Grounded Lithium Selects Second Company for Brine
Extraction Testing
CALGARY, AB
,
March 21, 2023
/CNW/ - (TSXV: GRD) (OTCQB: GRDAF) - Grounded Lithium Corp. ("
GLC
" or the "
Company"
)
is pleased to announce the selection of a second well-respected and industry known entity (the "
Industry Expert
") to conduct
lithium extraction testing on brine sourced from our Kindersley Lithium Project ("
KLP
"). Selection of a second Industry Expert is
consistent with our strategy to a best in class fit of extraction technology to resource. The Industry Expert maintains their
anonymity at this time. However, they are an established technology provider in the extraction process field, having successfully
completed brine characterization and testing for other companies with lithium resources. Extraction testing with the Industry Expert
is expected to be completed by late April or early May.
GLC will transport sufficient quantities of KLP brine to the Industry Expert's chosen facility where the Industry Expert will evaluate
its extraction technology in parallel with the previously announced technology candidate, Koch Technology Solutions. GLC
anticipates selection of a preferred alternative during Q2 2023, which will then be encompassed in the Company's preliminary
economic assessment together with all future field development initiatives, leading ultimately to commercial production.

products; geographic and weather conditions can impact the production; the risk that current global economic and credit conditions
may impact commodity prices and consumption more than GLC currently predicts; the failure to obtain financing on reasonable
terms; the risk that unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the failure of drilling to
result in commercial projects; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; and the other
risk factors detailed from time to time in GLC's periodic reports. GLC's forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their
entirety by this cautionary statement.
