About Pure Energy
Pure Energy Minerals is a lithium resource developer that is driven to become a low-cost supplier for the
growing lithium battery industry.
Pure Energy has consolidated a pre-eminent land position at its Clayton
Valley Project in the Clayton Valley of central Nevada for the exploration and development of lithium
resources, comprising 950 claims over 23,360 acres (9,450 hectares), representing the largest mineral
land holdings in the valley.
Pure Energy's Clayton Valley Project adjoins and surrounds on three sides the
Silver Peak lithium brine mine operated by Albemarle Corporation.
Pure Energy's strategic partner, Schlumberger Technologies Corporation ("SLB"), is the operator of the
Clayton Valley Project. In May of 2019, Pure Energy and SLB signed an Earn-In agreement over the CV
Project which requires significant investment by SLB at the Project, to include the design and
construction of a pilot plant capable of processing lithium-bearing brines for high-quality lithium hydroxide
monohydrate ("lithium hydroxide" or "LiOH∙H2O") and/or lithium carbonate products at a specified rate.
SLB plans to utilize both in-house and commercially available technology in the design of the CV pilot
plant. SLB's costs, technical parameters and ultimate technology are anticipated to differ from the
published PEA. For further details regarding SLB's participation, please refer to Pure Energy's Annual
