LIBERTYSTREAM BEGINS INSTALLATION AND INTEGRATION OF DLE EXTRACTION AND REFINING SYSTEMS AT SELECT WATER SOLUTIONS' SITE; INITIAL PRODUCTION EXPECTED EARLY Q2

Libertystream Infrastructure Partners Inc. has completed site preparations and begun installation of its direct lithium extraction and lithium carbonate refining systems at Select Water Solutions' facility in Howard county, north of Midland. The systems are being integrated with Select's existing produced water pretreatment and recycling infrastructure, and remain on schedule to commence initial lithium carbonate production early in the second quarter of 2026.

This initial deployment is intended to validate Libertystream's on-site systems integration at Select, support continued bulk sample production for customer qualification and establish the operating template for scaling throughout the remainder of 2026. By integrating its proprietary direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology and refining systems into existing oil field infrastructure, Libertystream continues to advance a repeatable development model for future deployments across high-volume United States basins, including the Permian and Bakken.

"Our team has made significant progress over the past month preparing the site and installing our DLE extraction and refining systems at Select's facility," said Alex Wylie, president and chief executive officer of Libertystream. "We remain ahead of schedule for commissioning and expect to begin initial lithium carbonate production early in the second quarter. This deployment is designed to support bulk sample production and customer qualification while establishing the integration template for planned scaling through the balance of 2026."

Libertystream near-term strategy

Libertystream's near-term focus is to complete integration with Select's existing produced water infrastructure and commence lithium carbonate production at the site in early Q2 (second quarter) 2026, while advancing the separate commercial-scale expansion targeted to bring annualized production capability to up to 1,000 tonnes by year-end 2026.

To achieve this, the company intends to:

1. Complete installation, systems integration and commissioning of its on-site DLE extraction and refining systems in early Q2 2026;
2. Commence lithium carbonate production and continue to ship bulk samples -- accompanied by certificates of analysis (COAs) -- for customer testing and qualification in both industrial and battery-grade markets;
3. Continue qualifying customers for offtake through a continuing sampling program supporting additional industrial and battery-grade customer qualification;
4. Advance construction of Libertystream's separate commercial-scale DLE extraction and refining system later in 2026, targeting annualized production capability of up to 1,000 tonnes by year-end 2026.

This phased approach is intended to move Libertystream from initial site integration and production testing at Select to commercial-scale deployment during 2026, while establishing a repeatable operating template for future deployments across major U.S. basins.
