U.S. lithium supplier Ioneer said Monday that its Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron mining project in Nevada has advanced to the final stages of federal permitting, a milestone that puts it on track to begin production in 2026 amid soaring demand for the critical mineral stoked by the Democratic climate law.
Lithium demand has skyrocketed alongside a growing push for electric vehicle adoption. According to a Benchmark analysis, demand is forecast to rise to a whopping 2.4 million tonnes LCE, or lithium carbonate equivalent, in 2030 — far higher than the 600,000 tons expected to be produced in 2022.Ioneer announced the news Monday after the Bureau of Land Management said it would publish a notice of intent in the Federal Register to begin preparation of an environmental impact statement.
The Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron deposit is the only known lithium-boron deposit in North America and one of only two known deposits in the world. Earlier this year, Ioneer signed a deal to supply 4,000 tons of lithium carbonate annually for five years to Prime Planet Energy & Solutions, the joint battery venture between Toyota and Panasonic.
