Stardust Power Completes Independent Review for U.S. Lithium Refinery Project

Independent Engineering Review Validation

• 💡 Stardust Power has successfully completed an independent third-party review of its FEL-3 engineering study for its lithium carbonate refinery project in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
• 🔍 The review was conducted by global engineering firm Black & Veatch, focusing on a rigorous "red flag" assessment.

Site and Infrastructure Suitability

• 🔌 The Muskogee site was confirmed as suitable, with confirmed access to municipal power, natural gas, and water.
• 🏗️ The project's infrastructure conditions were validated as appropriate for the refinery's needs.

Project Timelines and Strategy

• ⏱️ A 24-month construction timeline and a 12-month ramp-up duration were deemed achievable.
• 📦 Procurement and supply chain strategies were found to be reasonable and aligned with current industry best practices.

Technical and Environmental Compliance

• ✅ Environmental studies and permitting progress were assessed as reasonable and on track.
• 🔬 The project's technical design, process flows, and engineering documentation were found to comply with current industry norms.
• 🚀 Findings support the likelihood that Stardust Power's technology will perform as intended.

Significance for U.S. Lithium Supply

• 🔋 This independent review is a major milestone for advancing a critical U.S.-based supply-chain asset amid surging lithium demand for EVs and energy storage.
