For E3, the extraction process works, and there's a lot of benefits to it over evaporation or hard rock extraction. environmentally, purity, etc. they collaborated with these guys in 2018:

if it works I don't think anything is stopping multitudes or other companies from doing the same thing, but E3 will at least have a couple year head start, and some good properties.

what happened with Cielo?
Well that professor they collaborated with has his own lithium extraction company (its in that article). I don't personally like membrane filtration or ionic exchange for it, too easy to foul with current technology. Maybe E3 or companies like summit nano tech have a solution, but they are on the pilot stage. For economics, it would be more like 50ppm is enough.
