Lithium Iberia

Lithium Iberia has designed the Las Navas mining project, which will allow the extraction of lithium by means of a sustainable and respectful mining system and its subsequent conversion into battery grade lithium hydroxide. Lithium is a strategic mineral for the development of renewable energy and global environmental sustainability, as it is an essential raw material for the energy storage industry for vehicles and electronic devices.



Our Project

It is located in a rural area of Cañaveral (Cáceres), in a deposit with one of the largest lithium reserves in the European Union and, in addition to the mining activity, it envisages the construction of a mining beneficiation plant for the production of battery grade lithium hydroxide. Innovative advances in green mining will be integrated into processes and production, making Las Navas the most sustainable mining operation in Europe.
