Telescope Innovations Develops New IP for the Production of Battery Materials

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 18, 2023) - Telescope Innovations Corp. (CSE: TELI) (OTCQB: TELIF) ("Telescope" or the "Company"), a developer of advanced technologies and services for the global pharmaceutical and chemical industries, announces it has filed a provisional patent application (65/584,062) on the production of lithium sulfide, a key precursor for next-generation solid-state batteries.

As an outcome of work with Standard Lithium Ltd., Telescope has invented a low-temperature method of generating lithium sulfide from brine-sourced lithium chemicals. This method could reduce the current high costs of lithium sulfide production, and so facilitate the widespread deployment of solid-state batteries.

"The key to discovering this new method is Telescope's R&D technology," said Jason Hein, CEO of Telescope. "By combining robotic automation with artificial intelligence and our online analytical platforms, like DirectInject^TM-LC, we can discover synthetic pathways 10 to 100 times faster than conventional approaches."

This accelerated discovery has fueled the growth of Telescope's IP portfolio, which already includes a granted Canadian patent on the production of pharmaceutically-relevant indole compounds. "Our patenting activities place us among the 2% of Canadian SMEs¹ to hold patents," added Hein. "We are already drafting yet another provisional application on battery materials, and look forward to bringing advanced manufacturing technologies to the industry."

About Standard Lithium Ltd.

Standard Lithium is a leading near-commercial lithium development company focused on the sustainable development of a portfolio of lithium-brine bearing properties in the United States. The Company prioritizes brine projects characterized by high-grade resources, robust infrastructure, skilled labor, and streamlined permitting. The Company aims to achieve sustainable, commercial-scale lithium production via the application of a scalable and fully-integrated Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") and purification process. The Company's signature projects, the Phase 1A Project and the South West Arkansas Project, are located on the Smackover Formation in southern Arkansas near the Louisiana state line, a region with a long-standing and established brine processing industry. The Company has also identified a number of highly prospective lithium brine project areas in the Smackover Formation in East Texas and began an extensive brine leasing program in the key project areas. In addition, the Company has an interest in certain mineral leases located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California.
