Telescope Innovations Expands Lithium Development Infrastructure and Achieves Key Material Validation Milestones

Executive Summary

• Telescope Innovations secured a lease for additional laboratory and scale‑up space adjacent to UBC, expanding its lithium R&D footprint.
• The company validated its ReCRFT™ recycling technology by producing battery‑grade Li₂CO₃ that was successfully used by a partner to manufacture a functional battery cell.
• Progress continues on the DualPure™ low‑temperature Lithium Sulfide process in partnership with Standard Lithium Ltd., with advanced technical discussions underway with solid‑state battery industry leaders.

Key Details

• Facility Expansion: New lease for laboratory and scale‑up space directly across from primary labs at the University of British Columbia, intended for lithium processing reactors and analytical equipment.
• ReCRFT™ Validation: Produced battery‑grade Li₂CO₃ from recycled “black mass”; partner integrated this material into their workflow and fabricated a working battery cell.
• DualPure™ Development: Low‑temperature route to high‑purity Lithium Sulfide (Li₂S); collaboration with Standard Lithium Ltd., which supplied feedstock and funding; ongoing technical discussions with Asian and North American solid‑state battery firms.
• Commercial Outlook: Expanded physical footprint and successful material validation position Telescope as a key technology provider in the North American lithium supply chain; further updates expected as UBC facility commissioning completes and commercial talks progress.
