E3 Lithium Provides Clearwater Project Demonstration Facility Update
CALGARY, ALBERTA, August 12, 2025 – E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), “E3”,
“E3 Lithium” or the “Company,” a leader in Canadian lithium , is progressing towards final inspection and
commissioning of Phase 1 of the Demonstration Facility (“Phase 1”).
The goal of Phase 1 is to fully operationalize the DLE system and associated polishing and purification units
to produce a high -quality lithium chloride, which will support the production of battery -grade lithium
carbonate.
All major equipment for Phase 1 has arrived on site. The DLE system and associated polishing and purification
units, previously announced on July 10, 2025, are now fully assembled. Crews continue to assemble and
incorporate supporting infrastructure, with the final mechanical and electrical checks underway. The
Company expects to complete the assembly of the remaining equipment within the next week , with final
mechanical and electrical checks completed shortly thereafter. The system will then undergo final inspection
and an extensive operational review to assess equipment performance and identify any damage that may
have occurred during transportation to the site.
Assuming no major issues are identified through the operational review, the Company is targeting to begin
commissioning by the end of August . Commissioning will commence with the introduction of brine, which
has been previously stored on site for this purpose, and will focus on ensuring operational efficiency of the
DLE system.
“The E3 team has been working very hard to advance the construction of Phase 1 of our Demonstration
Facility,” said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO. “I am very excited to see E3 Lithium be in the position to
complete the assembly of the equipment and commencing the commissioning within the coming weeks.”

“expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “project”, “potential”, “possible” and similar words referring to
future events and results. Forward -looking statements are based on the current opinions, expectations,
estimates and assumptions of management in light of its experience, perception of historical trends, and
results of the PFS, but such statements are not guarantees of future performance. In particular, this news
release contains forward-looking information relating to: the expected timelines for the assembly, testing and
commissioning of the demonstration equipment; production, pretreatment, purification, volume reduction and
conversion process and features and the expected outcomes thereof; the Company’s expectations regarding
the production of lithium carbonate; plans and objectives of management for the Company’s operations of
the Demonstration Facility ; and the inherent hazards associated with mineral exploration and mining
operations. In preparing the forward -looking information in this news release, the Company has applied
several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, that any additional financing needed will be
available on reasonable terms; the exchange rates for the U.S. and Canadian currencies will be consistent
with the Company’s expectations; that the current exploration, development, environmental and other
objectives concerning the Demonstration Facility can be achieved and that its other corporate activities will
proceed as expected; that general business and economic conditions will not change in a materially adverse
manner and that all necessary governmental approvals for the planned activities on the Demonstration
Facility will be obtained in a timely manner and on acceptable terms.
All forward-looking information (including future-orientated financial information) is inherently uncertain and
subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including the speculative nature of mineral
exploration and development, fluctuating commodity prices, the effectiveness and feasibility of emerging
lithium extraction technologies which have not yet been tested or proven on a commercial scale or on the
Company’s brine, risks related to the availability of financing on commercially reas onable terms and the
expected use of proceeds; operations and contractual obligations; changes in estimated mineral reserves or
mineral resources; future prices of lithium and other metals; availability of third party contractors; availability
of equipment; failure of equipment to operate as anticipated; accidents, effects of weather and other natural
phenomena and other risks associated with the mineral exploration industry; the Company’s lack of operating
revenues; currency fluctuations; risks related to dependence on key personnel; estimates used in financial
statements proving to be incorrect; competitive risks and the availability of financing, as described in more
detail in our recent securities filings available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
