About us

Lithium Australia NL (‘LIT’) has one over-arching goal: the application of its disruptive processing technologies to the production of lithium chemicals on a commercial scale and at an operating cost in the lowest quartile.

To achieve its ends, LIT is:

• procuring access to feed materials with low exposure to mining costs;
• processing materials considered waste by other operators;
• developing strong strategic partnerships, and
• maintaining equity in resource projects globally.

Sustainability

LIT believes sustainability equates to viability with respect to both the manufacture and disposal of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Aside from processing ore rejected as waste by other mining operations, LIT ‘s disruptive extraction technologies could be part of the solution to battery recycling, in that stockpiles of discarded electronic/battery waste may actually be the best and cheapest source of essential energy metals (among them lithium and cobalt) that have already been mined and concentrated to manufacture the LIBs.

Resource security

LIT recognises the need for resource security when developing SiLeach^® processing hubs and, as a result, has taken positions in major lithium provinces around the globe.

Further, LIT is negotiating farm-out positions on a number of its exploration properties in return for first right of refusal on product generated from those areas, thereby retaining access to the supply chain without spending high-risk exploration dollars to realise reserves.

Finally, LIT maintains a watching brief globally, to identify projects that fit its exploration and development profile.
