Sorcia Minerals and Sinolithium Materials join forces for the construction of “battery-grade” Lithium hydroxide conversion plants

Sorcia Minerals, specialist in the extraction and transformation of high purity Lithium, announces a strategic partnership with Sinolithium Materials, a Chemphys Group affiliate specialized in the design and engineering of a state-of-the-art patented Lithium hydroxide processing technology, with a customer approved product quality.

Sorcia Minerals who recently announced a 350 million dollars investment toward the development and construction of battery grade Lithium hydroxide processing plants in Europe and South America, is further expanding its projects thanks to this key alliance. Sinolithium is set to provide the chemical technology necessary to the transformation of “battery-grade” Lithium hydroxide within conversion plants in Europe, Chile and Argentina.

Daniel T. Layton, CEO, Sorcia Minerals, says: ‘We could not be more excited to have a technology partner with decades’ long history of producing “battery-grade” lithium carbonate and hydroxide. This is a partnership that has come to fruition after several years of discussions and work together.’

Alison Dai, Director, Sinolithium Materials, says: ‘We are very much looking forward to working with Sorcia to support the development of Europe’s “battery-grade” lithium hydroxide supply chain.’

The parties are thrilled to announce this technical collaboration, which leverages Sorcia's extensive experience across several energy sectors, and Sinolithium's enduring expertise, and are both confident that it will be the foundation of a long-standing and successful partnership. This alliance is focused on addressing the growing demand for Lithium hydroxide in the electric vehicle and energy storage industries, supporting Europe's energy transition independence. The plants designed and constructed will play a critical role in enabling the transition toward a sustainable future, committed to the protection of ecosystems and populations.
