E3 Lithium Outlines an Inaugural Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 5.0 Mt LCE for the Garrington District
BUSINESS WIRE)--E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), 'E3 Lithium' or the 'Company,' a leader in Canadian lithium, is pleased to release an updated mineral resource report for its Garrington District in central Alberta. The NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Garrington District Lithium Resource Estimate (the 'Garrington Report') outlines an updated Measured and Indicated mineral resource estimate of 5.0 million tonnes ('Mt') of lithium carbonate equivalent ('LCE').
Highlights:
The Garrington District includes 273,449 hectares of land
Measured and Indicated mineral resource estimate of 5.0 Mt LCE
Inferred mineral resource estimate of 0.3 Mt LCE
E3 Lithium's total Measured and Indicated mineral resources in Alberta is now 21.2 Mt LCE
The Garrington District is located in south-central Alberta directly southwest of the city of Edmonton at the north end, and it extends southwest of Edmonton to the town of Sundre (Figure 1). Within the Garrington District, the Company's brine-hosted mineral rights cover approximately 155,236 hectares, leased from the crown, with the remaining area being unleased freehold mineral rights. The lithium concentrations on or near E3 Lithium's Land holdings range from 45 mg/L to 61 mg/L, with an average of 54mg/L. The property sits directly to the west of E3 Lithium's Bashaw District where the Company is currently developing its Clearwater Project. Similar to the Bashaw District, the Garrington District lithium brine deposit is hosted in the carbonate reef complex deposits of the Leduc Formation.
'Alberta's lithium resources stand out globally as some of the most significant in size, thanks to the scale of the brine aquifers in the province,' said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO of E3 Lithium. 'The resource update in the Garrington District highlights a separate region containing vast volumes of lithium-enriched brines to the west of our existing Bashaw District resources. E3 Lithium continues to focus our efforts on the development of the Clearwater Project and the additional Garrington resources expand our sizable inventory for long-term value creation.'
The disclosure in this news release of scientific and technical information pertaining to the Garrington District has been reviewed and approved by Meghan Klein, P.Eng., Head of Reservoir Engineering, Americas of Sproule ERCE, and Alexey Romanov, PhD., P.Geo., Principal Geoscientist of Sproule ERCE. Both Ms. Klein, and Mr. Romanov are 'Qualified Person's' as defined under NI 43-101– Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
The technical report will be available on the Company's website (www.e3lithium.ca/technical-reports/) and SEDAR (www.sedar.com) within 45 days of this announcement.
Garrington District Brine Resource Estimate
The Garrington Report follows from the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the North Rocky Property, effective October 27, 2017, which included a small subsection of the area encompassed in the Garrington Report. The Garrington mineral resource estimate has been calculated across the Garrington Lithium District and was developed as outlined below.
First, data compilation and review of existing reports within the Garrington Lithium District were conducted. Then, a reservoir depositional framework was developed based on core descriptions and lithofacies analysis. Thirdly, petrophysical modeling on geophysical wireline logs, validated against core analysis where possible, was performed. Finally, geological models were generated and leveraged for reservoir volume calculations.
The updated mineral resource estimate for the Garrington District is summarized in the table below. The mineral resource estimate is categorized as Measured, Indicated, and Inferred depending on geological confidence.
1.
The Intervals reported follow the following definitions: Measured - evidence is sufficient to confirm geological, and grade or quality continuity between points of observation; Indicated - evidence is sufficient to assume geological, and grade or quality continuity between points of observation and Inferred - evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological, grade or quality continuity.
2.
Based on LCE tonnage.
3.
Brine Resource estimates are inclusive of unleased freehold mineral rights.

The mineral resource estimate was completed by a multi-disciplinary team led by E3 Lithium and supervised by Meghan Klein and Alexey Romanov of Sproule ERCE, acting as Qualified Persons using volumetric analysis based on geological parameters of reservoir geometry, effective porosity, permeability, and dissolved lithium concentrations. The mineral resource estimate benefited from a considerable amount of data compiled by the oil and gas industry and made public by the Government of Alberta. Key data sets used to determine reservoir brine parameters in the resource area include core plug analyses (porosity and permeability), and wireline logs geological and petrophysical interpretation (stratigraphic tops, lithology, volume of shale, and porosity).
To calculate the brine volume for each zone within the Leduc Formation, the brine volume was exported from the geological model, incorporating three district brine saturations. The brine volume is multiplied by the lithium grade to calculate the Original Lithium in Place (OLIP) in tonnes of elemental lithium and in tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent.
Resource categorization reflects the confidence in both the data sets and the interpretations. Measured resources exist within the conceptual development area and are restricted to volumes exceeding a 6% porosity cut-off within a single connected geobody volume with lithium grade measurements. Indicated resources exist across the Garrington District and are restricted to volumes exceeding a 2% porosity cut-off within a single connected geobody with lithium grade measurements. Inferred resources make up all geobody volumes above the 2% porosity cut-off.
With the updated Garrington Resource Estimate, E3 Lithium's total Measured and Indicated lithium resources in Western Canada are now in excess of 21 Mt LCE with an additional 2.9 Mt of Inferred resources. Included in this number is approximately 1.13 Mt of Proven and Probable mineral reserves in the Bashaw District that provide the basis for the Clearwater Project currently under development and outlined in the Pre-Feasibility Study published in July 2024.
1. Brine Resources are reported using the 2014 CIM definition standards, and are inclusive of those Brine Resources converted to Brine Reserves. Brine Resource estimates are inclusive of unleased freehold mineral rights.
