Smackover Lithium announces brine production unit for SWA Project approved

Smackover Lithium, a Joint Venture between Standard Lithium (SLI) and Equinor (EQNR), announces that the brine production unit, now formally named the Reynolds Unit, for Phase I of its South West Arkansas, SWA, Project has been unanimously approved by the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, AOGC, with no objections or opposition in a hearing that was open to all stakeholders from the community. “We thank the AOGC for their due diligence in reviewing our application and for their swift approval,” said Standard Lithium’s President and COO, Dr. Andy Robinson, who provided testimony at the hearing. “The establishment of the Reynolds brine unit is another key milestone our team has now successfully completed as we march towards a final investment decision for the SWA Project, and also a necessary statutory requirement as we look to set a royalty for the unit in late May.”
