Vulcan Energy to expand lithium mining in the Upper Rhine Graben

At its zero-carbon lithium project in the Upper Rhine Graben, Vulcan Energy Resources plans to produce a significantly higher volume of lithium than previously planned. This is according to the final feasibility study, which was published on Monday. According to the study, 24,000 tons of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) per year can be mined at the Upper Rhine Graben in the initial project development phase starting in late 2025. This is 60 percent more than was indicated in the preliminary feasibility study. In the second phase, another 24,000 tons would be added.
