East Brawley is situated in the Imperial Valley, California. The Imperial Valley is attracting significant interest given large-scale lithium resources in the area and has strong local community and government support.
With recent US government sustainability initiatives, the region has become a hub for US-based lithium production and has been a geothermal power centre for more than 40 years.
✓
23,000 acres of surface and mineral rights leases (largest in the region) which hosts a globally significant and high-grade lithium mineral resource
✓
Located in a Tier 1 operating jurisdiction with ever growing support from the US government to establish a domestic lithium and critical minerals supply chain
✓
Well-positioned to benefit from America’s Pro-EV Policies
✓ One of only two places in the world with the potential for carbon-neutral lithium production
✓ Access to significant regional infrastructure including roads, rail, ports and power distribution
✓ We continue to build strong and favourable connections with the local community
✓ We choose to employ local contractors as a priority
✓
We continue to support numerous charity events

“Since President Biden took office and signed historic clean energy laws, there have been $92 Billion worth of investments in America’s battery supply chain”
“As the world transitions to a clean energy economy, global demand for these critical minerals is set to skyrocket over the next several decades, and, for minerals such as lithium and graphite used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries, demand will increase by even more – as much as 4,000 percent”
"Lithium was identified by the US Government as one of the minerals critical to the US national economy and national security.”
Geochemist Michael McKibben - “If you do a back-of-the-envelope calculation, you can convince yourself there’s somewhere between 1 and 6 million metric tons of lithium in that field,” he said. “That would be the largest brine source of lithium in the world, bigger than any individual South American Salar deposit. So, it’s a big number, and it means the potential is there for – again, back-of-the-envelope calculations – something like 50 to 100 years’ worth of lithium production.”
