Company description

Bacanora Lithium is an AIM listed company focused on building, in collaboration with its major shareholder and offtake partner, Ganfeng Lithium (the world’s largest lithium metals producer), a 35,000 tonne per annum open pit battery grade lithium operation at its flagship asset, the Sonora Lithium Project in Mexico. To capitalise on the fast-growing lithium market, our main focus is to monetise the resources and reserves held in the Sonora Project, which benefits from a large, scalable and high-grade lithium resource with a Measured and Indicated Resource of over 5 million tonnes Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE).
