Ghana is set to become the first country in West Africa to produce lithium, a key component in electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy storage systems. The Ewoyaa lithium project, developed by Atlantic Lithium, is expected to start production in 2025 and reach its full capacity of 365,000 tonnes of lithium annually in 2026.
Ghana''s discovery of deposits and its long-standing strategy to boost local processing place the country in a strong position to leverage this new industry. Atlantic Lithium – formerly IronRidge Lithium – and Piedmont Lithium are the developers of the Ewoyaa Lithium Project. The definitive feasibility study showed a mineral resource
Another technological trend to watch closely is the pace at which lithium battery recycling is maturing. A time may come when demand for primary-mined lithium goes down significantly because so much is being produced from recycling old batteries. Besides technological shifts is the ongoing price volatility that has seen prices of lithium compounds
ReElement Technologies Corporation, renowned for its expertise in high-performance refining capacity of rare earth and critical battery elements, will spearhead the lithium processing plant''s establishment. This collaborative effort reflects a commitment to advancing Ghana''s lithium discovery and supporting the global demand for electric
Senya Beraku, identified as holding vast lithium deposits, stands to become Ghana''s flagship lithium mining hub. Developing this resource hub not only boosts local employment and infrastructure but also positions Ghana as a
Promoting the growth of the lithium battery sector has been a critical aspect of China''s energy policy in terms of achieving carbon neutrality. However, despite significant support on research and development (R&D) investments that have resulted in increasing size, the sector seems to be falling behind in technological areas. To guide future policies and understand
La première mine de lithium au Ghana suscite un vif intérêt de la part du gouvernement, qui souhaite en faire un élément central de sa politique de valorisation des minéraux critiques. En septembre 2023, le gouvernement
The Company''s flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, set to be Ghana''s first lithium-producing mine, is being advanced to production under an agreement with Piedmont Lithium. The project is well located to excellent infrastructure and is proven to produce a spodumene concentrate product suitable for conversion to be used in EV batteries.
With critical minerals a central issue in the global energy transition, Ghana''s 2018 discovery of lithium deposits has brought international attention to the West African country. Five years
This collaborative effort reflects a commitment to advancing Ghana''s lithium discovery and supporting the global demand for electric vehicle components. The full scope includes improving the value step by importing high-value technology in processing and refining lithium ore in Ghana by Ghanaians in Africa. In a statement, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
The Company''s flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, set to be Ghana''s first lithium-producing mine, is being advanced to production under an agreement with Piedmont Lithium.
Piedmont Lithium (PLL; ASX: PLL), a major North American lithium products supplier, has announced that Ghana''s Environmental Protection Agency has granted an EPA Permit for the Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana.
With critical minerals a central issue in the global energy transition, Ghana''s 2018 discovery of lithium deposits has brought international attention to the West African country.

Five years later, and in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, worldwide demand for lithium is even greater, and 2023 has seen Ghana take several steps forwards in positioning itself in the global supply chain. The first step was conducting a definitive feasibility study in June 2023 for the Ewoyaa Lithium Project on the Cape Coast.
Ghana’s discovery of deposits and its long-standing strategy to boost local processing place the country in a strong position to leverage this new industry. Atlantic Lithium – formerly IronRidge Lithium – and Piedmont Lithium are the developers of the Ewoyaa Lithium Project.
The project is poised to be a catalyst for economic development in Ghana, fostering job creation, technology transfer, and sustainable practices. The construction of the lithium processing plant and training facility is slated to commence in the coming months, with an anticipated completion date in early 2025.
Ghana is set to become the first country in West Africa to produce lithium, a key component in electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy storage systems. The Ewoyaa lithium project, developed by Atlantic Lithium, is expected to start production in 2025 and reach its full capacity of 365,000 tonnes of lithium annually in 2026.
This ground-breaking initiative, unveiled during a courtesy call on the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, signals a significant leap forward in Africa’s quest for sustainable energy solutions and economic development driven by the growing lithium industry.
The Ewoyaa lithium project could position Ghana as a strategic supplier of lithium in the global market and help diversify its economy away from traditional commodities such as gold, cocoa, and oil. The project could also pave the way for further exploration and development of other lithium deposits in Ghana and the region.
