About Rock Tech Lithium
Rock Tech’s vision is to supply the EV and battery industry with sustainable, locally produced lithium while working toward a 100% recycling rate. To build resilient supply chains, the company plans to locate lithium converters close to customers. The first project is a Lithium Hydroxide Converter in Guben, Germany, with a second planned in Ontario, Canada. Rock Tech intends to source raw materials from its Georgia Lake spodumene project and from other ESG-compliant mines through partnerships.
