The LiCAN advantage beyond extraction
LiCAN develops lithium brine assets in Saskatchewan, leveraging Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) to meet North American battery demand. The approach maximizes resource recovery while minimizing environmental footprint, positioning strategic holdings to supply battery manufacturers.
Strategic
resource
Lithium forms the foundation of the energy transition economy, providing essential materials for Electric Vehicles (EVs) batteries, grid storage, and sustainable technologies while offering Saskatchewan a new resource opportunity.
Direct Lithium
Extraction (DLE)
DLE technology captures lithium from subsurface brines in hours rather than years, achieving 90% recovery rates while reducing water usage and environmental impact compared to traditional evaporation methods.
Operations
& strategic location
The production approach leverages oil industry expertise for efficient lithium extraction while maintaining subsurface integrity. Saskatchewan's strategic location offers a direct access to U.S. battery manufacturers, reducing supply chain costs.
LiCAN's roadmap
LiCAN's roadmap manages capital efficiently while progressively validating resources and de-risking operations to reach 12,000 to 18,000 tonnes annual LCE production.
Resource acquisition (2024)
Participation in regional auctions, and strategic acquisitions to strengthen position in Saskatchewan.
Asset maturation (2025)
Resource certification, subsurface studies, and well preparations.
Appraisal wells
Drilling appraisal wells, and convert one into a production well upon success, to access underground lithium brines.
Development well
Drilling of a development well to return processed brine to subsurface.
Pilot production
Launch of initial commercial DLE operations to validate extraction.
Commercial Development
Development drilling and commercial production in 3000t- per-year increments.

Plateau production
Commercial production starts to reach
12,000-18,000t per year based on market demand.
Lithium value chain advantage
LiCAN offers investors access to Saskatchewan's emerging lithium sector. The extraction approach balances resource development with responsible production methods.
Technological advantage
DLE technology accelerates lithium recovery while reducing environmental footprint compared to conventional methods - delivering enhanced efficiency and strong return potential.
Critical supply chain position
Early investors gain entry to North America's rapidly growing battery supply chain, positioned to meet the surging demand for domestic lithium sources.
