Company Overview

LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners Inc. (LIB) is a pre-revenue lithium development company focused on extracting lithium from oilfield brine using proprietary Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology. Its flagship project, Freedom 1, is a 1,000-tonne-per-annum (tpa) battery-grade lithium carbonate facility located at Select Water Solutions' site in Howard County, Texas.

The company has successfully commissioned its Gen 6 automated DLE system, reducing cycle times from 60 to 20 minutes and validating consistent, specification-compliant lithium carbonate production.
