This project represents the largest known lithium resource in the United States and is expected to become the nation’s leading lithium carbonate production facility. Once fully operational, the site will produce enough lithium to support the manufacturing of approximately one million electric vehicles annually.

Located in the high desert of north-central Nevada, approximately one hour northwest of Winnemucca and near the Oregon border, the project emphasizes sustainability through innovative energy and water conservation practices, including process heat recovery and extensive water recycling systems.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a transformational clean energy initiative that will play a major role in the future of domestic lithium production and the U.S. transition to renewable energy.
