Lake Resources is a clean lithium developer utilising state-of-the-art ion exchange extraction technology for production of sustainable, high purity lithium from its Kachi Project in Argentina.
This technology provides a solution for two rising demands – high purity battery materials to avoid performance issues, and more sustainable, responsibly sourced materials with low carbon footprint and significant ESG benefits.
It is looking to finance the project with UKEF and Canada’s EDC with Expressions of Interest to support approx. 70% of the total finance required.
