Founder Zach Maurer and director Matthew Blumberg join the Ellis Martin Report to make the case that midstream lithium — direct lithium extraction from brines — may be one of the most compelling bets in the current lithium market. The pair outline Prairie Lithium's project in Saskatchewan's Williston Basin and its phased, pad-by-pad development model.

They also discuss capital expenditure estimates and revenue projections per pad, and the advantages of operating in an established oil and gas region with ready access to electricity, natural gas, water, highways and rail. Drawing on local drilling, production and disposal expertise, Prairie Lithium aims to compress the path to first commercial output.
