In particular, this news release contains forward-looking information relating to: credit facility to primarily support letters of credit issuance in support of ongoing development activities for the Company’s Clearwater Project; drawing on undrawn Government funds will support E3’s ongoing activities, including completion of the Demonstration Facility, as the Company advances toward FID and commercialization; completion of well development and pump installation for Phase 2 expected to generate the final data required for the Clearwater Project Feasibility Study; final
phase of operations of the Demonstration Facility to be focused on commercial-scale DLE technology validation and integrated production of battery-grade lithium carbonate to support project financing and advancement of the Clearwater Project; the Company’s expectations regarding the production of lithium carbonate; plans and objectives of management for the Company’s operations of the Demonstration Facility; and the inherent hazards associated with mineral exploration and mining operations. In preparing the forward-looking information in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited
to, that any additional financing needed will be available on reasonable terms; the exchange rates for the U.S. and Canadian currencies will be consistent with the Company’s expectations; that the current exploration, development, environmental and other objectives concerning the Demonstration Facility can be achieved and that its other corporate activities will proceed as expected; that general business and economic conditions will not change in a materially adverse manner and that all necessary governmental approvals for the planned activities on the Demonstration Facility will be obtained
in a timely manner and on acceptable terms.

So they’re like pumping batteries now? Idk why this sounds like a bank commercial though. Clearwater commercialization… soon™?
“Forward-looking statements” means they don’t have results yet, right? I feel like they keep saying FID and commercialization like it’s always around the corner. Also letters of credit?? not sure how that helps my gas bill lol.
Wait, is Clearwater a place in Canada or just their project name? I saw “Government funds” and assumed like grants are already approved and they’re basically done. Then it says completion of demonstration facility and Phase 2 pump installation so… not done done.
I don’t get how “battery-grade lithium carbonate” is different from regular lithium. Sounds like marketing. If they’re using undrawn government money, does that mean taxpayers are paying for their pump project? Hope they don’t mess up the environment either, because mining always sounds like a mess.
