What we do

We envision a world powered by sustainable energy. Lithium and other metals are crucial for the transition to sustainable energy, which requires responsible extraction and processing methods. If you're passionate about joining us at the forefront of the clean energy revolution and value autonomy and making a tangible impact, we encourage you to apply!
