Opportunity

With planned investment of over £100m, to establish the North East of England as a strategic centre of lithium production, Northern Lithium has the opportunity to write a new chapter in the region’s 1,000-year history of mineral extraction.

The UK is currently solely reliant on imports of lithium from Asia, Australia and South America. Establishing a commercial supply of lithium in the North East of England will create a secure, domestic source of a critical element within the manufacturing supply chain of lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles whilst also reducing the environmental impact of producing and transporting lithium from current source locations.
