TETRA Technologies (TTI) in partnership with ExxonMobil, ready to start their Lithium Extraction in Arkansas. This collaboration aims to establish U.S. sourced Lithium production for the United States.

**Here's some Key Aspects of the Partnership:** * **Joint Development:** TETRA and Exxon's subsidiary combined mineral rights for significant acreage in Arkansas, forming the Evergreen Brine Unit. * **Resource:** The brine deposits are rich in both lithium and bromine, with Exxon aiming to produce enough lithium to power about 1 million electric vehicles. * **Technology:** Exxon plans to utilize Direct Lithium Extraction technology, a method to pull lithium directly from the brine. * **Timeline:** Exxon aims to start lithium production in Arkansas by 2027, with pilot operations already underway. * **Strategic Goal:** The partnership addresses the U.S. need for domestically sourced critical minerals, fitting into the broader energy transition. The collaboration positions both companies to play a major role in the emerging U.S. lithium & renewable energy battery supply chain & critical mineral production for America's strong growth seen in this area.
