EWOYAA, GHANA
set to be Ghana’s first lithium-producing mine
The Company’s flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, set to be Ghana’s first lithium-producing mine, is being advanced to production under an agreement with Elevra Lithium.
The project is well located to excellent infrastructure and is proven to produce a spodumene concentrate product suitable for conversion to be used in EV batteries.
In June 2023, the Company announced its Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) for the Ewoyaa Project. The DFS considers the February 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate of 35.3Mt @ 1.25% Li₂O (since increased in July 2024 to 36.8Mt @ 1.24% Li₂O) and Ore Reserves of 25.6Mt @ 1.22% Li₂O.
In March 2026, the Mining Lease for the Project was ratified by the Parliament of Ghana, becoming the first Mining Lease to be granted and ratified for lithium in Ghana. Ratification represents a major milestone on the path for Ewoyaa to become the first producer of spodumene concentrate in the country.
