Tennessee Lithium is being designed as a world-class lithium hydroxide production facility and one of the most sustainable conversion plants of its kind. Located on a site within the North Etowah Industrial Park in the City of Etowah and McMinn County, Tennessee, the project is well-situated in a region with a strong manufacturing workforce, power infrastructure, rail, highways, and nearby riverways. 

The plant is expected to produce 30,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide per year. This capacity would more than double the current American production capacity of approximately 20,000 metric tons annually and greatly contribute to U.S. energy security. An offtake agreement from the Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana is expected to bring spodumene concentrate to the United States for production and conversion to lithium hydroxide in Tennessee.

We now hold all the material permits required to begin construction and are devoting 2024 to evaluate our funding strategy, including project financing and partnership opportunities for Tennessee Lithium.
