American Resource.
American Production.
Building the foundation for a secure American critical minerals supply chain.
OUR FOUNDATION
Proven resource
The Smackover Formation is the most prolific North American lithium brine reservoir.
Applying advanced geoscience and subsurface exploration techniques, Galvanic has identified a lithium-rich region of the Smackover Formation ideally situated in the southcentral U.S.
Our project area in northeast Texas has been methodically delineated by appraisal drilling, petrophysics, brine chemistry, and reservoir modeling.
OUR OBJECTIVE
Domestic production
Leveraging our 85,000-acre lithium prospect, we intend to responsibly develop the largest Smackover brine resources in Northeast Texas.
It is our mission to advance commercial lithium production using modern direct lithium extraction technologies to strengthen U.S. energy and
critical mineral security, reduce dependence on foreign supply chains, and support the growth of domestic battery manufacturing and advanced energy industries.
OUR VISION
American supply chain
By demonstrating commercial lithium production in northeast Texas, Galvanic seeks to provide a secure and reliable domestic source of a critical mineral essential to energy storage, transportation, defense, and advanced manufacturing.
This endeavor will create economic value and a resilient North American battery materials ecosystem capable of supporting America’s growing demand for secure, domestically sourced critical minerals.
Lithium Supply Chain
The American lithium supply chain starts with identifying a world-class resource, then building an industry
around that resource for the benefit of the community and the nation.
The Smackover Formation is well-known as a world-class lithium reservoir. However, not all parts of the reservoir are lithium-rich or have the same production potential.
Circulating brine from two miles below to the surface requires a deep understanding of drilling, pumping, fluid flow, brine chemistry and reservoir characteristics.
Once lithium-rich brine has been extracted from the subsurface, critical steps must be taken to treat the brine, then extract and refine the lithium to certain chemical specs.
Most of processed lithium is used to produce cathodes in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries deployed in aviation, electronics, energy storage and various forms of mobility.
The Future Lithium Capital
Located 90 minutes east of Dallas, deep below the rolling green countryside of northeast Texas resides a world-class lithium-rich brine reservoir that has the potential to supply American energy and technology for centuries.
Galvanic Energy, through its operating company, Bright Star Exploration, is commencing with development across its 85,000-acre leasehold.
The Way It Works
Thousands of feet underground, the Smackover reservoir contains naturally occurring lithium-rich brine. Using deep wells (similar to oil and gas) and a selective extraction process, brine is pumped from the reservoir into a processing facility, where the lithium is separated from the brine, which is recycled back into the Smackover reservoir.
Our approach to lithium mining is aimed toward minimum surface footprint and water use, while maximizing environmental and community protection using industry best practices.
The Future Looks Bright
More than a
lithium project.
Reliable lithium production in Northeast Texas will be the foundation for investment in processing, battery materials, advanced manufacturing and supporting industries.
​
A shorter supply chain will lower the carbon footprint, reduce transportation and logistics costs, improve supply security and retain more economic value in the United States.
