KCLI · Price

Executive Summary

  • The company filed an amended and restated NI 43‑101 technical report for its Green River Potash & Lithium Project, outlining conceptual exploration targets for potash (0.5–1.0 bn t sylvinite), lithium (2.1 bn m³ brine at 71.6–216.3 ppm Li) and bromine (2.1 bn m³ brine at 3,656–4,741 ppm Br).
  • Balance sheet was significantly strengthened by a bought‑deal and non‑brokered offering that raised $7.45 million in gross proceeds.
  • The technical team was expanded with senior advisors Dean Pekeski (Senior Advisor) and Kenneth Taylor (Strategic Advisor); all potash licenses and lithium claims were renewed for the full project area.

Key Details

  • Filed January 27 2026; confirms no current NI 43‑101 mineral resource estimate.
  • Exploration targets:
    • Potash: 0.5–1.0 bn t sylvinite, 12%–18% K₂O (eK₂O) / 19%–29% KCl (eKCl).
    • Lithium: 2.1 bn m³ brine, 71.6–216.3 ppm Li (0.6–1.7 Mt Li₂CO₃ eq).
    • Bromine: 2.1 bn m³ brine, 3,656–4,741 ppm Br (3.3–9.1 Mt Br).
  • Targets are conceptual; further exploration required to define a resource.
