Non-binding agreement secures E3 strategic optionality and market access for lithium hydroxide into Europe, with E3's focus remaining firmly on lithium carbonate for the Clearwater Project

E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), “E3&, “E3 Lithium& or the “Company,& a leader in Canadian lithium development, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Collaboration Agreement (the "Agreement") with Tees Valley Lithium Ltd. ("TVL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alkemy Capital Investments plc (LSE: ALK). The Agreement establishes a framework that creates optionality for E3 to convert its lithium carbonate into lithium hydroxide and further support offtake relationships in the European market.

Under the proposed non-binding Agreement, E3 would utilize TVL's lithium hydroxide conversion capacity at its UK refinery to convert lithium carbonate produced at E3&s Clearwater Project into battery-grade lithium hydroxide for supply to E3's potential customers. The Agreement contemplates up to 50,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide over an initial 10-year term.

The Agreement is non-binding in all respects and there is no guarantee that E3 will enter into a definitive agreement with TVL, or that E3 will utilize TVL's conversion capacity. Any future arrangement remains subject to the terms of a potential offtake agreement with a third-party customer and finalizing the terms and execution of a binding definitive agreement with TVL.

"This Collaboration Agreement gives E3 meaningful optionality as we negotiate with potential offtake partners," said Chris Doornbos, CEO and Chair of E3 Lithium. "This framework provides a potential pathway to serve hydroxide demand while we continue to focus on our speed to market and enhanced capital efficiencies for our carbonate production. We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with TVL."

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.

Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.

Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.

No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
