Under the recently announced agreement with TETRA Technologies, Inc., Standard Lithium has increased the project scope to roughly 48,000 acres of mixed private, patented and placer claim land in the Bristol Dry Lake and Cadiz Dry Lake basins that allow for exclusive lithium brine exploration and processing. This agreement marked an extension of Bristol Dry Lake’s potential, and positioned Standard Lithium to fully leverage its working relationship with TETRA.

“Since day one we have recognized the bigger opportunity with respect to expanding the resource base and strengthening project economics at Bristol Dry Lake by securing the rights for lithium development over the entire basin.  By inking an agreement with TETRA, the only other permitted operator in the area, we have now effectively achieved that.  This is a significant and strategic move for Standard, but has only been made possible by the excellent relationships we have developed with the permitted brine operators in the region.  Gaining access to the adjacent Cadiz Dry Lake operating project is an additional benefit to our relationship with TETRA,” Standard Lithium CEO Robert Mintak noted in a press release announcing the deal (http://nnw.fm/4yD4U).
