Circular economy
Where we play
We seek to lead and enable the global transition to sustainable electrification, delivering a better world. We do this by providing critical materials for the circular battery industry through battery recycling, lithium chemicals and battery materials.
LIT covers every touchpoint of the lithium value chain through its operations and strategic agreements.
Exploration and Mining
Investments in lithium exploration assets
Lithium Chemicals
Patented lithium
extraction technology
- Current commercial lithium extraction yields are -50-70%1
- LIT’s technology can process fine and low-grade materials to improve mining yields by up to 50%1
Battery Materials
Patented battery materials production process
- 95%+ of the world’s lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) is manufactured in China2
- LIT have verified it’s LFP product, manufactured using a commercially competitive process
Battery Manufacturing
Strong partnerships with leading battery cell manufacturers
Battery Recycling
Revenue generating battery recycling operation
- Lithium-ion battery waste is expected to grow at 20% per year through to 20363,4
- LIT is Australia’s leading lithium-ion battery recyclers with on-shore processing capabilities
