ABOUT ALKEMY CAPITAL

 

Alkemy is seeking to establish independent and sustainable lithium hydroxide
production by developing lithium sulphate and lithium hydroxide facilities in
the UK and Australia.

 

Alkemy, through its wholly owned UK subsidiary Tees Valley Lithium, has
secured a 9.6 ha brownfields site with full planning permission at the Wilton
International Chemicals Park in Teesside, a major UK Freeport, to build the
UK's first and one of Europe's largest lithium hydroxide processing facility.

 

Tees Valley Lithium has completed a Class 4 Feasibility Study for its proposed
lithium hydroxide refinery which will process feedstock imported from
various sources to produce 96,000 tonnes of premium, low-carbon lithium
hydroxide or an equivalent amount of lithium carbonate annually, representing
around 15% of Europe's projected demand.

 

Alkemy, through its wholly owned Australian subsidiary Port Hedland Lithium,
has secured a 43.7 ha site at the Boodarie strategic industry area, near Port
Hedland, Western Australia to build a world-class sustainable lithium sulphate
refinery that will provide reliable feedstock for Tees Valley Lithium's
refinery.

 

Port Hedland Lithium has completed a Class 4 Feasibility Study for its
proposed lithium sulphate refinery, each train of which will process spodumene
concentrate to produce 40,000 tonnes of lithium sulphate annually.
