Over the last three years Sparrow Hills invested in building a leasehold position attractive portfolio of development assets in Smackover formation in Northeast Texas, prospective for lithium brines («Lithium Company»).
Smackover formation is known to contain significant lithium brine resources, which have been confirmed through extensive drilling initially conducted for hydrocarbon exploration. The aim is to develop these brine resources swiftly and judiciously to produce lithium using the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process.
Investment in Lithium Company aligns perfectly with operational expertise of Sparrow Hills’ principals, given extensive oil and gas industry background and expertise, hence Lithium Company as investment is directly managed by Sparrow Hills as executives.
In concordance with building the Lithium Company, Sparrow Hills has organically identified other attractive lithium brines investment opportunities both in Smackover and elsewhere in the U.S. for replicating its initial success with direct investment in the Lithium Company.
