Lithium: Fueling the Clean Energy Revolution
As the foundation of EVs, personal electronics, and grid-scale storage, lithium is more than a mineral, it’s the powerhouse driving the global shift to sustainable energy and a cleaner future.
From EVs to Energy Grids: Four Reasons Lithium Matters
Lithium powers the sustainable future—driving EVs, stabilizing renewable grids, and keeping our world connected.
Lithium By The Numbers
Understanding the Lithium Market
Despite increased production, supply chain bottlenecks and geopolitical risks are prominent concerns. There’s a growing focus on securing diversified, Western-world-facing supply chain sources for lithium, and PMET‘s Shaakichiuwaanaan project is ideally positioned to fill the gap in the market.
The global lithium market, while experiencing unprecedented demand driven by the clean energy transition, faces significant complications. Despite increased production from regions like Latin America and Australia, bottlenecks in the supply chain are a prominent concern. This environment has led to a growing focus on securing diversified and “Western-world-facing” supply chain sources for this vital mineral. The Shaakichiuwaanaan project represents an ideal solution to these complexities, due to its size, proximity to the market, transportation links and its timeline. The project is positioned to capitalize on the opportunity by offering a potential secure, Western-aligned source of lithium, alleviating supply chain pressures and contributing to the stability required for the ongoing energy transition.
Critical Minerals
Caesium and Tantalum
Caesium: Rare, Strategic, and In Demand
- Caesium is one of the rarest critical minerals on Earth, prized for its role in advanced electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, and medical imaging.
- With supply largely concentrated in a handful of deposits, market dynamics are shaped by scarcity and high strategic value.
- Securing a stable, Western-aligned source is vital for industries seeking resilience against supply shocks.
Tantalum: Powering High-Tech Innovation
- Tantalum is essential for capacitors and high-performance alloys used in smartphones, medical devices, defense systems, and aerospace.
- Global demand continues to rise as electronics production accelerates, yet supply is often limited and geopolitically exposed.
- Reliable, transparent sources like Shaakichiuwaanaan are key to meeting market needs while ensuring ethical and secure supply chains.
