SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / Elektros Inc. (OTC PINK:ELEK), a developer of lithium mining operations in Sierra Leone, today announced that it has begun active discussions with international freight and logistics providers as it evaluates shipping solutions to transport hard-rock lithium from Sierra Leone, Africa to the United States.
The Company is currently engaging with multiple global shipping and freight-forwarding firms to obtain competitive pricing, evaluate transit timelines, and ensure a smooth and efficient process for the shipment of an initial two-container export of raw, hard-rock lithium material. These discussions are focused on reliability, speed, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance as Elektros works toward initiating its first commercial exports.
"This is an incredibly exciting and meaningful milestone for Elektros," said Shlomo Bleier, Chief Executive Officer of Elektros Inc. "Engaging in discussions with leading global shipping companies marks a major step forward in our journey. It reflects the progress we are making and the confidence we have in our lithium project.

Lithium remains one of the most critical materials supporting the global transition to electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and modern electronics. Benzinga has highlighted lithium as the backbone of modern battery technology, powering electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and large-scale energy storage systems that support renewable power infrastructure worldwide.
Reuters has emphasized that lithium has become one of the most strategically important materials of the modern era, noting that it sits at the heart of electric vehicles, grid-scale energy storage, and the global push toward cleaner and more secure energy systems. According to Reuters, demand for lithium is expected to remain strong for decades as governments and industries accelerate investments in electrification and renewable power.
Elon Musk has described lithium-based batteries as "the new oil," emphasizing their critical importance in powering electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and the global transition toward sustainable and environmentally responsible energy solutions.
