Piedmont Lithium, a Platinum AmCham Ghana, 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.

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.

Piedmont President and CEO Keith Phillips, hinted in a recent statement that spodumene production at Ewoyaa in partnership with Atlantic Lithium could begin as early as 2024. This is expected to feed the lithium hydroxide plant – LHP-2.

The company recently reported the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA” or “Study”) for a proposed merchant lithium hydroxide plant (“LHP-2”) to expand Piedmont’s planned U.S. manufacturing capacity to 60,000 t/y of lithium hydroxide. The LHP-2 PEA results demonstrate the potential for Piedmont Lithium to expand its lithium hydroxide manufacturing business using spodumene concentrate from market sources, including under existing offtake agreements with Sayona Quebec and Atlantic Lithium.
