Productive two days in El Dorado. Standard Lithium joined state, federal & local leaders on the future of South Arkansas lithium.
At Arkansas Capital for a Day, CEO David Park joined @SarahHuckabee & regional leaders at South Arkansas College for a panel on workforce development & economic growth.
@JohnBoozman toured our Demonstration Plant with Lafayette County Judge Valarie Clark — updates on SWA Project offtakes, financing & prep for FID/construction.
@SenTomCotton visited our El Dorado office to reaffirm support as we push toward FID while addressing suspicious lithium pricing & inventory reporting from China.
Grateful for the partnership at every level as we move the Smackover lithium industry forward.

We have amended our offtake agreement with Trafigura, adding an option to deliver up to an additional 4,000 tonnes/year of battery-quality lithium carbonate over the 10-year agreement.
Combined with our recently announced LG Energy Solution agreement, total potential offtake commitments now reach 20,000 tonnes/year, exceeding our 80% target of nameplate capacity for the SWA Project.
With customer offtake substantially complete, we continue to advance project debt financing and target FID on the SWA Project later this year with first commercial production targeted for 2029.

✅ Secure Offtake Agreements
Another major milestone for the SWA Project.
Our amended Trafigura agreement increases potential offtake by up to 4,000 tonnes/year, bringing total potential commitments with Trafigura and LG Energy Solution to 20,000 tonnes/year of battery-quality lithium carbonate.
That exceeds our initial 80% nameplate capacity target and completes the commercial offtake workstream.
Next up: finalize Project debt financing and advance toward FID by year-end, followed by construction and targeted first production in 2029.
The pieces are coming together.

We greatly appreciate the support for our SWA Project from the Arkansas Federal Delegation!
Thank you @SenTomCotton and @JohnBoozman!
Investing in South Arkansas’s lithium production means high-paying jobs and economic development for the region.
I’m proud to work with @DeptofWar to make the Smackover Formation a hub for domestic production of this critical mineral.

Check out David’s latest interview with @RKEquityRocks, where he breaks down the significance of our binding LGES offtake, provides an update on SWA Project financing, and explains how the new Franklin Project PEA puts @SmackoverLi on a path to producing more than 100,000 tonnes/year of battery-grade lithium carbonate!
Shale’s breakthrough wasn’t finding oil. It was technology making unconventional resources economic.
In the Smackover, DLE could do the same for lithium-rich oilfield brines.

South Arkansas is home to millions of tons of high-grade lithium.
This new partnership between Smackover Lithium and LG Energy Solution will increase domestic lithium production and bring high-paying jobs to our state.
Smackover Lithium has signed a binding 10-year offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution to deliver 8,000 tonnes per year of battery-quality lithium carbonate from the SWA Project. This marks another important step forward in the development of our project and for domestic lithium supply.

SLI CEO David Park joined @BloombergTV this AM to break down Smackover Lithium's offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution and why a final investment decision this fall puts American lithium on the map.
We are building U.S. energy dominance.

Big news @StandardLithium $SLI
LG Energy Solution is doubling down on North American BESS. Under a new 10-year, binding, take-or-pay offtake, Smackover Lithium will supply 8,000 tpa of battery-grade lithium carbonate from its South West Arkansas Project directly to LGES.
LGES notes in its press release that it is "obtaining a key cathode material that meets non-PFE requirements. The company operates seven production facilities in the U.S., including three standalone sites, and most of them already have established production capacity for batteries utilizing LFP chemistry. By combining its strong U.S. manufacturing footprint with Smackover Lithium’s lithium carbonate, the company now has secured a fully integrated local supply chain from sourcing to production"
Standard Lithium CEO David Park " The Agreement further anchors our customer offtake portfolio, complementing the contract with Trafigura we announced in March of this year, and is another major milestone in the development of the SWA Project. We have now secured a vast majority of the offtake agreements needed to move forward with our Project financing plans and a Final Investment Decision”

Lithium’s Permian?
@StandardLithium is turning the Smackover into America’s lithium shale moment - a huge brine resource beside oil & gas infrastructure, moving toward FID, offtake and financing, with multi-project potential beyond Southwest Arkansas. $SLI

As the U.S. works to build a domestic lithium supply chain, Northeast Texas is drawing attention. The Hibbs Institute highlights our Franklin Project as having one of the highest lithium-in-brine grades in North America. We're proud to support the growth of Texas' lithium industry and advance responsible development that supports America's energy future.
