American Marconi Wireless News - Elektros Commences Full-Scale Hard-Rock Lithium Extraction and Stockpile Build-Out at Sierra Leone Mining Site

With operations now underway, Elektros has deployed its on-site team to begin extracting and gathering hard-rock lithium material. The Company is actively collecting mined material into secured sacks, enabling efficient handling, storage, and movement as Elektros builds a growing, organized stockpile intended to support future logistics and export planning.

"Our team is on the ground with sleeves rolled up and we are moving forward with full extraction and accumulation," said Shlomo Bleier, Chief Executive Officer of Elektros Inc. "We are focused on gathering hard-rock lithium in an efficient and disciplined way-bagging and stockpiling material so we can accelerate our operational momentum and position the Company to meet a market where demand continues to evolve."

Elektros believes lithium remains one of the world's most essential strategic minerals, supporting the global transition toward electrification. Lithium is a key material used in rechargeable batteries that power electric vehicles, grid-scale energy storage systems, and next-generation clean-energy technologies.

The Company expects to continue expanding its accumulation efforts on site as it prepares for freight-readiness and seeks to build as much stockpiled material as possible. Elektros intends to provide shareholders with additional updates as operational milestones are achieved.
