Piedmont Lithium is developing a world-class, multi-asset, integrated lithium business focused on enabling the transition to a net zero world and the creation of a clean energy economy in North America. Their goal is to become one of the largest lithium hydroxide producers in North America by processing spodumene concentrate produced from assets where they hold an economic interest. Their projects include the Carolina Lithium and Tennessee Lithium projects in the United States and partnerships in Quebec with Sayona Mining, and in Ghana with Atlantic Lithium. They believe these geographically diversified operations help them play a pivotal role in supporting America’s move toward energy independence and the electrification of transportation and energy storage.
