The Chamber is pleased to announce Piedmont Lithium as our new Platinum Member. Piedmont is developing a world-class integrated lithium business in the United States, enabling the transition to a net-zero world and the creation of a clean energy economy in America.

Piedmont Lithium is on target to become the only integrated producer of lithium hydroxide from spodumene ore in the United States. With assets located in the mineral-rich, world-renowned Carolina Tin Spodumene belt in North Carolina, we’re just 25 miles west of the bustling city of Charlotte. This highly strategic location allows us to drive accessibility and affordability for American companies who are, in large part, currently tied to material resources in remote parts of the world that impact their entire business model.

Piedmont has developed a more stable and sustainable Lithium production solution designed to provide a significantly smaller footprint. We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the land, our planet, our environment, and our community. Doing our work in the most sustainable way possible is our number one priority because we understand what we produce is directly related to positively impacting the sustainability of our planet by helping to reduce global carbon emissions for future generations.

In July this year, Piedmont entered into a conditional binding agreement with IronRidge Resources to fully fund and fast track the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, part of IronRidge’s Ghanaian Cape Coast Lithium Portfolio (CCLP), to production.

This conditional agreement represents a unique opportunity to fast-track the development of its industry-leading asset and fund its pathway to production, all whilst providing the opportunity for Ghana to become the first lithium producer in Western Africa. Learn More
