January 16, 2026 – A landmark cross-border investment cooperation meeting between Nysa Capital and the team led by Vivian Xiong from the U.S. Web3 Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Association concluded successfully in Hong Kong on January 16, 2026. Mr. Su Hui, General Manager of Huaku (Guangzhou) Consulting Co., Ltd., attended and led the negotiations as the representative of Nysa Capital’s China regional cooperation partner. He successfully brokered a key consensus on a $100 million bridge loan facility for the U.S. Great Salt Lake (GSL) Lithium Extraction Project, leveraging his professional capital coordination expertise to achieve precise alignment between international capital and this core U.S. new energy initiative, thus removing major obstacles to the project’s funding disbursement.
The GSL Lithium Extraction Project, the centerpiece of this collaboration, is a flagship clean energy project prioritized by Nysa Capital with a total investment of $351 million. Utilizing patented ion exchange technology to extract lithium from salt lake brine, the project is designed to produce 20,000 metric tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate annually upon commissioning, effectively addressing the supply gap of high-end lithium products in the U.S. It has secured a take-or-pay offtake agreement with Traxys North America, LLC and raised over $315 million in equity financing from leading international institutions including Breakthrough Equity Ventures, BMW, and T. Rowe Price. With a projected internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.7%, the project stands out as a premier target for international capital in the U.S. new energy sector.
During the negotiations, Mr. Su Hui, drawing on his profound expertise in cross-border capital operations and industrial investment, served as the pivotal bridge and coordinator between Nysa Capital and Vivian Xiong’s team. He led in-depth discussions on core issues such as the disbursement timeline of the $100 million bridge loan, cross-border compliance frameworks, alignment with the project’s EB-5 financing, and fund security guarantees, ultimately forging broad consensus among all parties. This dedicated international capital will be exclusively allocated to EB-5-qualifying expenditures, injecting critical momentum into accelerated project construction and financing structure optimization, and serving as a model of international capital empowering U.S. new energy physical assets.
The successful conclusion of the meeting marks the transition of the project into a substantive implementation phase. Moving forward, Mr. Su Hui will travel to the U.S. to participate in the project’s subsequent core due diligence, agreement negotiations, and signing processes, providing end-to-end support for the efficient integration of international capital with the project. As a senior expert in industrial capitalization, Mr. Su Hui will continue to leverage the dual-driven advantages of “Industry + Capital”, offering full-cycle professional support for the project’s cross-border capital operations. Meanwhile, taking this collaboration as a benchmark, he will explore a standardized pathway for international capital to empower the U.S. new energy industry, establishing a professional channel for high-quality global capital to connect with U.S. industrial entities.
