Did you know that the United States sits on the third-largest lithium reserves in the world? That’s a big deal considering lithium demand projects to grow 20X by 2040. Well, spanning 600 miles from Florida to Texas, there’s a massive opportunity waiting – a reserve so big the entire industry took note. It just so happens to be right in EnergyX’s backyard.

Known as the Smackover Formation, this immense reserve possesses higher lithium concentrations than any other in the United States. EnergyX’s patented tech extracts lithium 300% more efficiently than conventional methods. Plus, where modern methods take 12+ months, they need just two days.

With a $5M DOE grant toward Project Lonestar, a recently announced US lithium plant smack dab in the Smackover, they’re ready to take full advantage. By the time Project Lonestar is fully up and running, it will be producing 5X as much lithium as today’s top-producing lithium plant. Seize your piece of this $546B energy storage treasure – invest in EnergyX before their early-stage capital raise closes Thursday.

For General Motors to succeed in meeting its EV transition target by 2035, they’ll need up to 414,469 tons of lithium per year. That’s why the automaking behemoth led a $50M investment round for lithium extraction startup EnergyX

Their patented tech extracts lithium 300% more efficiently than conventional methods. Plus, where modern methods take 12+ months, EnergyX needs just two days. That’s why EnergyX has been entrusted with the rights to 100,000+ acres of lithium-rich Chilean land and a $5M DOE grant toward a recently announced US lithium plant.

It’s not just cars that need batteries, either. The entire $546B energy storage market will depend on securing reliable sources of lithium. EnergyX’s plan to produce 65,000 tons per year will help them lead the charge. However, EnergyX is only accepting shareholders through Thursday.
