Piedmont’s portfolio is strategically centered on conventional quarrying and processing, which involves producing lithium hydroxide from spodumene ore. This method offers the benefit of using less land than other forms of mining, such as brine evaporation.
To help further minimize land use for our Carolina Lithium project, we have strategically designed the site to fully integrate our expected activities. This integration will allow for a more environmentally responsible profile as ore moves through the production process to become lithium hydroxide.
For our Tennessee Lithium project, we have planned to maximize use of our land footprint in order to minimize impact to important habitats, such as wetlands.
