At several sites in southwestern England, Cornish Lithium is moving forward with plans to produce lithium hydroxide, ready to supply the battery industry from both hard rock mining and extraction from geothermal brine. With planning permission in place for expanded drilling and a commercial production facility, the company is exploring supply agreements with battery companies, as well as potential opportunities to supply geothermal heat and potable water to the local population.
Cornish Lithium has set up a demonstration plant for refining geothermal brines into battery-grade materials.
