In what is believed to be a world first, we have produced lithium at pilot scale from the mica in granite at our new pilot plant near Roche.
The pilot plant design is based on four years’ intensive research and development and is the latest milestone in British Lithium’s progress towards full operational status. All UK car manufacturing will convert to electric vehicles by 2030 and lithium carbonate is a key component in the batteries required to power them.
“New processes are normally piloted during the definitive feasibility stage but, as lithium has never been produced commercially from mica before, de-risking our proprietary technology is an important step in developing our project,” said Chief Executive Andrew Smith. We will be manufacturing 5 kilograms of lithium carbonate per day from early this year in our pilot plant — enough to demonstrate its commercial value to customers. Once the process is fully developed, work will begin on building a full-scale plant.
