## 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, aims to generate data for economic assessments and produce battery-grade lithium products for customer qualification.

Reasoning: The announcement of a scaled DLE pilot test is a significant technical de-risking step for the Peace River lithium brine project.

- Positive factor: Advancement to pilot-scale testing

- Positive factor: Strategic partnership with NeoLithica and Geo40

- Positive factor: Focus on battery-grade product qualification

- Negative factor: Results are still pending

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 preliminary for commercial scale.

Evidence · text

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

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("concentrate"\)

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

## 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.
