By leveraging the Smackover region’s rich energy expertise and building on a well-established resource base, Standard Lithium is poised to become a leading near-term lithium producer in the United States. Our success is driven by our fully integrated, scalable and replicable Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing operational efficiency.
Position in the Smackover is large and scalable with some of the highest reported lithium-in-brine grades in North America
Definitive Feasibility Study complete in Q3 2025 and targeting a Final Investment Decision by year-end 2026
SWA Project identified as transparency project on Federal Permitting Dashboard, with construction of its initial phase supported by $225 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”), one of the largest ever awarded to a U.S. critical minerals project
High grade resources, proven commercial-scale technology and infrastructure drives low operating costs – expected to rank in first quartile of global cost curve
Global lithium demand projected to reach 3.3 million tonnes LCE by 2030 – more than doubling from 2025 levels
Partnerships bring additional resources and expertise: Equinor provides subsurface and big project delivery expertise, Aquatech aids in development of our flowsheet and technology, and Trafigura and LG Energy Solution bring strong global commercial partnerships
