Standard Lithium CEO David Park and COO Andy Robinson join Rock Stock Channel (Howard and Matt) to discuss the company’s Smackover lithium brine strategy, low-cost production potential, lithium carbonate for LFP batteries, and the path toward financing and final investment decision.

The conversation covers why Arkansas and East Texas could become a major North American lithium production hub, how Standard Lithium’s brine resources compare to other lithium projects, and why infrastructure, scale, operating costs, and strategic partnerships with Koch and Equinor matter for the future of U.S. battery supply chains.
