E3 Lithium Closes Sale of Non-Core Saskatchewan Assets

Proceeds provide additional non-dilutive capital to advance Clearwater Project

development

CALGARY, ALBERTA, December 11, 2025 – E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX:

EEMMF), “E3 Lithium” or the “ Company,” a leader in Canadian lithium , has successfully closed its

previously announced sale of non -core Saskatchewan based, Estevan Lithium District assets (the

“Estevan Assets”).

E3 Lithium has received cash proceeds of US$4.0 million (approximately C$5.6 million), pursuant to

the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) announced on September 30, 2025.

All closing conditions were satisfied or waived, including third-party consents, regulatory approvals

and satisfactory environmental and surface rights due diligence. Final cash proceeds are net of

permitted purchase price adjustments per the Agreement of approximately US$0.3 million.

“This sale provides nearly a three-time return on E3 Lithium’s total cost to acquire, hold and develop

the Estevan Assets,” said Chris Doornbos, Chair and CEO of E3 Lithium. “The value realized through

the sale enables E3 Lithium to focus on advancing our flagship lithium development, the Clearwater

Project in Alberta. In conjunction with the recent closing of our equity financing, monetizing this non-

core asset provides additional non-dilutive capital to progress through our Demonstration Program

and advance the Clearwater Project engineering and permitting.”
