(Cboe Canada, 8.Dec.2023) — Cboe Canada, the new business name of the NEO Exchange, welcomes LiTHOS Energy Ltd., a critical minerals extraction technology company improving the sustainability of lithium mining, as they graduate their public listing. Following a voluntary delisting from the Canadian Securities Exchange, LiTHOS is now trading on Cboe Canada under the ticker symbol LITS.
On a mission to become the global standard in economically efficient, sustainable lithium production, LiTHOS’ patent-pending AcQUA™ technology eliminates the need for evaporation ponds – an environmentally damaging, chemically- and water-intensive step in the upstream segment of the lithium extraction value chain. AcQUA™ technology spans the entire value chain from conditioning and pre-treatment of raw brines through Direct Lithium Extraction to the polishing and purification to produce either a battery-grade Lithium Carbonate or Hydroxide.
“LiTHOS has several multi-billion market cap lithium producers under contract, and we are actively processing multiple field brines at various stages from the evaporation pond complexes located in Chile and Argentina. We have a number of producers scheduled to visit our processing facilities to approve site acceptance tests on the results of our AcQUA™ conditioning and pre-treatment technology, which can help customers substantially increase their recovery yields at a lower capital cost in weeks, instead of 9 to 18 months,” stated LiTHOS CEO and Co-Founder, Scott Taylor. “We chose Cboe Canada to build broader institutional coverage internationally and increase investor confidence as a Tier 1 non-venture issuer.”
Lithium is now among the world’s most in-demand metals due to aggressive electrification efforts to limit CO2 emissions. This global demand is underpinned by the adoption of electric vehicles and the installation of hundreds of gigawatts of intermittent solar power generation capacity requiring partial battery storage solutions.
“As the world transitions to low carbon energy sources, the demand for critical minerals that enable green tech has and will continue to increase. With the help of innovative technologies developed by LiTHOS, our world will be better equipped to meet this demand in a safer and more environmentally responsible way,” remarked Erik Sloane, Chief Revenue Officer at Cboe Canada and Vice President, Global Head of Corporate Listings for Cboe Global Markets. “We are thrilled to welcome LiTHOS to Cboe Canada, proving again that Cboe is the exchange for purpose-driven, innovative companies that are pioneering the way to a more sustainable future.”
