ASX:LKE) (LK1:FRA) (LLKKF:OTCMKTS) is a responsible developer of sustainable, high-purity lithium. Lake uses ion exchange extraction technology, from Lilac Solutions Inc in California ("Lilac"), who has earned a 20% interest into the Kachi Project. No mining is involved in the brine processing.

Lake continues to reduce our quarterly cash spend. With the completion of the DFS, the Company expects expenditures for the quarter ending 31 March 2024 to be approximately 40% lower than the quarter ending 31 December 2023.
With the completion of the DFS, Lake has shifted its focus to the strategic delivery of Kachi:

- Lake and Lilac Solutions are considering a range of funding alternatives including, but not limited to, the introduction of a strategic partner, project finance, pre-payments from potential customers and royalties.
Discussions remain ongoing and will provide additional capital to fund activities prior to Final Investment Decision and ultimately project development.
