Make Room Exxon, This Energy Upstart Is Ready for Primetime

Energy giants like Exxon and Chevron have been buying up land in America’s lithium hotspot. 

Now they’ve got a new neighbor. 

EnergyX just acquired the rights to 35,000 gross acres of high-grade lithium resources in Southwest Arkansas, right next to Exxon and Chevron’s lithium projects, bringing their total to nearly 50,000 acres. 

What’s really turning heads about this move is that EnergyX isn’t just competing for lithium-rich land. They’ve pioneered patented technology that can recover 300% more lithium than traditional methods. That combination positions EnergyX to be one of the biggest vertically integrated lithium producers in America. Plus, General Motors has invested along with other global leaders like Eni and POSCO.

Great timing too, because the demand for lithium is projected to 18X current production by 2040. 

You can claim a stake in the lithium boom too. Act fast, though.

Invest in EnergyX for just $10/share through October 30.

Supercharging The Lithium Supply Chain

A high performance EV battery needs 62 kg of lithium. That’s 10,000x the amount of a smartphone. With 2 billion EVs needing to be on the road by 2050 to get to net zero, current lithium production can’t keep up with that demand.

When EnergyX revealed that their technology could extract up to 300% more lithium than traditional methods, investors everywhere took note. No wonder the company has already raised $140M+ of investments from General Motors and others. 

They’re advancing toward commercial production in Chile on a project with $1.1B annual revenue potential at projected market prices. They just acquired 35,000 more acres of high-grade lithium mining territory in SW Arkansas.

Now, EnergyX is offering you the chance to join Fortune 500 companies like General Motors as an early-stage investor for just $10/share

You don’t have time to waste, though. Invest before tonight’s midnight deadline.

This is a paid advertisement for EnergyX’s Regulation A+ Offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.energyx.com/. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
