Piedmont is an ideal partner to fast track the Killick project to bring value to Sokoman's 18.25% stake.
Piedmont is looking to triple U.S. lithium hydroxide production with feed from its Ghana project into their Tennessee process project slated to start construction in 2024. Piedmont started taking spodumene production from Quebec this year.
Their Carolina project construction, slated to start 2025, has progressed at a fast pace.
Etowah and McMinn County, Tennessee plant is expected to produce 30,000 MT of lithium hydroxide per year –tripling the amount of lithium hydroxide production capacity currently available in the United States.
The United States government is behind fast tracking production of critical metals within the United States to reduce outside reliance on other countries.
