EMP Metals Corp Initiates Front End Engineering Design Study For Generation II Flowsheet Project Aurora Demonstration Plant EMP Metals Corp. has initiated work on an updated Front End Engineering Design ("FEED") study on the Generation 2 process flow sheet in development with Saltworks Technologies Inc. Key goals of the FEED study include: Define technical scope and requirements of the commercial surface facility, Identify and mitigate all project risks, Establish accurate and high confidence cost estimates for both Capital (CAPEX) and Operating (OPEX) costs, Optimize project schedule, Provide foundation for advancing project through further feasibility studies. The updated study represents a significant step in advancing the Company's Viewfield Project toward a more defined feasibility study for scalable commercial production. The work completed through this phase will serve as the technical and engineering foundation for subsequent definitive project and economic studies as the Company continues to systematically de-risk the project. The FEED study will incorporate and be validated in parallel by operating data generated from the Company's Project Aurora Demonstration Plant. The integration of real-world performance data from the direct wellhead connected demo plant is expected to optimize process design, confirm core engineering criteria, and enhance overall project confidence. The updated FEED study is expected to provide greater clarity and definition around capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX) for the Company's first commercial facility. By refining engineering parameters and incorporating operational learnings, the Company aims to strengthen cost accuracy and improve project planning. Announcement • Mar 03
EMP Metals Corp and Saltworks Technologies Receive $1 Million Funding from Government of British Columbia Integrated Marketplace Program EMP Metals Corp. and the Company's Project Aurora partner, Saltworks Technologies Inc., have announced the award of $1 million in funding through the Government of British Columbia's Integrated Marketplace (IM) program, delivered by Innovate BC, as part of its recently announced Mining & Critical Minerals Testbed. EMP Metals Corp. is the project proponent under the IM framework, with Saltworks participating in the project as the partnering BC–based solutions provider. Saltworks is completing the design and fabrication of the technology in BC, which will be dispatched to EMP Metal's live lithium well in Saskatchewan. The IM project scope includes the design, fabrication, and operation of a Generation-II lithium refining demonstration system, along with testing, performance data generation, and market assessment. The project is positioned as a mining and critical minerals testbed, intended to validate advanced processing technologies under real operating conditions and support pathways toward commercial deployment.
