We're an essential part of the European battery supply chain
As a merchant refiner, we’re a technical chemical production company that can take lithium-bearing materials and convert them into high-quality lithium products. We are following a systematic programme approach, first developing in-house piloting capability in Teesside in the UK, then building a UK-based demonstration plant, before progressing to the development of a 50,000tpa output, £1bn+ annual revenue commercial facility.
flexibility
Raw material flexibility with no ties to a specific ore:
We have already tested multiple sources and maintain advanced relationships across the global supply chain e.g. with agreements in place for pilot and demonstration plant supply.
flexibility
Sales flexibility to produce either primary chemical:
The project will construct multiple processing lines enabling the production of multiple products and grades.
coproduct
Waste material saleable as a commercial byproduct:
Having patented our waste re-processing, we have now commercialised the product and have ongoing dialogue for binding commitments from multiple offtakers.
process
Lower-carbon hard-rock lithium refining process:
Independently verified CO₂ reduction versus current refineries operating in China, with R&D opportunities being explored to further reduce energy requirements.
