Summit Nanotech Becomes Summit Lithium Technologies, Completes Basic Engineering for Commercial DLE Plant<\/p>\n

CALGARY, AB, May 22, 2026 \/PRNewswire\/ \u2013 Summit Nanotech Corporation announced today that it has changed its operating name to Summit Lithium Technologies (\u201cSummit\u201d). The new identity reflects the full scope of the company\u2019s direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, which includes a proprietary sorbent, system, and predictive modeling platform, and marks the completion of basic engineering for its modular commercial plant design.<\/p>\n

Summit has deployed DLE systems in the field in northern Chile, beginning with a pilot in 2022 and a field demonstration at Albemarle\u2019s site in 2025. Earlier this year, the company launched a rapid-validation demonstration plant at its Santiago facility, where it has begun testing on customer field brine. Basic engineering is now complete for Summit\u2019s modular commercial plant, which is configurable in 5,000-tonne-per-annum modules scaling up to 50,000 tonnes per year of lithium production.<\/p>\n

Amanda Hall, <\/strong>Founder and CEO of Summit Lithium Technologies, said:<\/p>\n

Our new name reflects a simple reality: Summit is no longer a nanotech company \u2013 we are building the infrastructure layer for the energy transition,<\/p>\n

\u201cBy integrating sorbent, modular systems, and predictive process intelligence, we are unlocking lithium production with greater reliability and lower lifecycle costs. Completing basic engineering on our modular plant represents the moment Summit\u2019s DLE graduated from validation to rapidly deployable infrastructure for the lithium industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summit\u2019s global footprint continues, with headquarters in Calgary, Canada; pilot development facility in Denver, USA; regional rapid-validation plant in Santiago, Chile; and project development office in Salta, Argentina. All existing customer contracts, technology agreements, and partnerships remain active under the new name. A…<\/p>\n
