For investors
Lepidico is set to capture an early-mover advantage in the current cycle with lithium in long-term structural undersupply. And given a binding offtake agreement, excellent environmental and social credentials and well developed risk management framework, we are well-positioned to deliver our strategy.
We are a vertically-integrated developer
Our patented L-Max® and LOH-Max® technologies extract lithium from lepidolite and other lithium micas, opening up a far more sustainable source of supply than conventional roasting methods. We deliver lithium hydroxide or carbonate into the supply chain, as well as other in-demand strategic metals.
Part of our Phase 1 project risk management strategy has been to ensure a relatively modest capital requirement while still delivering attractive returns.
Options for expansion
We are already planning a Phase 2 project, with concentrate supply from our own assets as well as third-party mines and royalty revenues from licensing of our proprietary tech to partners. One of these deals has already been completed.
Two throughput scenarios are envisaged, a sister plant to Phase 1 with a nominal capacity of 5,700tpa lithium hydroxide and a larger facility with nominal production of up to 20,000tpa.
The result will be a sustainable business for the Net Zero 2050 economy with low carbon intensity, low water intensity, benign mine and concentrator waste, and no solid process waste from chemical conversion.
