## Minestarters Atlas summary

Global Energy Metals' partner, NeoLithica, has commenced a scaled Direct Lithium Extraction \(DLE\) pilot test using brine from the Peace River Project in Alberta. The test, conducted by Geo40 LLC, aims to generate data for economic assessments and produce battery-grade lithium products for customer testing.

Reasoning: The announcement of a scaled DLE pilot test is a significant technical milestone for the Peace River Project, moving towards economic assessment and customer qualification.

- Positive factor: Advancement to pilot-scale testing

- Positive factor: Strategic partnership with technology provider

- Positive factor: Focus on battery-grade product qualification

- Negative factor: Results are pending

- Negative factor: Early stage of technology validation

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The test is described as a pilot test, which is a step above bench scale but still early-stage validation.

Evidence · text

> conduct a DLE pilot test of brine sourced from NeoLithica’s Peace River Project

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Mr. Paul Sarjeant, P. Geo., is named as the Qualified Person for the release.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
