Our
Mission

A critical mineral for the collective good

Summit Nanotech was founded in 2018 to amplify the performance of today’s lithium miners and meet the global demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Deploying our patented direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, greater quantities of high-purity lithium product are collected faster while preserving the natural resources of communities. Grounded in values of trust and adaptability, we work with customers to refine our technology for the complexities of their brine.

Advance THE Energy transition

Improve the lithium supply chain so that an EV is accessible to all.

DEMAND SAFETY IN EVERYTHING

Our promise to employees, communities, and customers.

Our Journey

2018

Summit Nanotech was founded

After summiting a peak in Tibet, Founder Amanda Hall witnessed a monk using a mobile device, one that requires a lithium battery. With the realization that access to lithium is a global issue, Summit Nanotech was formed.

2019

Patent filed

Summit Nanotech gains success with direct lithium extraction, including operating a new prototype and files a patent for the denaLi™ technology solution.

2020

Fundraising begins

Following technology performance and scaling of the solution, Summit Nanotech opened a financing raise to help accelerate commercialization.

2021

Accelerated growth

With funding secured, opportunities with the technology and the team expands, including increasing the number of staff from 6 to 25, as well as the assembly of the infrastructure for piloting.

2022

Pilot program launches

Summit Nanotech constructs a novel lithium extraction pilot facility in our new expanded office space in Calgary and transports it to Chile for an in-field, multi-client project.

2023

Growing opportunities

The company continues to grow, most recently with $50 million USD Series A2 raised. Summit increases the team to 78 and opens a Summit Nanotech Chile location upon completion of Pilot program. The company is being recognized for its technology and accolades within the industry for a greener and more sustainable future.

FAQ

First question here

The Summit denaLi™ solution captures the lithium ion in brine using nanotechnology. After extraction, Summit re-injects the lithium-depleted, geochemically compatible brine back into the brine aquifer with the objective of preventing hydrological impacts.
