\n \n ™\n \n for direct lithium extraction (\"\n \n DLE\n \n \"). KTS and more broadly, Koch Industries (\"\n \n Koch\n \n \"), is a globally recognized entity that helps create value for customers across a growing portfolio of technologies. KTS is developing and leveraging synergistic technologies such as membrane filtration, ion exchange, evaporation, drying, and more to provide an optimized DLE solution. KTS has decades of experience in the development and transfer of advantaged technologies and will apply these capabilities working with GLC during this testing phase.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The selection of KTS for brine extraction testing and evaluation is in line with the Company's previous communications involving our engagement with Hatch Ltd. (\"\n \n Hatch\n \n \") and the process to screen a number of diverse potential DLE technologies. The selection of KTS, and a soon to be announced second candidate, stems from extensive and deliberate screening procedures conducted by Hatch and GLC's internal expertise. The Koch Agreement's scope includes brine characterization and pre-treatment, followed by scoping lithium loading, washing and elution testing.\n \n \n The results from the Koch Agreement are expected to be completed in the next 6-8 weeks.
