Résumé
CANDLE plans to execute a pilot project in cooperation with its operations partner and a major Canadian gas producer in 2025-2026. The project duration, including pre-trial testing, fabrication, field pilot operations, and final lithium recovery, is 6 months. The field pilot operations are estimated to be 1 month in duration and the recovered lithium through CANDLE's process will be converted to lithium carbonate which will then be presented to various stakeholders. The field pilot will serve as precursor for the firm's commercial demonstration plant scheduled for late 2026.

Description (French)
CANDLE prévoit de mener un projet pilote en collaboration avec son partenaire opérationnel et un important producteur de gaz canadien en 2025-2026. La durée du projet, y compris les essais préliminaires, la fabrication, les opérations pilotes sur le terrain et la récupération finale du lithium, est de 6 mois. Les opérations pilotes sur le terrain devraient durer 1 mois et le lithium récupéré grâce au procédé de CANDLE sera converti en carbonate de lithium, qui sera ensuite présenté à divers intervenants. Le projet pilote sur le terrain servira de précurseur à l’usine de démonstration commerciale de l’entreprise, prévue pour fin 2026.
