[{"type":"text","content":"NetworkNewsWire Announces Publication Discussing Investment Opportunities in LithiumNew York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2017) - NetworkNewsWire (\"NNW\"), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV: SLL) (FSE: S5L) (OTCQX: STLHF), a client of NNW that is building one of the largest portfolios of high quality, domestic U.S. lithium brine assets.The publication, titled, \"How Lithium is Driving the Global Push to End Gas-Powered Vehicles,\" highlights the lithium producers and prospective miners ready to meet the growing global demand for lithium assets.To view the full publication, visit: https://www.networknewswire.com/lithium-driving-global-push-end-gas-powered-vehicles/ \"The permitted mining partner at Bristol Lake is National Chloride Corporation of America (NCCA), a well-established and permitted brine producer. NCCA's presence at the site means that all of the necessary infrastructure is in place to give Standard Lithium immediate access to conduct exploration brine sampling, lithium extraction, evaporation and processing activities, all within a fast-track project development schedule. Importantly, it also means that Standard Lithium reduces much of the exploration risks to which junior mining companies are typically exposed.\"To improve the quality assurance standards necessary to produce battery-grade lithium compounds, Standard Lithium has appointed a Scientific Advisory Council (SAC) comprised of lithium extraction scientists and process engineers who will oversee and direct all required lithium extraction testing. In addition to the Bristol Lake Brine Project, Standard Lithium in August signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an unnamed NYSE-listed company on an option for Standard Lithium to acquire lithium exploration and productions rights on 30,000 net brine acres overlying the Smackover formation in a region with a history of commercial-scale brine processing. Management said it believes that lithium-bearing brines are likely present in this area. Smackover brines are metal-rich brine anomalies in reservoir rocks along the Gulf Coast from east Texas to Florida that are known to be a prime lithium resource. This asset may be one of the most promising to develop, given that a large-scale brine extractio...
