About us
Cornish Lithium is focused on exploring for lithium within the hot springs that naturally occur beneath the surface in and around Cornish granites, with the aim to create a new mining industry in Cornwall. The directors of Cornish Lithium have extensive mining industry and fundraising experience and have secured agreements with various holders of mineral rights in Cornwall to explore for, and to commercially develop, lithium bearing hot spring brines throughout areas considered to be highly prospective. The region has long been associated with tin and copper. Cornish Lithium, by undertaking one of the largest unified exploration projects in the history of Cornwall, sees the potential to move Cornish mining into the 21st century. Lithium is the lightest metal and one of the most chemically reactive. As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, lithium’s importance and demand is growing rapidly with increasing usage in batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. With demand for lithium expected to increase rapidly for uses in modern technologies, the UK government has highlighted this strategic mineral as a metal of importance to UK industry. Goldman Sachs has described lithium as “the new gasoline” due to its ability to fuel a transformation in the automotive industry and to move the world towards a zero-emissions future, especially when combined with renewable power sources.

Can Europe really compete in critical minerals? Our CEO and Founder, Jeremy Wrathall, recently joined Richard Delevan on the Wicked Problems podcast to discuss just that. With recent insights from the Labour Party conference, Jeremy sheds light on how Cornish Lithium is pioneering sustainable, domestic lithium sources vital for EV batteries and energy storage. He discusses topics including: 🟢 Why Cornish Lithium’s designation as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project is crucial, and how we aim to supply lithium for EV batteries and grid-scale energy storage. 🟢 The fluctuations in the lithium market and how the UK can build resilient supply chains. 🟢 Upcoming innovations in battery tech, including solid-state batteries. 🟢 Insights on the need for government support in securing critical mineral investments. Jeremy and Richard were also joined by industry experts Ben Cooke, The Times Earth supplements editor, Freya Pratty, senior reporter at Sifted and Ben Kilbey, head of communications at BOLD Voodoo. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that connects the dots between policy, industry, and our path to a sustainable future! 👉 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/ee_APcJn #ClimateTech #Lithium #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #CornishLithium #Podcast #CriticalMinerals #Innovation

To mark World EV Day, let's look at how we are helping #DriveChange to support the shift to a decarbonised society. Electric cars need batteries, batteries need lithium and the UK needs lithium. In fact, by 2030 the UK is expected to need 80,000 tonnes of lithium - and that's where we come in. We expect to be able to supply around 30% of the forecast demand. Every tonne we supply domestically - and responsibly - is one tonne less than the UK needs to import from overseas. This will cut the carbon footprint of the lithium needed and support the development of the UK’s battery industry, generating skilled jobs and providing economic strength. Here's to propelling the e-mobility movement and the mission to zero. #WorldEVDay #lithium #mining #electric #cornwall #uk #netzero
