CleanTech Lithium ("CleanTech Lithium" or "CTL" or the "Company")

Host International Academics from University of Atacama

 

Copiapó, January 25, 2024: In a joint effort to address global challenges and
local issues associated with lithium, CleanTech Lithium has hosted a leading
international seminar entitled "Lithium: Global Challenges, Local Issues,
Decarbonization, Sustainability and Participation". The event, which took
place on January 18(th) and 19(th) at the Universidad de Atacama, brought
together renowned international academics and industry leaders to explore the
crucial role lithium plays in global decarbonization and the transition to a
green economy.

In a context where decarbonization has become an inescapable priority to
mitigate the effects of climate change, lithium emerges as an essential
component in the transition to cleaner energy sources. The seminar focused not
only on understanding the importance of lithium globally, but also on
collaboratively addressing the local complexities associated with its
extraction, which is a priority for the Chilean government.

An essential part of the event saw the visit of international academics to the
CleanTech Lithium R&D Centre in Copiapó where the Company's DLE Pilot
Plant is being commissioned (see figure 1). This direct encounter allowed
participants to immerse themselves in the Company's approach to lithium
extraction, highlighting the importance of public-private partnerships to
address the complex challenges facing the industry.

Marcela Sepúlveda, Community Relations Manager, CleanTech Lithium, commented:
"Collaboration between academia, industry and government is essential to
developing sustainable solutions in lithium extraction and its integration
into the global supply chain. The presence of international academics at our
DLE pilot plant is a testament to our commitment to innovation and
transparency in our operations."

Mauricio Lorca, Research Associate at the Universidad de Atacama, mentioned:
"Having these spaces for dialogue and listening are extremely valuable. And in
that sense, the presence of CleanTech Lithium was very well evaluated. Having
this willingness to build dialogue is obviously a step in the right
direction."

The seminar stands as a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences,
fostering collaboration between different stakeholders to address the present
and future challenges associated with lithium. CleanTech Lithium, together
with the Universidad de Atacama, is proud to lead this effort towards a more
sustainable and equitable future.

About CleanTech Lithium

CleanTech Lithium (AIM:CTL, Frankfurt:T2N, OTCQX:CTLHF) is an exploration and
development company advancing sustainable lithium projects in Chile for the
clean energy transition. Committed to net-zero, CleanTech Lithium's mission is
to produce material quantities of battery grade using sustainable Direct
Lithium Extraction technology, powered by renewable energy, the Company plan
to be the leading supplier of 'green' lithium to the EV and battery
manufacturing market.

CleanTech Lithium has four lithium projects - Laguna Verde, Francisco Basin,
Llamara and Salar de Atacama - located in the lithium triangle, the world's
centre for battery grade lithium production. The two major projects: Laguna
Verde and Francisco Basin are situated within basins controlled by the
Company, which affords significant potential development and operational
advantages. All four projects have direct access to existing infrastructure
and renewable power.

CleanTech Lithium is committed to using renewable power for processing and
reducing the environmental impact of its lithium production by utilising
Direct Lithium Extraction. Direct Lithium Extraction is a transformative
technology which removes lithium from brine, with higher recoveries and
purities. The method offers short development lead times, low upfront capex,
with no extensive site construction and no evaporation pond development so
there is no water depletion from the aquifer. www.ctlithium.com
