Standard Lithium Provides Corporate Update
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard Lithium Ltd. ('Standard Lithium' or the 'Company') (TSXV:SLI) (NYSE American:SLI), a leading near-commercial lithium company, is pleased to provide a general corporate update demonstrating continuous advancement and derisking of corporate objectives.
Principal corporate updates and highlights include:
Commencement of a rigorous and disciplined project finance and off-take process for the first phase of the South West Arkansas ('SWA') Project (first phase contemplates 22,500 tonnes per year of battery quality lithium carbonate production). A banking advisor with recent and relevant success has been selected to lead an intensive off-take selection and project finance (debt) process. This two-pronged engagement with potential off-take partners and debt providers started in January and is expected to be completed in Q3 and Q4 respectively. The Company looks forward to releasing additional information as the process advances;
The Smackover Lithium JV, in partnership with Equinor, continues the successful mineral leasing program in East Texas ('ETX'). SLI first started extensive mineral leasing in the most prospective areas of the Smackover Formation in East Texas in 2022. Since the formation of the JV in May 2024, it has continued to grow the acquired lease position, and is now actively leasing within a total area of 185,000 acres across several Counties in East Texas;
The first ETX project area of approximately 67,000 acres has been identified. This project area is centered on Franklin County, and the Company has previously drilled three exploratory boreholes in and adjacent to this project area and reported the highest known lithium in brine grades in North America (maximum lithium grade of 806 mg/L reported). Some of the existing wells will be resampled during Q2 and Q3 of this year, and it is expected that a maiden Inferred Resource Report for this highly prospective lithium resource will be published in Q3 of this year;
The Company, in partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, continues to use the Demonstration Plant in Union County as an essential test and technology development center to not only demonstrate the derisked and commercially ready DLE technology for the first commercial project at SWA, but also as a test-bed to continuously improve the entire flowsheet for future projects;
Commercial development at the Lanxess Projects is not ruled out, but the Company's focus on building the next phase of lithium projects in North America is centered on the JV opportunities at the SWA Project and in East Texas. The Company is confident the brine resources that the JV is securing in East Texas will come to be seen as the premier lithium brine assets in North America.
David Park, CEO of Standard Lithium said 'The Standard Lithium team, in combination with our partners Equinor and Koch Technology Solutions, has been working diligently to keep on moving the projects forward, derisking key workstreams and hitting development milestones. As we've said before, it's time for us to prioritize, focus, and execute. It is now clear that executing on our SWA Project with our partners is our top priority, and that we see incredible potential to build on that foundation and grow with them into East Texas.'

The Company will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss its six-month fiscal period ended December 31, 2024 on Friday, March 28th at 3:30 p.m. ET. Access to the call is available via webcast or direct dial.

Sturm Ruger CEO sees 2025 bottom line impacted by price repositioning moves
On June 13, Sturm, Ruger & Company provided a communication from Todd Seyfert, CEO, to its employees regarding his first 100 days and management's ongoing corporate strategy initiatives, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing. In the letter to employees, Seyfert stated in part: 'The last few months have been nothing short of transformative – and it's thanks to your focus, dedication, and belief in what we're building. As I have been doing since my first days as CEO, I wanted to update you all transparently and clearly about where I see our short-term and long-term future… With these bold moves, there comes a cost – both emotionally and financially. Change of this scale requires tough decisions, meaningful investment, and short-term impacts that we've chosen to take head-on to position Ruger for long-term strength… It is important to note that we are making these strategic decisions now – thoughtfully and intentionally – so that Ruger is positioned for consistency, stability, and profitable growth in 2026 and beyond. Yet, there will be a cost to the Company for 2025. We expect the expense-related to these initiatives to total approximately $15 million to $20 million over the remainder of the year. We additionally anticipate our price repositioning moves to impact our overall bottom line over that same period. Consequently, we currently believe that our results for the remainder of the year, before the one-time costs and expenses, will look more like prior periods, such as the latter part of 2019, where the Company continued to focus on executing its long-term strategy and delivering long-term value for shareholders in the face of broader industry challenges. These actions will be largely completed by the beginning of 2026, placing Ruger in a strong position for renewed growth and performance in the years to come. Importantly, none of this will slow our momentum when it comes to investing in what matters most, including aggressive new product development and expansion of capacity in areas where market demand exceeds our current ability to supply. We remain fully committed to profitable expansion, product innovation, agile responsiveness, and ensuring we meet the expectations of our customers and the marketplace.'
