Libertystream finalizes construction of refining unit

Mr. Alex Wylie reports LIBERTYSTREAM PROVIDES OPERATIONS UPDATE The construction of Libertystream Infrastructure Partners Inc.'s commercial lithium carbonate refining unit has been finalized and it is now in transit to Libertystream's field operations in Texas. The refining unit has been designed to produce up to 10 tonnes per annum (tpa) of lithium carbonate, with the flexibility to tailor output to either industrial-grade or battery-grade specifications. Once commissioned on site, the refining unit will allow Libertystream to deliver bulk samples of lithium carbonate produced directly from oil field brine -- an essential step in initiating formal offtake discussions with prospective customers. "This milestone brings us to the final stage before commercial engagement with future customers," commented Alex Wylie, president and chief executive officer. "Commissioning the unit in Texas will provide the bulk samples and quality validation required for offtake agreements and future sales." Board transition Libertystream also announces that Marty Scase has retired from the board of directors, effective Aug. 25, 2025. Mr. Scase had recently stepped into the role of executive chairman to support Libertystream through a period of transition and is now stepping back to focus on other ventures. "I want to thank Marty for his commitment to Libertystream," said Mr. Wylie. "His leadership and guidance have been critical to our progress, and we wish him continued success." "Marty and I have worked together a long time with Libertystream and other enterprises," added John McEwen, inventor and chief technology officer at Libertystream. "His presence will be missed as we continue to advance Libertystream's technology and drive toward commercial production. I wish Marty all the best." About Libertystream Infrastructure Partners Inc.
